Drove E'm All - Ridgeline Wins, Hands Down
This little truck is perfect for my needs. While its not the brawny-ist of the small truck crowd, In my opinion It's the best all-around small truck. It meets my needs for towing and hauling. It surpasses my needs in all other categories (comfort, performance, features, ride, usefulness, size, etc.). This is a well built, high quality vehicle with lots of innovative features. Based on honda quality and durability, I expect many years of use. Watch out, if you drive one, you'll be hard pressed not to buy it. Update 5/2020 - Have owned the vehicle for bout 2 years now. Only oil changes and gas. Vehicle has been rock-solid.

Best Mid Size Pickup
This is the best mid sized pickup on the market. It drives like a sedan and has superior finish (inside and out) to competitors. I compared to Nissan, Chevy, GMC, Ford (F150), Ram, and Jeep Cherokee / Grand Cherokee. This vehicle outperforms them all and has better features and creature comforts and gas mileage by far. If you are looking for a hardcore work truck consider a full size, but if you want a very upscale vehicle with truck capabilities do yourself a favor and check out the Honda. I even comes with a trunk/cooler and stereo built into the truck bed for tailgating. This truck also has better visibility and a far smoother ride than the others. I got the top of the line Black Edition AWD and love it.

2018 Tailgate does not lock
We retired and I bought this truck to carry luggage and other necessities as we travel around. After having a bed cover installed, we discovered the two way tail-gate does not lock. Even the Honda dealer did not know this when we brought it in for repairs. In talking with American Honda HQ we are told that this was a business decision and there was no recourse. We would never have purchased this truck if we had known the tailgate did not lock and was designed that way. Let this be a warning to anyone thinking about buying this 2018 Honda Ridgeline. There is apparently an aftermarket solution that costs between $150-200.00 that requires a minimum of 2.5 hours installation. Honda dealers will not do the installation. This is so unlike Honda to leave a customer out on the limb. I have owned at least 6 or 7 Honda or Acura vehicles in the last 15 years and have never seen anything like this. I do plan to contact Consumer Rights on this one.

Love my Ridgeline_form & function!
As other reviews have stated, if you need to do heavy duty hauling and towing, this probably isn't the truck for you. However, if you're looking for a truck for weekend projects, but you still want the creature comforts of a nice ride on your daily commute, this truck is fantastic. I fall in the latter category, and really fell in love with how this vehicle handles after driving several other trucks. In fact, I had my heart set on a Tacoma until I drove one. Lack of safety features, poor acceleration and squishy handling were all a huge surprise and a huge disappointment. Consumer Reports got this one right, ranking the Ridgeline the #1 mid-size pickup truck: "if people bought pickup trucks on what they ACTUALLY use them for, more people would be driving Ridgelines".
