2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL

The Ridgeline is Honda's unibody pickup, a truck that drives more like an SUV than a traditional body-on-frame hauler. Its independent rear suspension gives it a smooth, car-like ride and composed handling that most pickups can't match. The cabin is quiet and roomy, with comfortable seats and a rear seat that flips up to reveal a large, flat cargo area. The in-bed trunk is a clever, lockable storage spot, and the dual-action tailgate makes loading from the side easier. The RTL is the value pick for buyers who want the Ridgeline's comfort and utility without the Black Edition's dark styling or the Sport's lower equipment level. Its 3.5L V6 makes 280 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, which is plenty for daily driving and returns 22 mpg combined.
