I could care less about B.O.F. “advantages,” it’s an ancient design. The second generation Honda Ridgeline has one strength and one weakness when comparing bedsize. It’s the only mid-size pickup that can fit 4×8 sheets flat in its bed. That’s a pretty big deal. All the rest of the truck makers try to force you into buying their full-size trucks for this privilege. The negative point is that the bed isn’t even 18″ tall. As a woodworker, I don’t need the height as much as the width. The Ridgeline is also fast, holds the road well with its torque-vectoring AWD, and gets decent gas mileage. It tows 5,000 lbs. max, which is another negative. But I don’t tow anything. I’ve owned two Tacos, a Tundra, a Nissan and a Mitsubishi truck. The trucks I liked the least were the
Tacos. The Tundra was the one I liked second best. The Honda Ridgeline is hands down my favorite. Some dudes need a full-fledged work truck like the Silverado and the F-150. But mid-size truck buyers should at least be considering the Honda.
