Both.

Just a couple points:

The problem here is that Honda isn’t worried about Ridgeline sales. They are just a line filler for Honda, and they are happy selling 40k/yr, because that is about all they can build when Pilot demand is so high, nets more profit, and takes up Ridgeline space at the plant. Honda has stated time and again that they are…

It gets poor MPG because of the full-time AWD. If you live in snow country, this is a huge asset over your typical 4wd truck (think driving down the highway with patchy ice and snow cover).

Longer lumber is easy in the Ridgeline. Open the back window, rest one end of the lumber on the back seat (put a towel over the seat to keep it nice) and rest the other end on the top of the tailgate. Strap it down good with several of the eight tie-downs, and you’re good to go. Tie some orange flagging to it if it…

There is a guy over on the ROC that hauled a yard of bull rock home in the bed of his Ridgeline. That’s probably north of 2500lbs.

Why, exactly, does the Chicken Tax still exist? At first glance, one would think it was due to Trump’s FART (Fair And Reasonable Trade) policy. Although his farts aren’t doing the CT any favors, it’s had decades to be banned before the present defunct administration.  Is it due to UAW lobbyists?

They they don’t sell many because they don’t build many. It shares plant space with Pilot and Odyssey, which are both higher priority for Honda.  The Ridgeline is just a line filler.

The Ridgeline looks funny because it’s got the same sheet metal as the Pilot. If it weren’t for the Pilot, we wouldn’t have the Ridgeline at all.  You have to take the bad with the good.

Didn’t i see that in the Red 2 movie?

Remember that Honda Civic commercial from the 1970s where they asked, “What if everyone drove a Civic?”?

I like Jeep, but if they keep Roxor out of the U.S., then they are dead to me.

Ok, Jaguars aren’t sleepers, but I’d love to have an e-type with the Civic Type-R engine. Or even that new straight six that Merc has...

Rotary valves (plates) would be better, but i haven’t seen or heard of any prototypes.

There is a certain elegance to simplicity.

Yeah, the newer ones get 4-5mpg better, which is a huge jump when you think about it. It would probably get 18 pulling that Basecamp, depending on terrain, elevation, etc.

That’s a nice trailer, but i’d much rather be pulling it with a Ridgeline. More comfortable, better driving experience, trailer well within tow limits, towing mpg will be within a couple of the Ford diesel, and the truck will be OH SO MUCH BETTER than the F150 when the trailer is not hooked up.

If you’re not too concerned about oem parts, you might look at some other makes. In particular, my brother has an ‘87 Dodge W250 with a vinyl bench seat that looks very much like yours (except his is blue), and his has a four-on-the-floor shifter with a long shift handle and two odd bends in it.

He needs a cover for that oven, er...dish.

Well, i saw a dude make a bicycle tire out of a pool noodle, so yeah...
