2013 Honda Ridgeline Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The hunky Ridgeline, Honda’s unique pickup, roars into 2013, albeit with few changes since last year’s refresh. There are 5 levels of trim, all of which include the Ridgeline’s 5-passenger Crew cab coupled with its distinctive stubby rear end truck bed. Under the hood is a peppy 3.5-liter V6 engine with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque; AWD and a 5-speed automatic transmission are also standard.
This vehicle is aimed at families who use their truck for recreation, not work. The unibody suspension and full-frame construction helps emphasize passenger comfort at all levels of trim. The base trim, called the RT, sits atop a 17-inch wheelbase and comes with features such as daytime running lights, integrated bed lights and a 7-pin trailer harness. A dual-action tailgate can flip or swing open.
The next level, Sport, adds 18-inch wheels, an auxiliary input jack and a black front grille. Next up, the RTS, includes dual-zone climate control, an exterior thermometer and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The top-of-the-line RTL leatherizes the surfaces, heats the front seats and adds Bluetooth; a navigation system is also available.
For tailgaters, the good news is that all trims include a trunk under the bed that can also be used as an ice chest.
New this year is the inclusion of a rear-view camera across all levels of trim, which is an attempt to alleviate the Ridgeline’s noted visibility problems, especially when parking. Some feel a blind-spot monitoring system would be a welcome addition.
Frankly, the Ridgeline has never been a huge hit with critics or consumers. With its low gas mileage (15 mpg city/21 highway), freakish looks and not-quite-full-size truck bed (it's only 5 feet long), the Ridgeline has stiff competition in Ford's F-150 and GMC's Sierra.
But the Ridgeline does get points for its handling, which is more akin to that of a passenger vehicle than a truck. And there are those who enjoy the convenience of a small flatbed and the comfort of an SUV, especially when going camping with the ATV, as depicted in the Honda brochure. The vehicle can hold up to 1,550 pounds of payload and tow up to 5,000, which is not too shabby.
Safety features include stability and traction control, dual-stage front, front side, and side curtain airbags, and LATCH anchors for child seats. The 2012 model was a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, receiving the highest possible score in all areas, and the new version should fare just as well.

I was looking at the Ram 1500, Chevy Avalanche, and Honda Ridgeline. I had test driven a Ram the same day and really liked it but it had some warning lights come on while I was driving it. I told the guy I wanted to look at the Honda because it would be easier for my wife to get into. I had my mechanic with me. He had looked them both over and said for the money, the Honda is in immaculate shape. It rides like a dream. There isnt any body roll. It has a storage trunk in the bed that a 200 lb person could fit into. Some of the controls are large and clunky while others are much smaller and diffito to read. The only big flaws is that the bed isnt very deep and it is only 5 ft long. Apr 04, 2024

The options include so many ice amenities. Swing gate, storage well, large behind the seat storage, Honda reliability! The ride beats any truck that I’ve ever ridden in. Very happy with this “NART”. “Not A Real Truck”. The closest thing I’ve found to an El Camino. Aug 21, 2023

Have had a 2011 Ridgeline - bought a 2013 Ridgeline, Sport edition. Was disappointed in loss of several nice features - no heated seats, no compass in rear view mirror, no outdoor thermometer. heating/ac controls more basic. All these had been on the 2011 edition.Nov 08, 2021

I took the car to the Honda Dealership in Sacramento for a pre-purchase inspection and they found over thirteen items that needed to be fixed on the vehicle, broken front engine mount, bent sub frame driver side, needs new timing belt package, broken third brake light, no spare tire or tools to change the tire, bushings need replacing, air conditioning needed to be fixed not as cold as it could be, the power outlet in the cab was not working, cabin filter needs replacing, back seat was frozen and not able to move, the list went on, ball park cost for repairs was $4,300.00. Quite costly and the used car dealership couldnt believe that his mechanic missed it. I suggested hiring a new mechanic as the one they have is clearly not doing a good job in finding and repairing important items. Dont buy this car. Jun 29, 2020

I like the older model Honda Ridgelines before they switched over to putting a truck bed on a Honda Pilot and calling it a truck. Apr 24, 2020

Awesome ride and handling; roomy and comfortable cabin; dent-resistant, no rust, bed with an extremely useful trunk compartment and two-way tailgate. Backseat flips up to help haul extra tall items in the cab including my dogs. Cons: towing and power are lackluster but meet all of my needs (windsurf trailer, lawn maintenance trailer). Oct 19, 2014
