Honda Ridgeline
The Ridgeline is the only midsize pickup with a unibody construction, which results in a more SUV-like driving experience but also reduces towing capacity (max. 5,000 lbs). Under the hood is a 3.5-litre V6 engine that produces 280 horsepower through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Model selection includes Sport, Black Edition and TrailSport, the last one aimed at off-road enthusiasts. The versatile 5.3-foot cargo bed features a lockable and weatherproof trunk under the floor.
