25 mpg in a truck? surely not in a full sized Detroit model!
Reliability
it's a Honda, say no more
Cons
Cargo Space
another 6 inches in the bed would be nice
Pros
Cabin Noise
very quiet ride to hear tunes listen to audiobooks or talk on the phone
Fuel Economy
getting between 20/25 mpg for a pickup that’s pretty darn good
Reliability
it’s a Honda enough said!
Cons
Pros
Fuel Economy
It has great fuel economy compared to other midsize trucks. My 2020 Tacoma averaged 18mpg and this averages 26mpg, that's insane.
Technology and Entertainment
The 2017 model came with Apple Carplay and Android auto, that is uncommon in a 2017 model year vehicle.
Cargo Space
The unibody construction allows the floor to be entirely flat in the backseat, there's enough room for 2 full size mountain bikes, in the back seat.
Cons
Cost to Maintain
It is a very reliable vehicle being a Honda, the previous Ridgeline I owned (2008) lasted for 260,000 miles before I got rid of it. That being said, every 100,000 miles you will need to replace the timing belt. 1 point for the Tacoma because the engine in that midsize has a timing chain. The timing belt service is expensive at around 1,000 to 1,500 bucks so keep that in mind. (if the timing belt snaps,the engine is shot because of it's design)
Styling
Other truck owners will make fun of it's looks because it's so much more comfortable and practical than their trucks.
Pros
Cabin Noise
Quiet. I was talking to a friend recently and they had no idea that I was on the road!
Styling
It's a truck! How can you go wrong?!

Cons

Pros
Fuel Economy
Best fuel economy by far over any pickup in its size
Interior Space
Great interior space. Comfy for long road trips
Styling
Far superior to the previous run of the Ridgeline. The body style makes sense and does not make me resent the lack of covered storage.
