JUST SAY IT! It's the best handling, best riding and most practical mid size truck on the market. And yes that includes the Tacoma (two big thumbs down for the cramped interior), Frontier, Ranger, Colorado, etc. It's not designed to be a true off road truck but who the hell cares if you don't plan on using it for that purpose. And if you do you're stuck with the incredibly uncomfortable Tacoma. No thanks. I'd rather buy a Gladiator.

I agree about the interior spacing on the Tacoma. I was looking at the TRD Pro. Sat in it and felt so cramped. I’m not a tall guy by any mean. 5’11 185 lbs and felt so claustrophobic in that truck. I don’t even bother looking at the other trucks you mentioned. I’m a Honda guy all the way, but when it comes to trucks, it’s hard to beat Toyotas. But when I sat in the Ridgeline, it was a relief. Very well appointed and comfortable. Ordering a white Black Edition just like this!

Yes it’s literally a good pick up truck. It’s just the Honda Badge that prevents it from being considered a good truck. I think a mistake Honda made was not making trucks back in the 90s to grow its brand image as one. From what I hear and see the ridge line is just as good as the Tacoma. It’s the amount of truck anyone needs to be honest. Probably the best built one on the market aside from the Tacoma and Tundra.

I bought one about six weeks ago and LOVE IT!! I owned four new Tacoma's from 1998 to 2023. They were all great trucks but I wanted something different this time around. I have always liked the Ridgeline's appearance but had never looked at one close-up. Once I did and took a test-drive, I was sold. In all the years of Tacoma's, I never towed anything and never went off-roading. It's nice to know that I still can, even if there are limits. But then, don't just about ALL things come with some sort of limitations at a point? The comfort, roominess, capabilities and oh the ride are the best for a midsize truck. This is simply the best daily-driver for me and well worth what the price!

Im in the same boat as you - actually have a 2019 Canyon Denali with 60,000 miles on it. Since the time my Canyon hit 45,000 it has been back to the dealer three times: (1) Heater core failure, electrical problems causing and now the fuel pump/fuel system control module - nearly $5,000 in repairs out of pocket. The saving grace was that my wife wasn't in the passenger seat when heater core blew - had she been her legs would have been scolded very badly by hot coolant. Front carpets also needed to be replaced.

I just traded my 2017 tundra crewmax trd off road for a 2022 ridgeline black edition the exact model in this video, extras including the bed cover and lighted running boards. I absolutely love this truck and Ive always said I’m Toyota for life. New tundra is garbage and tacomas are gutless off road trucks with the most u comfortable ride of all trucks(I’ve owned both so I know). I only need something to haul a dirt bike and occasional truck weekend type hauls. Don’t need a gas guzzling V8 for that lol. These are nice trucks and you get what you pay for. I paid today 52k total including tax for the above mentioned model. I don’t really want the running boards but it came with it so I’ll just take them off. Perfect truck!!!!

Chip shortage aside, Honda build less keeps demand high on these. Been that way for long time.
