The Ridgeline is the only truck that checks all those "need" boxes. I "need" a truck that's easy to get in and out of (I'm 65), gets decent gas mileage, is relatively easy to maneuver and park, does not swallow my garage, can haul a decent amount of stuff and most importantly can tow close to 5,000#s. They built a vehicle that guys (and gals) like me "need" first of all and then did a great job of giving us a few things we want. Honda is the only manufacturer that has its priorities right in building the Ridgeline. Like most people I don't do any serious off roading, rock crawling or mogul jumping. The other 5% of the time it's used to haul mulch, appliances, furniture, tow a utility trailer with a zero turn mower and about 4 times a year it's called on to tow our 4500# camper. Like most truck owners 95% of the time my truck is used just like a car, as a mode of transportation. The Ranger and Mazdas were underwhelming to say the least whereas the F150 and Tundras were way more truck than I needed. ![]() The Ridgeline by far is the nicest truck I've owned. I have owned a lot of trucks in the past: a Ford Ranger, 2 Mazdas, an F150 and 4 Tundras. After much deliberation and some arm twisting by my wife I purchased a White Diamond Pearl RTL-E.
