I've owned a 2006 Ridgeline since 2007. It's a great little truck I'm very happy with it and it's still going strong.
One word of caution though regarding towing. I've been towing a lightweight trailer (2300lb) which is maxing the thing out when you factor in weight of passengers etc in the truck, and the gross weight of the trailer.
Towing certainly is hard on a Ridgeline. I've noticed that the suspension, brakes, steering, and transmission are definitely being pushed hard.
For that reason alone when this thing dies my next truck will be a half ton, maybe even 3/4 ton.
I've never been impressed with the gas mileage, bu that could be a driver issue.
Overall its a great vehicle. Easy to maintain, lots of room, and the bed has no wheel wells so you can lay sheets of plywood/drywall flat no porblem.
I find it much more comfortable and roomy than the Tacoma's.
