Used 2024 Honda Ridgeline for Sale nearSan Diego, CA

How much does the 2024 Honda Ridgeline cost?

Prices have softened 4.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,594 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 5/5 user-rated truck with an expert rating of 7.33/10. 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 use-case terms, that lines up well if you want a midsize pickup that feels easy to live with every day rather than one that leans hard into ruggedness.

The main trade-offs are the irritating transmission and the limited off-road capability, with towing also falling short of some rivals. Even so, the Ridgeline’s practical, daily-driver-friendly character makes sense if your needs stay within light-duty truck territory.

Good and great deals account for 33.7% of listings, which is a healthy sign that you can still find value in the market.

Is the 2024 Honda Ridgeline reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels comfortable, spacious, and user-friendly, which usually goes hand in hand with a dependable ownership experience. The expert evaluation also describes it as easy to drive and live with, with a robust V6 that helps it stand out in real-world use.

Honda also includes complimentary scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles, which can reduce early ownership hassle. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the truck’s modest towing and off-road limits fit your needs.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one that may have seen truck-duty use. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the truck’s features and driving behavior match the seller’s description.

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 now benefits from the updated interior tech and safety upgrades. The TrailSport stands out for its off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, underbody protection, and exclusive paint option.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic and torque-vectoring AWD. It’s smooth and strong for daily driving, but towing and off-road capability remain 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 this year, which used to require an upgrade.
• 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 system also has a faster processor, and the available navigation system gets updated graphics and simplified menus.
• Fuel efficiency: The truck returned 19.4 mpg in testing, and the official combined rating is 20 mpg.

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 value play because it gets the updated 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, and the standard Honda Sensing suite, plus blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert this year. If you want the most affordable path into the Ridgeline without giving up the core upgrades, this is the one to start with.
• RTL: This trim adds a more upscale feel, including the available brown leather color mentioned in the cabin updates, and it suits you if you want a nicer interior without jumping to the more specialized trims.
• TrailSport: Choose this if you want the most rugged-looking Ridgeline, with the off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and underbody protection. It’s the trim that best matches the truck’s new-for-2024 adventure-oriented character.
• Black Edition: This is the most premium-looking version, with HD Radio, extra USB ports, and an eight-speaker premium sound system. It makes sense if you want the most feature-rich and upscale presentation.

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard starting with the Sport this year.

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: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,594 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.89% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,263, 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 $34,690 sits slightly below last year's $36,473.

That softer pricing suggests the Ridgeline has become more approachable for used buyers, which can help keep demand steady if you decide to sell later. A lower entry price today may also make depreciation feel less steep than it would on a pricier truck.

For future resale, the Ridgeline’s appeal should remain strongest with shoppers who value comfort, practicality, and easy daily use over hard-core truck capability. 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 Honda 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 from NHTSA except for rollover resistance, where it scores a four-star rating.

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 this year.

The main caveat is that the IIHS results show the Ridgeline’s age in a couple of areas, so you should weigh its strong active-safety equipment against those weaker crash-test and headlight results.

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:

• 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• This year adds the TrailSport trim, updated tech, and improved standard safety equipment.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,789, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $34,690 average.
• It emphasizes practicality and daily-driver usefulness.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $36,873, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,690 average.
• It carries over the Ridgeline’s comfort-focused, easy-to-live-with formula.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of updates, safety equipment, and everyday usability, the 2024 is the strongest pick. If your priority is spending less, the 2023 is the better value path, while the 2025 makes sense only if you’re comfortable paying more for a similar formula.
