What Honda Ridgeline do most buyers choose?

The Honda Ridgeline years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, newer features, and broad shopper appeal. More listings also give you more room to compare prices and equipment before you buy.

What is the Honda Ridgeline's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing.

That pattern points to broad price easing rather than a single-year anomaly.

The 2014 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.
