    I'll probably catch shit for this but here it goes. I owned a '07 Ridgeline with a spacer lift and all terrain tires and it was capabable of what I put it through.

    Ridgelines are nice vehicles, but they're not trucks, IMO. BUT, if my wife wanted a truck I would get her a Ridgeline. They're very capable, reliable, and smart.

    If my wife wanted one she would get one. They are just not for me. I wanted a Yota truck most of my life and love my 2nd gen. So much so my wife teases me about it

    Anyone else notice there just aren't any newer Ridgelines around? I have literally only seen one single (newer '17-'18) Ridgeline here in the entire SF Bay Area. Nobody seems to want 'em here.

    Thank @Cuffs, she's the one that posted the link. Check out the reviews on the Fagor. I never heard of it, but apparently it is a big name overseas.

    They’re around just not as noticeable since they took off that slope between the cab and bed.

    What about the Comanche XJ? not a truck? Was a uni-body yet still not a truck?

    I think the biggest failure of the Ridgeline is not the looks, but the price. It's way too expensive to justify buying considering you start getting into other trucks from the big three which likely have incentives. My local dealer does not have any base Ridgelines, because they know everyone is going to want AWD, but there's the catch it's well over $38k plus for AWD in my area.

    The separation between the bed and the cab only cosmetic? I haven't seen any in person, so I honestly don't know.
    If there's no separation. It's not a truck, and that's just my opinion.
    Honda loves thier vehicles more than Toyota

    Unibody and independent rear suspension with low hauling capacity are my issues with calling a truck. Don't take it personal, that's just my opinion.

    Naw I have an eye for stuff like this and to me the Ridgeline is a trip so I'd spot one.

    They are pretty recognizeable. In my area i can count on one hand how many i have seen out in the wild. Just not a popular vehicle here in the concrete jungle of LA.

    By definition a "pickup truck" is an enclosed cab with open cargo area with low sides and a tailgate.
