Just saw some pics of the 2021 Ridgeline. Also introduces the Honda Performance Development (trim?) aka HPD.

What do y’all make of the new “Tough” look?

It still looks like a normal Ridgeline to me. They just added dirt. I would take a type R Ridgeline though. Lower it with a twin turbo.

Except an El-Camino had a frame under it and was rear wheel drive, the Ridgeline seems much more like a modern four door Dodge Rampage since it was uni-body and front wheel drive based.

The Funky Odyssey Truck got a new face lift... still a unibody so its a no for me.

While we're talking about AWD trucks, has anyone noticed the Jeep Cherokee is 4WD with front wheel default? How does that work? Is that normal?

From what I can tell, that "truck" squats when it takes a pi**.
It probably prefers the pronoun "it."
I think I found its blog website, mostly discussing "mansplaining" and how great microbrew coffee is.
And it will probably make a blog post tonight about why tacomaworld should be banned from the internet.

The squared off exterior styling is a big improvement over the current blob. Still looks too low slung and I always found that odd about the Ridgeline. The current model has something like 7.3" of ground clearance...almost an inch and half less than Subaru's wagons/cuv's. Honda needs to do something about that.
