re: Anyone here owns a Ridgeline? I'm in the market for a new truck.

I have a Gen 1 Ridgeline. An '07. Zero problems outside of a plastic pully on the counterweight that helps tilt the rear seat up that needed to be replaced. Changed the timing belt myself at 117k miles. It's a great daily driver, soooo much easier to live with than then full sized PUs I've had in the past. We all know what a PITA parking a full sized PU is. The Ridgeline is a dream in comparison. Having a large locking trunk you can fit your family's luggage in is a game changer. When taking the family to the range it's nice being able to lock all the guns safely in the trunk and have room for 4 people in the cab. No more guns rolling around the bed under a tonneu cover. Tonneu cover was a must have for me on the full size for dry luggage space that wasn't the back seat. Now I hardly ever put the tonneu cover on my Ridgeline. I've hauled couches, lumber, mountain bikes, straw, hay, gravel, scout's pop corn, etc in the bed of my Ridgeline. Not sure how much the 22ft Pontoon weights but it tows it without any issues. I wouldn't want to tow something that large across the sierra nevadas but for in town pulling the pontoon out of the water to take it to be serviced the Ridgeline has been very capable. FWD biased AWD system is pretty awesome for pulling boats up wet ramps.
