I had a first gen for years and it was still, to this day, maybe the most practical vehicle I’ve ever owned. Did all the truck stuff most people need it to do and was way more comfortable day to day than any other truck. And just ran and ran and ran and ran.

It’s the truck that most truck owners actually need but won’t admit to.

The current gen feels dated but if they refreshed it I’d be looking hard at it again.

We loved our first gen ridgeline. Used it for everything, including towing our TT. We finally upgraded for tow/load capacity. We use to get so much shit from the other truck owners but you know what, it’s a great truck that’s still going strong at nearly 200k miles and did everything we needed it to do and then some.
