Honda Ridgeline

I like the Ridgeline. I wasn't a fan until I was at the dealer and hopped in one. Comfy and well designed. I agree, a V8 would be nice, but for what it's intended for, it's not needed. If I had a wife and kids (dodged that bullet!), I would get one over anything else.

gas mileage is comparable to other CC 4wd v6 trucks out there.

define a 'real truck'. I bet your definition has something to do with body on frame construction, live axle suspension, and a bunch of leaf springs.

is the Ridgeline a SuperDuty Ford or HD GM truck competitor?...NO. it was meant to be an in between comprimise for folks that don't require massive amounts of towing capacity (5000# isn't bad though) or payload (1550#iirc). Is the truck for everybody?...NO. But for the people that want/need what it was built for it works very well.

Honestly the full on trucks lately have made leaps and bounds beyond that of a 99 Chevy 1500. And with the higher ratio auto transmissions and trucks like gm's have MDS capabilities the mpg on a full size gas truck has come a long way as well.

I understand the point of the Ridgeline but still find it poorly executed at best.
Yes ive driven them. Honestly just give me a basic tundra,F150,1500 over it. Especially any of the latest versions. (sorry not a ram fan).
