Certified Pre-owned Honda Ridgeline For Sale
Plaza Honda keeps HondaTrue Certified Ridgelines on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue, often low-mileage trucks coming back off lease. On a pickup that gets worked and towed, certification is the difference between hoping it was cared for and knowing it.
What a certified Ridgeline gets you
A certified Ridgeline is HondaTrue, Honda's own factory-backed program, so the coverage comes from the manufacturer rather than the dealer. Every one clears a 182-point inspection by factory-trained technicians and starts with a clean history, no salvage, flood, or odometer problems. The headline is a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the truck's original in-service date, with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage on top, exactly the coverage that matters on a used truck that may have been used like one.

The two certified tiers, compared
| Tier | Typical vehicle | Inspection | Powertrain warranty | Added bumper-to-bumper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HondaTrue Certified+ | Current or previous model year, under 12,000 miles — effectively near-new | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | Up to 5 years / 86,000 miles |
| HondaTrue Certified | Roughly the last five model years, over 12 months / 12,000 miles and under 80,000 miles | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | 2 years added on the original limited warranty, or up to 100,000 miles |
The truck decides the tier, not you: a near-new, low-mileage Ridgeline lands in Certified+, while an older or higher-mileage one that still clears the bar is Certified. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain coverage from the in-service date, a real extension past the original 5-year / 60,000-mile Honda powertrain warranty. Ask which tier a specific Ridgeline qualifies for and we will show you the coverage in writing.
Why certification is worth it on a used truck. A pickup is more likely than a car to have towed, hauled, and worked, so on a regular used Ridgeline the smart-buyer homework is the V6, the 9-speed automatic, the all-wheel-drive system, and any towing wear. A certified Ridgeline has already passed the 182-point inspection with those systems checked and open recalls completed, and the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the drivetrain, the exact parts a working truck stresses, for years past the sale. If you want a used Ridgeline, certified is the version to buy.
Certified versus a regular used Ridgeline
Both sit on the same lot, and the choice comes down to how long you plan to keep the truck. A regular used Ridgeline is the lower price up front, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A certified Ridgeline usually runs on the order of a thousand dollars more, and for that step you add the manufacturer's inspection, the extended powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. On a truck you plan to keep and work, certified tends to pay for itself the first time a covered repair comes up. We will put comparable Ridgelines side by side and show you the gap.
What makes it work here
Beyond the coverage, a certified Ridgeline is the rare pickup that daily-drives comfortably in the city. Its crossover platform gives it a quiet, SUV-like ride and a roomy back seat, standard i-VTM4 all-wheel drive handles New York winters, and the dual-action tailgate and lockable In-Bed Trunk make it genuinely useful, drywall runs, bikes, or wet gear locked away like a cooler. It tows up to 5,000 pounds. One honest note: it is a full crew-cab pickup, so it is long, plan your parking.

Frequently asked questions
What does a certified pre-owned Ridgeline cover?
A 182-point inspection, a clean history, and a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the original in-service date with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a 3-day / 300-mile exchange policy. Open recalls are completed before the truck sells. Exact terms are confirmed on the specific vehicle.
Does certification cover the Ridgeline's drivetrain and towing wear?
The engine, transmission, and all-wheel-drive system are all part of the powertrain, so they fall under the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, exactly the parts a truck that tows and hauls tends to stress. The 182-point inspection also checks these systems before the truck is certified.
What is the difference between HondaTrue Certified and Certified+?
Certified+ is the top tier, for near-new Ridgelines from the current or previous model year with under 12,000 miles. Certified covers older or higher-mileage trucks, roughly the last five model years and under 80,000 miles, that still clear the inspection. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty; the bumper-to-bumper terms differ.
Do certified Ridgelines come with all-wheel drive?
Yes, all of them. Every Ridgeline is built with standard i-VTM4 all-wheel drive, so any certified example has it, along with the standard tow hitch and 5,000-pound tow rating. That makes a certified Ridgeline a straightforward all-weather, light-towing truck.
Is a certified Ridgeline worth it over a regular used one?
On a truck, especially. Because a pickup is more likely to have been worked, the 182-point inspection and the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty carry real value, they cover the drivetrain a working truck stresses. Add roadside assistance and $0-deductible repairs, and certified usually pays for itself if you keep the truck a few years.
When does the certified warranty start?
The powertrain coverage is measured from the truck's original in-service date, meaning when it was first sold new, not the day you buy it. A certified Ridgeline that is a couple of years old still leaves you with several years of powertrain protection.
Can I trade in my current vehicle and finance a certified Ridgeline?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current vehicle whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers the step from a used Ridgeline up to a certified one.
