Okay, the Ridgeline EX-L NAVI is the most expensive of the bunch. However, only the Dakota is also available with a navigation system, while the Equator isn’t as well equipped and doesn’t offer leather seats. As for the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series, they are smaller, less expensive, don’t offer crew cabs and are much, much less modern.
Conclusion
Die-hard pickup truck lovers might dismiss the Ridgeline as a sissy truck that isn’t nearly as capable as the others, but that’s quite untrue. For a light-duty pickup, the Honda will accomplish the job it’s asked to do without fuss.
But like with most small pickups, the Ridgeline costs as much as a full-size Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge Ram or Ford F-150. They might consume more fuel, but are more capable and are generally considered as better suited for commercial duty.
Of course, you have to like the truck’s look. If you don’t use your pickup for work, however, the Ridgeline can satisfy the needs of everyone.
