Used 2024 Honda Ridgeline for Sale nearMadison, WI

How much does the 2024 Honda Ridgeline cost?

Prices have softened 5.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,537 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Honda Ridgeline earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, spaciousness, and user-friendly features, and they also like its attractive pricing compared with other trucks. In practical terms, that lines up well with a truck that is meant to work as an easy daily driver rather than a rough-edged utility vehicle.

The trade-offs are clear: the transmission can be irritating, and towing capacity is unimpressive. Even so, the Ridgeline’s use case is straightforward — if you want truck utility without a harsh or complicated driving experience, this year’s updates make it especially appealing.

With 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with comfort and practicality that make it easy to count on. The expert evaluation also describes it as easy to drive and live with, with a robust V6 that helps it perform well in real-world use.

Honda’s complimentary scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles adds a helpful ownership perk early on. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright fragility and more about whether prior owners accepted the Ridgeline’s towing and off-road limits.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Honda Ridgeline?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a truck that may have seen family duty, commuting, or light hauling. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin, and whether the truck’s features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and Black Edition each add different levels of styling and equipment, and the base Sport benefits from the updated interior and tech. If you want the most rugged look and hardware, the TrailSport is the trim that adds the off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and underbody protection.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic and torque-vectoring AWD. It’s smooth and quick on the road, but the transmission can feel irritating, and off-road capability remains limited.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist with road departure mitigation, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on the Sport, and it was previously reserved for the RTL.
• Infotainment: Every Ridgeline gets a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and a 7-inch digital display in the gauge cluster. The Black Edition adds HD Radio, extra USB ports, and an eight-speaker premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The truck returned 19.4 mpg in testing, just below its official 20 mpg combined rating.

Which 2024 Honda Ridgeline trim should I buy?

The 2024 Honda Ridgeline is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and Black Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the best-value starting point because it gets the updated 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, and the standard Honda Sensing suite. It also now includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, which makes the entry trim easier to recommend than before.
• RTL: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It adds a brown leather interior color option and keeps the Ridgeline’s core strengths intact.
• TrailSport: This is the trim to buy if you want the most distinctive look and the most off-road-focused hardware in the lineup. It adds the off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, underbody protection, and exclusive styling touches, though it still isn’t a hardcore off-roader.
• Black Edition: Pick this if you want the most premium presentation and the richest audio and convenience upgrades. It stands apart with HD Radio, extra USB ports, and an eight-speaker premium sound system.

Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on the Sport, so safety coverage is strong even at the entry level.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Honda Ridgeline?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,537 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,261, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline's resale value?

The current average of $34,709 sits slightly below last year's $36,663.

That decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer today but may also mean future resale gains are more limited than they were a year ago. If you plan to sell later, the current pricing trend points to a truck that is holding value reasonably well, but not appreciating.

Strong owner satisfaction can still support demand when it’s time to resell. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline safe?

The 2024 Ridgeline earns an Acceptable score in the IIHS small overlap frontal-impact test and a Marginal rating for its headlights. It also earns five-star ratings across the board except for rollover resistance, where it scores a four-star rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist with road departure mitigation, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is also standard on the Sport.

The main caveat is that the driver-assistance tech can feel a bit intrusive at times, especially in thicker traffic, and the IIHS results show the truck’s age in a few areas. Still, the standard safety equipment is broad, and the NHTSA results are strong overall.

Should I buy a 2024 Honda Ridgeline or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.33% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• This year adds a TrailSport trim, updated tech, and more traditional pickup styling.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,910, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $34,709 average.
• It emphasizes practicality and everyday usefulness.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $36,946, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,709 average.
• It carries over the Ridgeline’s comfort-focused, easy-to-live-with setup.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of updates, safety equipment, and market availability, the 2024 is the strongest all-around pick. If your budget matters most, the 2023 is the better value path, while the 2025 makes sense only if you’re comfortable paying more for a similar formula.
