Ridgeline

The Honda Ridgeline caters to shoppers who want a more comfortable alternative to conventional—read, "trucky"—mid-size, body-on-frame pickup trucks. Essentially a mid-size SUV with a pickup bed out back, it's carlike in its driving behavior, offering a pleasant ride and reasonably agile handling to go along with its ability to cart large, bulky objects. There’s not a lot of choice here—every model comes with a 5.3-foot bed, four doors, five seats, and a 280-hp V-6—but shoppers can alter the aesthetics a bit via four trim levels.
