I took the Honda Ridgeline out for a test drive, I had it for 6 hours, It was comfortable, for a truck. It not having Low (4x4) means this is a "soccer mom" auto. Althou it has 4x4 it is pretty much for people who get spooked in the snow/bad weather or their cottage is JUST off the beaten path. The nui-body construction meant this is limited to towing od hauling, According to the dealer rep, it has a 4500lbs tow rating (my 1993 Olds 98 has the same rating). It has a 1700lbs payload (according to the dealer rep). Which means if 4 people are in it and there combined weight is 900lbs that means 800lbs in the back, Not that good for a truck. Mind you these are the figures that the dealer gave me. I found the truck to be responsive, but really lagged going up a semi-steep incline. There was lots of storage space in it and it handled the road very well. I found the V-6 to be thristy (I got an avg of 18 mpg were the Avalanche I tested got an average of 21MPG and it is alot heavier with a V-8). The fit and finish I found was good, but there was a rattle in the glove box area, We filled it up and the rattle was alot quieter.

Pretty sweet truck, Custom Grill, chrome running boards, Nimbus Grey color leather interior.
