- Honda Ridgeline Wow, I was surprised to see how many miles were in this Honda Truck. in this video, I will be showing you the condition that this 2008 Honda Ridgeline is in. After 300,000+ miles in this Ridgeline, the truck looks in pretty good shape. The body was in good condition, other than some peeling paint, and some sun damage on top of the roof. The frame looked in close to perfect condition, with very minor rust. The engine was also in decent condition, I wasn't expecting to run at all since this car come without a battery. When I picked up this car I had no idea if it was going to start, but to my surprise, it did. Overall this 2008 Honda Ridgeline best year look in awesome condition for the year and mileage. I would like to thank you for watching! Please Subscribe to the channel.

#HondaRidgeline, #Honda, #Reliabletruck - Auta a dopravnĂ prostĆedky
I have basically this same truck, an 06 RTL with 223,000 miles on the clock. Runs great, uses zero oil and shifts as smooth as the day it was bought new. These things are about indestructible!
My 2006 RL just turned 242K miles today. Runs perfect. I keep trying to justify buying a new truck but I canât when the RL is paid off and runs perfect.
If I may ask, how many miles before you changed the timing belt and water pump? Mine was last done at 175k. I'm currently at 239k. I've anywhere between every 60k and 105k. That's a big gap.
Man that thing is almost half way through its life!
I have a 2009 Honda Ridgeline that I bought off the internet from Southern California with 129,000 miles on it. It was bought and serviced at the same Honda dealer its entire lifetime. I had it shipped to me in Montana since I could not find one locally. It hasn't had 1 problem in 3 years, except those little pulleys for the rear seat supports and the air bag recall. I changed the fluids myself just to make sure. I'll have the break fluid done at Honda this summer before hunting season. Everything works and it's immaculate. It's a lifetime vehicle for me.
Awesome!
How many miles?
@@lh9140 139,000 miles now.
Brutus Gallicus still strong? Nothing showing?
How much did you pay ?
Top off that oil, pop in a dipstick get a battery and call it good. The only people who put down Honda are haters and itâs so obvious why they hatin
True statement!
My neighbor has 750,000 miles on his 07 Ridgeline. He knows nothing about cars. Has his oil and filter changed when the OLM comes on. $29.95 with his coupon plus free car wash. Thatâs exactly what he told me.
most will have the cylinder #4 low compression problem long before then.
And the manual says, just use 87 as nothing higher makes it work any better! Got a 19 and love it!
Very impressive!
Its the frequent washes that have the thing rolling at 750k.
At 0:57 you can see in the far left that someone was kind enough to put when the timing belt was done @ 320k miles on 6/17.
Lol I didnât even notice that. Good eye man!
I just bought a 2008 that had one owner with 164000 miles and the damn thing runs better then my 2015 Altima that has 48000 miles. I am presently surprised.
@kevin Austell The reason I'm watching this video is because I'm considering a RL with 198,000 miles at $8,995 Does this sound a good price to you? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@Kevin Austell May you share how much you pay for yours?
I love honda
Me too!!! Thanks for your comment!
Just bought a 06 gen 1 at 149xxx, its easliy become my favorite after just two weeks of driving it. Seeing videos like this keep popping up just lets me know I made the right choice. Gonna keep up on and keep it running for years to come
Men I just bought a 2006 with 230k miles and for reals it runs like new no issues at all. I love it
My 06 has 314 000 and she purrs!! Lots of life left there
How much did you pay for it Iâm looking @ a 2007 with 250,000
I just got the same one. It ran rough first day but ran it a few days and it smoothed out. I made a good purchase
My Honda grass trimmer I purchased in 2005 is still going strong. Changed the plug twice. Starts first pull . Just bought a 2006 Ridgeline with 188,000 miles on it.
My 2007 Ridgeline has 194,000 on it, no signs of slowing down........tows some pretty heavy stuff just fine đđŒâ€ïž
I just bought a 2009 Ridgeline with 235k body in very good condition AWD for 5k. I love the truck.
Awesome man!
Yeah I have a 2019 Ridgeline same engine I love it only 9800 miles on it
I have 07 Honda Ridgeline this coming up year make 2 yrs since I had it. Bought the truck from a dealer auction for 5,000 wit 150,000 miles on it had the truck on the road for 6 months and the transmission went. So I had the transmission rebuilt for 2,000 & just recently took my vehicle back to the place that did my transmission bc 7 months later it started acting up again luckily it was under warranty for a year. I wanted one of these trucks for yrs now & now I got one & it's giving me nothing but problems. Hopefully after they get this transmission right I'll be more satisfied with it.
Nice to see it still running with that many miles. It is a Honda is disappoint my 2003 Honda Odyssey has 273,000 miles and still runs. Iâm thinking about buying one of these. Subscribed!
A little shy of 150K on my 2007 RTL, though it is no where near as rough as this one. The main watch-out is the radiator issue, but had the radiator replaced a couple of weeks ago without experiencing the transmission fluid / coolant mixture. These really are great trucks! Fully expect it to run for years, as I put a little shy of 500K on a 1992 Accord with no issues. Of course timing belts, and keeping regular service intervals is key.
Just bought a nearly identical 08 with 153k miles for 6k (current 10k value) just to do some dirty stuff now and then. One owner, well-maintained, was able to get it instead of owner giving it away for 4000 trade in toward new Ridgeline! This video and the comments really help me feel like I might have just accidentally bought a daily driver vs. a dirty junk runner. Timing was done at 130k! I think maybe I need some hubs/bearings soon, other than that it feels like a new El Camino. Ha!
I was getting tired of now âsitting downâ into my 4th sedan in 20 years and was seriously considering a BMW X5. But the expenses shied me away from bmwâs yet again. Iâve been warned a million times to stay very far away from a high mileage bmw. Iâm now on my 2nd Honda Accord since 2009, and they are spectacular cars!!đđđ„đ„
I just want to sit up a little higher these days. And after watching you start this bomber Ridgeline with such high miles, this has to be one of the most impressive videos Iâve ever seen. The X5 and Ridgeline were my top picks for the $12,000 mark. I absolutely love this truck after watching loads of CZcams videos. Thanks for posting!
That means a lot!! Thanks đđ»
KarFix your welcome
BMW Bring My Wallet. Stay far away unless you lease. Same for Mercedes.
I just bought a 2007 rtl with 104,000 miles This thing is like brand new!!!!
I bought my 06 Ridgeline in 2015 with 114k. I have 140k+ now and was thinking of selling it because of the known # 4 cyl issue. After seeing this video, I may just keep it
My 2013 Ridgeline sport just turned 100,000 miles goes as good as the day I got it Iâm the only owner since new great trucks they just go and go forever
Bought a 2009 with 226k from my neighbor last year for 1300$. New tires and fluids. I love this truck. Sold my 2021 f150 i had just bought since i never drove it after buying the ridgeline. I also have a 2019 accord hybrid 60k miles with no issues.
Great vid , i have a 2007 wit 250 k .đđČđœ
Just bought a 2013 with 39k miles on it :-o
đ€ nice!!
Good video, thanks.
Thanks, it means a lot!
06 ridgline. 330,325km and counting! Still going strong đȘ
These are excellent trucks!
Looking to get one.
What advice yâall got ?
What should I look out for ?
I have 2011 now and had 06 before. Sold 06 at 150,000miles. 06: had to change brake calipers, hood opening cable, front cat converter and oxygen sensor, and AC went so I traded in. 11: so far I had to change brake calipers, starter motor and thatâs all so far at 130,000 miles.
Nice! Thatâs normal stuff. đ
I own a â21 Sport and hope to keep it 300k miles. Iâm a Toyota guy but really like this Honda.
Impressive
Ridgeline's are helleciou
I bought an 07 a year ago with 112k miles 1 owner I keep telling people this car is brand new and they look at me funny đ. Also these cars are so cheap on offer up! Perfect truck to have if you need a daily for anything simple Honda ftw
Thanks for this video! After seeing this video I feel better about my purchase of a 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL. I have always liked Honda's and have owned several but the Ridgeline was beyond my wallet capacity LOL. It has 103,200 miles on it and the red paint still looks glossy and drives better than my 2011 Taco PreRunner. Plus! it is AWD/4x4. If anyone has any suggestions or issues I need to check out on this truck please let me know.
Taliban Hunter when your check engine light eventually comes on with a 420 or 430 code, Iâll bet you itâs just a bad o2 sensor, and not the catalytic converter itself. Store this away in your memory and you will thank me later. Also change that timing belt!
@@therivershark Thanks for the heads up, so far no engine light error codes yet but will make a note about what you suggested! Thankfully, part of the purchase agreement was to have the timing belt replaced so i'm good to go as far as that's concerned. The only issue that is more frustrating than non-functional is the Climate Control adjustments only change when I rock the knob back and forth. From what I had read, the entire Auto Air Conditioner Control Unit. Is that correct or could the knob connection is worn out and needs to be replaced?
Taliban Hunter sorry, I havenât encountered the climate controls problem yet.
@@therivershark Hopefully you won't! Thanks anyway for the previous advice.
Research the term " STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE " on Honda Ridgeline forums and what part of the radiator to examine . Change ALL the fluids .
Ridgelines have a nice ride and are pretty reliable , I think I'll be hanging on to my 08 after see your truck with 360K miles .
My 2006 has 290,000+ miles and its my daily driver. Will need to fix a/c next summer though
Yr and miles the same 240K driver. Just fixed the A/C , new battery, reg oil changes!
had you change the timing belt yet?
@@khetly4266 ÉȘ áŽáŽsᎠÊáŽáŽ áŽÊ áŽÉȘáŽÉȘÉŽÉą ÊáŽÊᎠáŽÊáŽÉŽÉąáŽáŽ $950 at the DEALERSHIPâ
Hey I have 400,000 miles on my truck and it looks pretty much the same
Nice!
Yeah and still working like new and 10 x beater shape though
@@ryanegan470 this IS a beater !
when was the last time you change the timing belt?
Hey Hondaâs are good cars I have a 2006 Honda Pilot with 254,000 miles on it original engine and transmission still rides like new I thank the first owner for taking care of it
how often do you do the transmission fluid change?
I did a half trans flush because I had the subframe replaced and lost fluid in the process so 4 qts were replaced I will be changing the transmission fluid soon but only about 4 qts because I donât know if changing it all is a good idea
If you look when you opened the hood, it was marked in plain site when the timing belt was changed..
My 06 just turned 118,000. My neighbor has a 07 Ridgeline and has 750,000 miles. He knows nothing about cars just changes the oil when the OLM comes on. He told me he gets the oil and oil filter for $29.95 at the dealer with the $10.00 coupon. Comes with free car wash. HA.
I just got a 2012 with 198000 miles on it hope it lasts
I love my 2004 Rdgeline with 97,000 miles. I guess it's got a lot more to go!
I hope my 2017 proves to be as durable!
Got a 2006 in silver with 152k miles
I have one right now with 233 . Run mint
Nice !!!!
My 2006 Honda Ridgeline has 150,000!
think Iâm keep mine for a while.
Google: Been Testing Oil LS1. Read about adding Marine outboard two cycle oil to your gasoline every time you get gas. Iâve been doing this for years. Works great.
I Have a 2007 with only 141000 on it. I bought it cause my buddy has the same one with 325000 on it now with no problems. Paid 12,000 for it 2 yrs ago. it is having a slight hesitation when stepping on the gas so going to change the fuel filter and see if that helps
If that doesn't work check out your acellorator pedal position sensor
I have a 2010 Pilot with 240k. This gives me hope.
362,467 miles â06 J35A9
love the j35a9 lots... people need to start to make turbo kits for them
On;y downside is these have a timing belt though which is strange for a v6 engine
Mine is 2013 sport has 160000 miles on it
I do 90% of the maintenance myself the car runs better than when I first bought it no lie
My best investment ever
These trucks do last a fucking long time. My 2006 Ridgeline currently has 215,000 miles on it and it still runs like new.
I just got a 2006 with 266k for $4550. The Ridgelineâs with 100k-200k miles were all rusted, loose control arms, bone dry radiators, super rich fuel readings⊠The one I have has no rust, new tires, ice cold A/C, cranks, rides and turns smooth and only needed a new valve cover gasket. I want to get her to 500k.
Very nice!
@@Karfix She drove 96 miles in the rain with no issues. The âTPMSâ light came on but it looks busted since all the tires were of good health.
Well I sure hope that the timing BELT has been changed at least 3 times by now......I think it has been run then the Grand Cayon a few times in its life.
You crazy that thing will go for another 300 if you keep up maintaining oils. That engine is tried and tested for years. My ridgeline has 314 000 and she purrsssss
Correct me if I am wrong but is that what a flood car looks like? I heard that they were taking cars that were in those floods and shipping them West in the US.
đ maybe... it still runs tho.
352000km, works great. how often for timing belt change? new to me had for 1 year.
every 100,00 miles
its a honda, hondas last long
True that.
Except for the 99-04 Odyssey and automatic V6 Accord.
ATX-CVPI I have over 220k miles on my 05 V6 Accord
Mine is at 177k miles. 06 ridge.
I have mine in pristine condition and I have 110,000 miles on it
Nice!!
I am buying my buddies 2007 Ridgeline RTS with 180k miles. Well maintained and I love it. But I keep hearing others talk bad them and saying itâs not a real truck. Has anyone ever had issues towing and playing in the mud with them?
Hi X $4k
Lawrence Schoelhamer I towed my buddies Volkswagen and it handled it like a champ. The truck is good off road and a absolute tank in the snow
Only downside I've heard with these is parts can be hard to find and kind of expensive since they arent as mass produced as some other options. But since it shares the same platform as the pilot, I feel like it would be fine.
Same engine as my wife 06 odyssey on my 09 ridge
Iâve heard Honda Pilot parts go in these except the suspension parts.
i have found one with little over 235000 miles there asking 4,252 should i buy it? look like it in good shape
Yes.. but see if you can talk them down. Good luck!
@xamot80 was that private sale??
It's good to throw a rislone high milage engine restore what shortens life on some of these are plugged up oil ports with high miles so clean motor inside will keep it alive longer
A surprise it says under the hood timing belt change at 320 k
I have a 2004 pilot 243xxx thinking of trading it in for a Ridgeline đ
hahaha my 06 ridgeline has 270,000 and so far beside the oil change and break pads i haven't done anything to it. my friend who is a mechanic at a honda dealer was amazed that i haven't change my timing belt yet. he said usually it need to be change at 100,000 miles and normally it will snap at around 170,000. i guess i will have it change asap. or should i test the water to see when it will snap? :-)
khet Ly I changed it around that time.
Its an interference engine so don't let it snap or goodbye engine.
Found a 06 one for $2000. It also has a dent im the front. Is it worth it?
Take to your mechanic and have him look at it if possible. đđ»
I just bought one 180000 miles. Is there anyway I can check the timing belt as the last owner doesnât know
I would take to a trusted mechanic to help you with that.
I love my Ridgeline. Just wish it had more Torque. Itâs slow as all
Get out. Donât need a race car but man. An extra 50 HP and torque would have been perfect.
Turbo it
Coming from a 4 cylinder tacoma and a 2002 V8 F150, the Ridgeline feels like a rocketship. There are way slower trucks out there
At least youâll get the reliability behind itđ
I test drove a stock 07 Ridgeline yesterday. I'm no racer since I have an 05 base Mini Cooper and use a 2020 Chevy Silverado HD for work, though I wouldn't exactly call either one slow. What I can say is unless your only goal in life is to beat everyone off the line at a stop light (only for them to catch up to you at the next red light lol) then the Ridgeline performs quite admirably in the speed department for what it is.
I'm considering Ridgeline vs. Toyota Tacoma. And MDX Which would you recommend
Honda Ridgeline. Most people pick the Honda over the Toyota Tacoma. Honda has more room. Honda has a real trunk.
Missing oil stick where u said vacuum
My neighbor has over 750,000 on his 07 Honda Ridgeline.
Are you planning on doing a follow up video?
No. The car is sold already.
My 2010 has 200k
I am looking at buying a car with AWD or 4x4 this year, I am debating buying a 2007 Ridgeline with 84,000 miles for 12k I wont be towing anything maybe hauling around furniture and crap every now and then.
Go for it bro! just understand that the bed it has limited space.
@@Karfix ya i wanna save some money but could use an AWD or 4x4 in the winter and I won't need more than the available cargo space.
Tariq Khan ...bought mine brand new in 2008 and have 72,000 miles on her. I live in Michigan and I absolutely - I mean absolutely love her.
Trust me you wonât regret it...I have friends that say...you still got your truck. Yep been paid off for years..
They say omg itâs old and I say....no sheâs just waking up.
sounds just like mine at 120k lol
Yep đđ». This thing sound it great for the miles. Thanks for your comment, means a lot. đđ»
Change the fluids some good synthetic try to get another 80,000 out of it. My 08 has 125,000 literally drives like a brand new rig
My neighbor has 750,000 on his 07 Ridgeline
@@arthursmith643 really? I'm looking into buying an 07 today possibly.
Are these 2006 Ridgelines worth it with 200k used?
They are worth it!
I have a 2010 Kia soul daily driver with $370,000 MI and my engine is quiet no ticking or clunking
Nice. Thanks for your comment
That was funny
I have one with 242k. Runs fine, just eats up o2 sensors.
therivershark Try a valve adjustment and that might fix it.
The Honda J series V6 is bullet proof
325,000 on my 2006
Impressive - what routine maintenance have you done consistently?
So wud u fellas say buying a 2006 ridgeline rtx b worth paying 6000 fir it. It has,160,000 miles
Thatâs reasonable price.
Same situation...I found a really clean 06 but w/166k for $6400
I literally just bought one today, 4200 for 150k miles
I just bought an 06 with only 74k original miles and I paid $9,200.It was a private sale, interior is 9/10 esterior is 8/10 do you guys think it was a good deal?
Hi fellas I had 2006 Ridgeline at 102k in great condition , unfortunately it got totaled while it was parked.I found 2013 Ridgeline for sale advertise at 183k,in really good condition,put down $600.Dealer asking $14,900.Found out that it has 233k, dealership lied.So what should I do?Should I ask back for my down payment,or after listening to you guys ,demand reduced price and keep it ,it's fully loaded originally Florida and NY car and 2 owners
Thats no vacuum line port smoking, that's where the oil DIPSTICK goes!!!!!
Thanks man lol đ I had no idea... your comment mean a lot to us.
My 06â has 310000 miles. Still running strong!
Did you ever figured out what caused that smoke?
Nope
Thatâs where the dipstick is meant to be inserted.
Give an update video of this 360,625 Ridgeline, waiting to see the first 400,000 plus video. There are none so far.
Man unfortunately I sold that Ridgeline.
Mine 2006, 200,000 miles, works like swiss watch.
Nice! Something about Hondaâs bro.
KarFix Yeah, very reliable truck.
And Iâm hauling and towing, using for work.
Iâm thinking of buying a high milage Ridgeline. Would you drive a Ridgeline from 200,000 miles to 300,000?
Definitely mine has 170,000 miles and runs like an absolute champ. The guy who sold it to me keeps saying he wants to buy it back đ

Sure... if your mechanic says so lol đ

@@ramboballer869 what I'm saying is if you are spending 3k on a vehicle, if you are not a mechanic or understand about it, you should probably bring to your mechanic, and check the vehicle before you buy it. Thats all.
KarFix true
Looks like same engine as the odyssey
Maybe
360k miles she is barely broken in đđ€Ł
Gallon of Seafoam and Lucas oil treatment a d she will be all new again.
why you no fix you small truck is good car
Sold it!
