all truck comparisons exist for people who were going to buy one brand of truck anyway to insult other truck owners in the dumb tribal sports-team that truck ownership is

honda ridgelines are exactly what consumer trucks should be (except like 10-20% smaller)

yep. that's why no one buys em.

e: like americans in general, basically every car on the market today would benefit from being 10-20% smaller, too.

you'd love my car. because i am The Ultimate Bachelor, i took out the passenger seat to more easily carry things like groceries and cinder bricks and motorcycly engines. the two rear seats are still there, though, so the person who sits in the passenger-side rear seat gets like 5 feet of legroom. it's like a limousine.

the hans resier trial was so great

dude was on his way to a near certain acquittal until he insisted that he testify on his behalf (because he wanted to dunk on the prosecutor and show him up for the stupid braindead retarded bozo that he was compared to supergenius hans reiser)

reiser is now serving a life sentence

the honda ridgeline is a fwd minivan platform with a couple of braces welded in so it doesn't turn into a pretzel the first time you try to tow something

despite its considerably limited capabilities, it gets worse gas mileage than an actual body-on-frame truck from general motors

edit:

2016 ford f-150 (full size pickup)
19/26 city/hwy mpg

2016 gmc canyon (midsize pickup)
22/31 city/hwy mpg

2017 honda ridgeline (minivan)
19/26 city/hwy mpg

(the ridgeline also costs more than a canyon or an f150!)
