2011 Honda Ridgeline RTL

The Ridgeline is Honda's unibody pickup, a truck that trades traditional body-on-frame toughness for a smoother, more car-like ride. It drives more like a large SUV than a truck, with composed handling and a comfortable ride that makes daily driving pleasant. Inside, the cabin is roomy and practical, with a clever in-bed trunk and a tailgate that swings open like a door or drops down like a traditional one. Some owners note the brakes wear quicker than expected, and the spare tire is awkward to reach when you need it. The RTL is the top trim for buyers who want leather upholstery and a power moonroof, while the RTS skips those extras. Its 3.5L V6 makes 250 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, delivering 17 mpg combined.
