2013 Honda Ridgeline

Quote :

Always dancing to the beat of its own drummer in the midsize truck segment, the Honda Ridgeline goes into 2013 adding a rearview camera as standard equipment across the lineup. Suggested retail pricing for the 2013 models remains unchanged from 2012, when it received a mid-cycle refresh.

As before, the Ridgeline is offered in four trim levels, starting with the RT trim at $30,180, including a $830 destination charge. The RT offers a standard integrated trailer hits, prewiring for a seven-pin trailer harness, keyless entry, a power-sliding rear window, and the newly standard for 2013 rearview camera. The Sport trim adds 18-inch alloy wheels, a black honeycomb grille, black head- and taillight housings, auxiliary audio input, and rear privacy glass.

The RTS adds dual-zone climate control, an upgraded audio system, body-color door handles, and an exterior thermometer. The topline RTL trim adds leather seating surfaces with heated front seats, a power driver's seat, six-disc in-dash CD changer, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and an optional navigation system.

All Ridgelines are powered by Honda's 3.5-liter V-6 producing 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, and come standard with all-wheel drive.

To me that truck should have stood on fuel efficiency. The only thing it has going for it is that it's a Honda, and that's only going to appeal to so many. If it had some other claim to make then it may have done better. But it can't even claim good F,E, compared to so much else being offered. So why would most people consider it?

did they ever fix the fact that if you get a flat and have a load in the bed, you have to UNLOAD the entire truck bed to get the spare out?

Nope, that's what AAA is for.

LOL, I can see it now,

ridgeline owner: umm AAA, I need a spare tire change, and PS, tell the tire guy to bring a shovel.

AAA operator: a shovel?

ridgeline owner: yes, he has to shovel all the gravel I have in the bed out then get the spare out, then he has to shovel all the gravel back in so I can get back on the road.


sweet

^^^

Then AAA shows up with a flat bed and says, where would you like to be towed to.

Maybe the Ridgeline owner needs to be on the 'premium' plan?

Was it just a rumor that when the Ridgeline first came out the sheet metal in the rear was wrinkling due to body flex?
