Honda Ridgeline

[trenchdog1914]

This is for Wayne:  I just bought a Ridgeline.  What was it about the accessory tonneau cover that you said you proboably wouldn't buy again?  Any problems with the truck?  I'm very happy with mine at 5K miles.  Bill Lasser wlasser4967@charter.net

Hi Bill, glad to hear you like your Ridgeline.  The only problem I've had with the tonneau cover is when I raise it, the rubber side seals hang up on the sides of the vehicle.  I took it to DWaltripHonda and they replaced some parts and now it works like it should.  I've had zero problems with the vehicle through 26K miles.  I'd buy one again.  Good luck and enjoy!  Wayne

I've changed tires on several at work, everyone I've talked to loves them. 

....who can honestly find anything bad to say about Honda though?  From dirt bikes, cement mixers and lawn mowers, to passenger cars. Few if any have/will ever build a better engine...'cept maybe Toyota

The "BIG THREE" of yesterday are dead.  RIP GM, Ford, & Chrysler.    It may not be very patriotic in our declining economy, but the truth is the truth.  They've been outclassed by the new big three;  Honda, Toyota, & Nissan.

MW, I'd like to disagree with your last paragraph, but can't.   
Maybe the 'Volt' will electrify buyers  , but I have my doubts.

Yup, it's sad
I'd love to still be a Ford man, but I have to put what little money I have where it will do the most good for ME.  A Toyota does that for me.  Never owned a Honda Automobile, but they are every bit as good.

I'm sure Smokepole would agree as well.


If GM wants a REAL solution, they should hire a Japanese businessman and give him absolute authority.  In a few years, I might be driving a Chevrolet.  It's truly sad.




It's interesting to note, approx 75% of the Camrys in this country are made in Kentucky.  A couple of years ago when Toyota was entering NASCAR, several angry (and uninformed) men passed through the shop complaining of having foreign cars on the track with American cars.  Well, with all the outsourcing for parts that the american three do {mexico/ ford; canada/gm}  who's the real american made car???
