I've owned several pickup trucks over the past 30 years. The most recent truck I sold was a Ford F350 diesel 4x4 that I used to tow a heavy fifth wheel camper. Each vehicle I've owned was a tool to do a job. I only bought that diesel, for example, because it was big, heavy, and had massive torque. Those are things you want when towing a big trailer and it performed that specific job flawlessly. Because that's what it was designed for. When I wasn't towing the fifth wheel the truck wasn't doing what it was really designed for and it was terrible at everything else. Terrible at driving without a full load due to the stiff suspension, terrible at parking, terrible on forest roads, terrible in the snow, terrible ride quality on bumpy dirt roads, and very expensive to work on when things broke. My Tacoma was far more reliable and easier to park in the city but it rode like a brick too. But hey, it was also a tool that I needed because I wanted to do some hard-core wheeling on the weekends. This truck is regarded by most people as the best off-road pickup there is and with good reason. IF you want to do serious off-roading. I didn't mind the fact that it had a terrible factory stereo, didn't ride very well, had a cramped interior, no storage, somewhat dated looks, (though not as bad as the Frontier), and had a lot of road noise. These days I have ATV's and dirt bikes to go off-road with and the Ridgeline tows my 4,000-pound trailer full of toys like butter thanks to the nearly 300 HP and 9-speed transmission. So now all I care about is having a truck bed to get stuff at the local hardware store once a month (like most people) and one with a quiet interior, a really nice stereo, a plush ride like a Cadillac, great passing power, reliability, and really good gas mileage. All of those boxes were ticked when I test drove the 2020 Ridgeline. I bought this truck after test driving the 2020 Ranger, Colorado, and Tacoma. I felt the Ridgeline interior was substantially wider (it is, by 4") and the overall ride quality and road noise were FAR better than the competition. (no contest) But the truck "trunk" was the number one selling point for me though because I like to carry a lot of gear in the truck and don't want to worry about it getting stolen. We all know thieves will break in if they see any gear in the backseat. They'll also break into truck toolboxes really easily. But most people don't even know the Ridgeline truck trunk exists. It's under the bed by the tailgate, and it's massive. I keep 2 motorcycle helmets, a pair of jackets, 2 pairs of gloves, riding boots, tie-down straps, a hiking backpack full of gear, 4 hiking poles, a tackle box, and 2 fishing rods in that trunk and lock it then close the tailgate. People walk by the truck, see nothing in the bed, nothing in the seats, and move on. Call it a truck, call it a car with a bed, I don't care. I wouldn't attempt to do any serious off-roading in this vehicle but I can say it handles snow and mud on forest roads and mountain trails really well and I've never gotten stuck. As far as what I want from a truck nowadays, there's just nothing else on the road that comes close to this Ridgeline. It does everything it was designed to do VERY well. Do like I did, right before you buy the truck you think you want, test drive the Ridgeline. It will change your mind. That's what happened to me. LOL

Honda figured out that alot of truck owners don't really use a truck like a truck, so they made this. Pretty smart If you ask me.

An SUV wont let me load big or tall items... I just need a good Pick up truck to load some home improvement or gardening materials, load some appliances or furnitures to be moved, carry my bicycle, go to Costco, also COMFORTABLE enough for a long road trip and with good traction and skills for some light off road on outdoor days. I used to have a regular body on frame pick up truck and I know what is driving those, specially unloaded, The Ridgeline is pretty much a great answer for what I need, and surely what many other potential buyers need.... I just could ask Honda to reconsider that pricing scheme and put the base model under the 35k to justify more the extra amenities on the more equipped versions.

4:25 Crashing into an RV...

The design of Ridgeline was better suited to meeting my needs than any other midsize truck. However, it has 2 fatal defects. First it is not an off-road truck, so the standard AWD only adds complexity, decreases fuel economy, and adds $3,000 to the price when compared to the completion. If you live in a snow belt then disregard that comment. Second, it has one of the last remaining interference timing belt engines. Apparently, Honda has no problem saving $10-15 per vehicle when they know every customer will spend $1,000 between 60,000 and 100,000 miles to change the timing belt and water pump. And the HPD package is more than a $3,000 option for some graphics and tire package. Try buying a Ridgeline for less than $40,000.

The Big black fender flares are optional. I am getting a 2021 Ridgeline this week without the fender flares.

@@Jeff-or6em I've driven a Ranger, felt spacious to me at 6'1. Didn't drive like a bouncy old truck either. Any benefits of this Ridgeline seems negligible at best, and that's coming from a Honda enthusiast. Give me the Ranger any day.

Really, it's the headlights. They match the cars, thus it doesn't look like a truck. They should have done what Nissan just did for the frontier - make it look like a truck, and not like the rest of the Nissan line... Design fail... Also, no stick... truck fail...

if you want win Honda make a body on frame compact truck with off road capability

2800 bucks for some decals and wheels. Bad idea Honda

Yikes! Please don't do that your only truckish entry!

9 speed transmission kills if for me.

Drummy you dummy . It’s an option. You can get the truck without the flares

I mean, honestly, GM has gone down, I’d go for a Honda or Toyota, something actually reliable, for midsize trucks, I’d go for either the Tacoma or Ridgeline.

@@GlennC789 I guess I'd need to drive one to see if it truly feels car-like versus a real truck, but I drive Chevy Colorado crew cabs almost daily for work, and they ride very smoothly to me (although I hate GM lol)... So maybe there's a benefit in the driving experience of these, but if I were even remotely in the pickup market I just can't see myself buying this over something like a Colorado or Ranger for the same price or less.

You can't put a fridge and a 80 gal compressor standing up, a front subframe of 60s car, among other things that you can't on a hatchback lol. No need for a full size or lifted 4x4.

Lol Ford “here is our 430HP and 570FT/Lbs 3.5L twin turbo Hybrid V6 that gets 25 mpg combined.” Honda here is our J35 3.5L V6 that can trace its linage back to a 23 year old Honda Odyssey.
