Honda Ridgeline vs RAM 2500

Honda isn’t known for pickup trucks, but that means it approaches them without any preconceived notions. The 2025 Honda Ridgeline takes a different approach than rivals like the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma with crossover-like unibody construction and clever storage solutions. Having received a few updates for the 2024 model year, the 2025 Ridgeline carries over unchanged.

Verdict: It doesn’t offer the towing capacity or off-road capability of more traditional trucks, but the Ridgeline is much easier to live with.

Big, expensive and hard to park in urban confines, but absolutely necessary for a sizable number of buyers who require their stout powertrains and serious capability, heavy-duty trucks such as the Ram 2500 are designed to work hard.

Verdict: Ram has a solid lineup of trucks for all pickup buyers. From off-road enthusiasts to long-haul truckers towing huge loads from one end of the country to the other, there’s a heavy-duty Ram pickup designed for every need. And if you require the biggest interior with a cargo bed attached, the Ram Mega Cab is the truck you’re looking for.
