Replying to: ustazzaf (Sep 25, 2005 9:42 pm) your research is about as unfounded as your so called comparison.you have no clue as to what your talking about 11k for a trailer hitch!!!!!!!! come on the ridge comes standard with dual 160 watt fans tranny cooler power steering cooler and radiator cooler and comes standard pre wired for hitch assembly......and you dont add ball hitches to bumpers in the 21st centry slick the tow assembly has a reciever in the assembly Replies to this message: ustazzaf (Nov 24, 2005 5:01 pm)

Replying to: sandimas (Nov 24, 2005 9:27 am) I didn't say that the hitch was 11 grand, but that is obvious. What I said was that it costs 11 grand more to get a base model tow ready Ridgeline compared to a Tacoma. A top of the line Tacoma with a larger capacity is only about 5 grand below the base model Ridgeline (Seattle area anyway). And yes, I do see people using their bumpers to tow almost daily. If the dealer gave me bad info on the wiring, cry to him. He said making the vehicle tow ready involved installing a relay behind the dash and running wires back. Maybe he just didn't want to sell a truck.

Just bought it, love the truck, but have a minor drifting to right,, was told by dealership 1- motor torque. (even while coasting ? tire pressure is equal!) 2- factories make them this way incase people fall asleep the vehicle wont go into on coming traffic.   Has anyone experienced this? is this common for ridgeline? please help.....

Replying to: france (Nov 30, 2005 10:27 pm) Both answers are bogus. The CR-V had a similar problem, which we've dubbed "PTTR". The solution often requires rotating the tires, fixing the alignment, or turning a support plate where the shocks are mounted.
#482 of 547 Ridgeline by blueridgeline Dec 02, 2005 (8:32 pm)
I went ahead and got the Ridgeline because the Toyotas were sold out. The first one lasted almost 6 weeks. The dealer did an even trade because it would not stop quitting in traffic and they could not fix it. My second one just went in Thursday for the same problem. Anyone else having this problem? It dies at stop lights or at 70 MPH. Usually it will start again after 30 minutes to an hour. Normally it happens with my 3K pound trailer behind. Not always though. Any help would be appreciated.
#483 of 547 Saw a Ridgeline last week by dockeen Dec 03, 2005 (6:44 pm)
I saw my first "on the road" Ridgeline last week.   You just don't see them too much here in the Florida panhandle area - even though they have them on the lot at the Honda dealer.   Maybe its because they have not advertized much here.   I am not being a wiseguy here, I am just surprised they have not sold better here.   Wayne Replies to this message: rsholland (Dec 04, 2005 8:06 am)

Replying to: dockeen (Dec 03, 2005 6:44 pm) I trhink it depends on where you live as to the popularity. I live in the Baltimore/DC area, and I see them almost daily on the roads. I suspect that's not the case in rural parts of the country and/or "Middle America," where conservative thinking usually dominates and traditional ideas about what a truck "should" be takes forever to change.   Bob

I know I was not taken with the styling of the Ridgeline (not was I taken with the Avalanche that it, in some ways reminds me of).   My wife and I looked at one on a Sunday, and were a bit put off at sticker price, because at that time I thought I was going to get a Baja. I never drove one.   Later, after hurricane Dennis, and out thinking shifted to a larger vehicle that could be an evacuation vehicle, I never got around to driving the Ridgeline before I bought my Taco. I should have, instead of driving a Colorado, which made no sense for the role, and I did not like.   Wayne Replies to this message: trashington (Dec 05, 2005 5:59 am) ustazzaf (Dec 05, 2005 6:23 pm) bamacar (Dec 06, 2005 12:00 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: dockeen (Dec 04, 2005 5:09 pm) Sticker price is not what you'll pay or should pay for any vehicle. I have been hearing of people getting the RTS ridge for $26500, not too bad for all the nice features that come standard. A comprably equipped taco will definitely cost more than that.

Replying to: trashington (Dec 05, 2005 5:59 am) The innovative V-6 pickup costs about $10,000 more than other compact trucks in the United States. And that is hurting sales, says Koichi Kondo, president of American Honda Motor Co. "We will take measures if needed," Kondo said at a press event in Tokyo two weeks ago. Right from the horse's mouth. I still haven't seen a barebones Ridgeline for less than $32K, but if they do lower the price, then it makes the people who paid $35K for the same truck that is now selling for $26K look pretty foolish. And the boss himself said that they were willing to leave the price up long enough to gouge the fools before lowering the price. That's a company I want to deal with. Toyotas may seem overpriced to some, but the bottom line is that they can't keep them on the lot and I can guarantee that the 05 I bought in March won't be $8K more than the same 06 in December. When the new selling price of your vehicle drops $8K, your resale take a major hit. Replies to this message: bamacar (Dec 06, 2005 12:00 pm) wooddorker (Dec 07, 2005 5:35 am)
