From what I've seen, Frontiers have consistently been cheaper than Ridgelines when new, by several thousand dollars, which was a major motivation for my Frontier purchase back in '06. At the same time, used Ridgelines hold their value much better than used Frontiers. There's a message in there somewhere. Toyota is treating the Tacoma just like Ford has treated the Ranger for many years--basically making only minor trim changes every few ... Read More
As I recall, the transmissions used in the Ridgeline starting in 2006 were the first "new" 5-speed transmissions used by Honda since they had all their transmission problems in most of their vehicles--like the problems you have had with your MDX. The same transmission has been used in the Odyssey since 2008. We just picked up a new 2010 RL RTL to replace our 2008 RL RTS. It turns out that ... Read More
Hope this helps someone. On 12/13/10 we bought a new (left-over) 2010 RTL w/o NAV. Price before all taxes & "handling" fees was $31210. We thought we did pretty well since there is no difference whatsoever from 2010 to 2011. Only way to tell the difference is the part of the VIN that covers the model year. We are hedging our bets, as it sure seems Honda is NOT very committed ... Read More
Here you go icline.

Honda has announced the 2011 Ridgeline. There are no changes from the 2010 model. When will Honda redesign the Ridgeline? Its been 5 years since this truck was introduced.
I made a mistake in the previous post. Should have stated the full makeover will come in July 2011 as a 2012 model RL. Thanks, Brad
Not a remodel year, just a midmodel makeover. The real makeover will not come until the 2011 model year, so in late 2010. A couple of years away. The larger wheels are nice and the back-up camera. The fogs are a good addition. Supposedly the instrument cluster is changed but no pics as of yet. Brad
It is well known that Honda has a 6-cylinder diesel in the works. It's slated for the Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline and probably some Acura models as well. I expect to see it in 2010 or 2011. Here are a few links stating that: http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061205/FREE/61204019/1024/c- - ara_submit http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/04/honda-may-outfit-ridgeline-and-others-with-v6- - -diesel/ http://www.leftlanenews.com/honda-to-make-diesel-v6-for-us-by-10.html As to the diesel having too much torque: I'm sure Honda will engineer it properly to handle the increased torque.
