Will It Last 400K Miles? // 2024 Honda Ridgeline Trailsport

Рет қаралды 195,983

Ай бұрын

The First Generation Honda Ridgeline has been known to make it to over 400k miles; with this Ridgeline being one of the last naturally aspirated midsize "trucks", it has some appeal to it for that reason, but! is the latest version of the single cam Honda J Series as reliable as it once was? Let me know your thoughts below!

My Ridgeline RTS has 225k miles on it. I bought it in March 2005, when they first became available. I swore then that I would drive it until the wheels came off. I still have quite a way to go before that happens. It has been the most trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned.

You would not get same mileage with direct injection Honda ridgeline. Carbon build up will destroy this engine before you know it and fuel dilution

Mine has similar miles on it but has rusted in some critical areas so i had to have it repaired by welding in More material or risk body ripping apart. Of you get one folks make sure you take it to a rust proofer for a complete saturation inside and out. Im in the salt belt but i wash my vehicle every week during the winter. Trouble free otherwise.

My 2006 Ridgeline was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I put 285k miles on it and I'm sure it would have easily gone another 200k. my time owning the vehicle, other than timing belts, tires, brakes, and oil changes I had no others repairs needed. Zero. Unreal 😮 All you need to do is look for a used one and you'll be amazed at how many of them are for sale with over 200k miles When I no longer need a minivan for my kids I'll be going back to a Ridgeline for sure. It might not be seen at a "real truck" but I can guarantee you that most other real trucks can't even touch the reliability of a Ridgeline.

Same here. Owned a first-year 06 model for about 5 years from 175,000 up to about 225,000 miles. Only non-wear maintenance/repair I did was a new power steering pump! The thing ran basically like new throughout my ownership.

Last week my '14 Accord turned 222,222 miles. Only unscheduled repairs was a sun visor. Uses a quart of oil about every 5 to 10 thousand miles, I should ad it has the rare 6 speed manual! :). Also it has the 2.4 litre.

@panamafloyd1469 Ай бұрын

I bought my '02 RSX Type-S with 150K on it, and put another 150K on it. Oil consumption was a bit high at 300K (1qt/1000mi), but I'd still be driving it if someone on their cellphone hadn't center-punched my passenger side in an intersection. First car I ever owned with VTEC. I'm a road racing fan and when it 'kicked in', I thought, "Holy crap. They made this for Senna!!" It was actually kind of 'spiritual'! 😆 Love the sound of that V6 in the RIdgeline. If I wasn't retired, I'd be shopping TLXs.

I’ve got a ‘22. Pretty spot on review. I’m almost ashamed to admit it’s the fastest car I’ve ever owned. The terrain modes are pretty great for varying weather conditions. It’s not just traction control, it controls throttle response as well. Those tires look like a big upgrade over the lower model OEM Firestones. Maybe I’ll spring for Coopers at the end of the summer. My only real gripe is the time the shift-by-wire, it takes forever to shift from reverse to drive. It seems silly the Trailsport doesn’t come with the bed power inverter.
