2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E

The Ridgeline is Honda's pickup, a unibody truck that drives more like an SUV than a traditional body-on-frame hauler. On the road it feels car-like, with composed handling and a quiet cabin that makes long trips easy. The bed's dual-action tailgate and in-bed trunk are genuinely handy, and the rear seats fold up for a big, flat load floor. Some owners mention the infotainment system can be finicky, and a few have noted the radio presets reset now and then. The RTL-E is the one to pick if you want the Ridgeline's best tech and comfort, adding leather seats and navigation over the RTL. Its 3.5L V6 makes 280 horsepower and pairs with a all-wheel drive six-speed automatic, good for 21 mpg combined and a 5,000-pound tow rating. Only the RTL-E comes with a built-in 115-volt bed outlet and automatic LED headlights, small upgrades that make everyday use nicer.
