Over the years there have been countless rumours of other manufacturers coming up with a direct competitor to the Ridgeline, but the sort-of pickup remains, for now, utterly unique. Perhaps its biggest quality is that it provides a certain amount of practicality for those who transport things around now and then, while remaining a serviceable family-vehicle option. CR also likes the bed, which makes up in versatility for what it lacks in raw cargo capacity.

Other selling points include the slick and powerful engine, decent fuel economy and a comfortable ride.
