The switchgear and tech is a generation behind the other Honda stablemates. Maybe a new Ridgeline is due next year, but the interior of the Accord, Civic, CRV and HRV is far more upscale than this Ridgeline. Having said that, I'd still choose the Ridgeline if I needed a pickup. But, I would feel like I bought Hondas' 'adopted child'.

Wide and flat bed, perfect for 4'x8' sheets of anything. Only niggels are 1) stereo is just 'ok'. 2) This is my first automatic vehicle, I am missing my stick...

I bought this exact truck last month, the very first truck I have purchased. I love this truck!. Almost 1,500 in. Love the features and the extra bells and whistles also. This have best drive that I have experienced with a truck. My dad had the 2017 version and it made me want one when I got the chance. The best case scenario when you don’t haul too much and just want a good ride and I’m not looking back to a mid size sedan at all.

My husband kept borrowing my CR-V to transport stuff that wouldn’t fit in the trunk of his sedan. I didn’t enjoy the mess that sometimes made in my vehicle, so when we recently decided it was time to replace my 14 year old car, I got a 2023 Ridgeline RTL with the tonneau package (function+ I think). As a unibody AWD, it is not all that different from driving the crossover/suv I was used to, but the inside of the vehicle stays clean, and the bed hoses out easily. I love the tailgate that opens from the side (I’m short, so it makes it easier for me to reach in the bed) and I love the in-bed trunk. I know people keep saying the interior needs a refresh, but considering that my 2010 CR-V did not even have a backup camera, it’s a big step up for me.

I have a 2007 Ridgeline. It has been great. The interior and mechanical are largely the same. Some of that is fine - it’s a good everyday truck. That said I am a bit lost on why Honda doesn’t go for the jugular on the mid size truck market. Update the interior and make it a bit more plush. Raise the truck 2 inches. Provide a strong hybrid engine mated to the same v6 capable of upper 20’s to possibly 30 mpg and towing max around 7500 lbs. something like this would crush the mid size market. It doesn’t need to articulate on impossible terrain the AWD is great on snow and ice and enough for 90% of typical use.

If they update the Ridgeline with the new Pilot front fascia and interior they are partway there. If they add a Trailsport trim like the Pilot they're even closer. It does kill me a little that they're probably going to stick with the V6 from the Pilot. The big thing that would make most people switch to from a body on frame truck would be the gas mileage (exhibit A, Ford Maverick)
