That's probably the first pickup truck that could make sense in a city. I love that extra trunk under the bed. And the interior looks really good. This is way more luxurious (if you can use that word for pickups) than its competitors.

Sometimes I just want to turn the volume down NOW. The touch panel on Hondas is not all that sensitive and the steering wheel controls are slow.

If Honda would at least add a mute button, like on a computer, it would make the touch knob much less of an issue. Because, I agree, sometimes you need to turn the sound off NOW.

American pickup trucks don't make sense. The majority of truck owners are ill-suited to the truck they drive. They buy based on peer pressure or perceived status. It will be interesting to see if this sensible Honda can overcome the appeal of overdoing it on the size of a truck.
@aj.gutierrez
8 жыл бұрын
Unlikely, given they really haven't changed too much from the 1st Generation. The majority of what they added was tech features and it's a little bit bigger. I own a 2012 Ridgeline and it meets my needs perfectly. I got it because I knew I wouldn't be doing too much and I love the Honda reliability I get with it. Whenever I do need to do something big, it meets my needs perfectly. Also since many didn't like the 1st Gen Ridgeline, I like having something you don't see on the road much. Makes it easy when I am out and about to find where I parked, ha! I was really looking forward to the 2nd Gen Ridgeline, but I am underwhelmed, like everyone else. The back looks perfect, but I really don't like how the front shares the looks of the Pilot (although I figured that would happen, given other Hondas that have been coming out). At least the 1st Gen looked unique, even if it shared some skeletal framework as the last Generation Pilot (or two now...). The looks are slowly growing on me, but I will wait to see what Honda does for their mid-cycle refresh. I generally like what Honda does to their current generation vehicles when they give them good facelifts and add additional internal/external features. We shall see what becomes of the Ridgeline in the next few years...

Honda's not trying to overcome the status symbol appeal of GM/Ford pickups. Those buyers know exactly what they want, and that often means burly rather than sensible. Honda is just offering a sensible alternative like they often do. NSX is the sensible supercar, Ridgeline is the sensible pickup truck, and Honda does not expect either of them to sell in huge numbers relative to their segments.

I see hundreds of pick up trucks daily in traffic. It’s always the same thing, just a driver, empty box, but all decked out in off-road visuals. I think Honda is correct with their research, that 95% of truck owners just use it as a daily driver. What a waste. I’m seriously considering the Ridgeline as a third vehicle, light hauling but more of a daily driver. Just patiently waiting for long term test reviews on any problem areas. I’ve previously owned 7 Honda products, 3 Civics, 3 Accords, and a CRV. Pretty good review 👍🇨🇦
