Honda Ridgeline
Honda usually marches to the beat of its own drum, and when the time came to create a pickup, it stayed true to this philosophy. Its cargo bed, for example, is fully integrated into the rest of the vehicle. Thanks to an independent rear suspension, there’s a perfectly waterproof In-Bed Trunk under the cargo area floor. The engine is a 3.5L V6 generating 250 horsepower and 247 lbs.-ft. of torque.
