Used Ridgeline: generations and model years
Used Ridgelines for sale span 4 generations in CarWhere's data, with the Ridgeline, second generation (2017–present) on sale new. Knowing which generation a listing belongs to tells you which engines, recalls and known issues apply.
Ridgeline, second generation (2026 model year) · 2017–presentCurrent
The current Ridgeline is AWD-only with one powertrain, so trims differ by equipment. Sport is the base trim, RTL adds leather, power seats and a moonroof, TrailSport adds off-road suspension, all-terrain tires and navigation, and Black Edition adds ventilated seats, premium audio and a bed power outlet. Every trim has the In-Bed Trunk and dual-action tailgate.
Ridgeline, second generation at launch (2017 model year) · 2017–present
The 2017 Ridgeline launched with a 280-hp V6, 6-speed automatic, and a choice of front-wheel drive or AWD on most trims. RTL-E and Black Edition were AWD-only. In the launch lineup, Honda Sensing driver-assist features came only on the RTL-E and Black Edition, a key detail when shopping a 2017–2019 truck used.
Ridgeline, first generation (2013 model year) · 2006–2014
Every first-generation Ridgeline has a 3.5L V6, 5-speed automatic, VTM-4 four-wheel drive with a locking rear differential, and a 5,000-lb tow rating. By 2013 the lineup ran RT, Sport, RTS and RTL, with navigation offered on the RTL. Honda did not sell a 2015 or 2016 Ridgeline.
Ridgeline, first generation at launch (2006 model year) · 2006–2014
The original Ridgeline launched for 2006 in RT, RTS and RTL trims, all with the V6, 5-speed automatic and VTM-4 four-wheel drive. Honda’s press kit lists 247 hp and 245 lb-ft in its specification table, though its body text quotes 255 hp and 252 lb-ft.
Years to avoid, best years and known issues
Before you shortlist a used Ridgeline, check its model year against CarWhere's reliability research and the known issues for its generation.
What to check before buying a used Ridgeline
- Run the VIN for title brands (salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon buyback), odometer history and reported accidents before you go see it.
- Check the VIN for open safety recalls and confirm the dealer will complete any open campaign before delivery.
- Decode the VIN or pull the build sheet to confirm the engine, drivetrain, trim and options match the listing.
- Inspect the frame, bed and hitch for rust, weld repairs and heavy-towing wear; check the receiver and wiring harness.
- If it was used for towing, look for transmission fluid that is dark or smells burnt, and ask whether it had a factory tow package.
- On 4x4 models, engage four-wheel drive (high and low) on the test drive and listen for clunks from the transfer case and axles.
- Get an independent pre-purchase inspection — especially for suspension, brakes, tires and any fluid leaks.
- Ask for service records, and confirm how much factory warranty is left from the original in-service date.
- Negotiate the vehicle price first, then fees; refuse dealer add-ons you did not ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I pay for a Ridgeline?
On a new Ridgeline, verified CarWhere buyers paid a median 6.6% below MSRP — about $3,000 — across 16 deals (Jan 2026–May 2026). The middle half paid between 6% and 8.6% off. Use that as your benchmark: a discount off MSRP measured before rebates, with no dealer add-ons. A used Ridgeline's price depends on year, mileage and condition, so compare several listings near you before you make an offer.
When is the best time to buy a Ridgeline?
CarWhere's best-time research finds that new-car discounts have historically been largest from October through December, and January is strongest for used cars. But the seasonal edge is small: average discounts in CarWhere's verified deals move by only a point or two between periods. That's narrower than the spread between Ridgeline buyers themselves: the middle half paid between 6% and 8.6% off MSRP. Negotiation matters more than the calendar.
Should I buy a new or used Ridgeline?
New gets you the current Ridgeline, second generation Ridgeline (2017–present) with a full factory warranty, from $40,795 MSRP. Verified buyers paid a median 6.6% off. Used, the main alternative is the Ridgeline, second generation at launch (2017–present), and 2 older generations go back to 2006–2014. Before you buy a used one, check the years to avoid and known issues by generation, and run the VIN for title and accident history.
