The Ridgeline runs on regular unleaded gasoline. EPA figures list about 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 17 combined, with a 22-gallon fuel tank. Actual range depends on load, towing, and driving style.
Service follows the Maintenance Minder display, which tracks oil life and signals codes for items like tire rotation, filters, and fluid changes. The engine uses a timing belt that needs replacement at higher mileage intervals along with related inspections. Brake fluid is replaced every few years independent of mileage.
Safety equipment is comprehensive and standard across trims. It includes multiple airbags, vehicle stability assist, anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, tire pressure monitoring, and child seat anchors. Crash tests earned top marks in frontal and side evaluations from NHTSA plus Good ratings from IIHS for moderate overlap and side impacts. The rigid unit-body with closed-box frame aids protection.
Keeping the truck means following the minder for routine care and watching fluids for the VTM-4 system and transmission, especially if towing. The composite bed resists dents and corrosion. Regular checks of suspension and brakes keep the car-like handling intact over time.
