Add the optional features from Ridgeline into a Taco and you will have tGOAT midsized truck
Taco needs to improve it's cabin design.
I don't know if GM can match those features in the Colorado/Canyon. GM seems to be a laggard especially in terms of the latest safety features.
I own a mansized truck and would love to have an in-bed trunk

Either the bed isn't as deep or the spare is in a fricked location.
As much as I hate dodge, the ram box is the best bed storage unit

What a joke. Nothing but a chopped off mini-van... Trucks don't have independent rear suspension and uni-body chassis.

But the switch to a unibody frame gives it a superior ride. Guys who use their trucks as mostly a commuter vehicle would appreciate it I guess...
Boom. If it doesn't have a frame it won't ever be able to serve as a real truck. If what you want is a car with a bed for hauling yard plants and fertilizer on Sat while getting good mpg Mon - Fri this is your tru .... vehicle (crossover??)

You okay with giving up fuel tank capacity, full sized spare, and differential strength?

I actually like the old cabin design over the newer one. I like simple dashes and cabs in trucks. Just me though.

No. I am just playing Devil's Advocate on this one. I wouldn't buy a Ridgeline.

You truck snob guys are funny

That in bed trunk is pretty sweet

I would have absolutely no problem with it. Specs meet any of my needs and I trust Honda...but that thing is ugly AF.

Love my Ridgeline, perfect for the suburbanite.

I would bet the majority of truck owners really only need a "commuter" truck for what they do.
I think we've found a 2016 Ridgeline driver.
nope full size here (and i do need it). but i wish i could own a mid size truck....they're much easier to drive around town and you've still got the bed to throw all your crap in.

The exterior of the Ridgeline is so freaking ugly.

Yea, I'm sure you do. Why don't you just drive a midsize and use a trailer when you need the extra capacity? Or better yet, just rent a heavy duty on teh rare occasion you need it?
Does that sound ridiculous? Because that's how you sound in this thread.

A good pair of truck nuts make a world of difference.

Nice civic interior.
quote:The 2016 Ridgeline towing capacity is 5,000 lbs when equipped with AWD.
also, the old ridgeline had a 5000lb tow rating...so looks like they cut back on that.
FWIW I'd go Tacoma all day before Ridgeline. That's just me.

A front wheel drive truck. Think about that for a second, a front wheel drive truck.

How often do you really do it? If you did a cost analysis, it likely is cheaper.
Regardless, the point seems to have gone right over your head.
