2019 Honda Ridgeline: The commuter's pickup truck
Honda's midsize pickup truck is unmatched when it comes to hauling you or your passengers along a commute or road trip.
The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.
The 2019 Honda Ridgeline starts at $31,035, including $1,045 for destination.
In decked-out Black Edition trim, the Ridgeline comes in at $44,465.
My RTL-E tester is $42,965.
Under the hood sits a 3.5-liter V6 making 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. All Ridgelines use a six-speed automatic transmission.
With front-wheel drive, the Ridgeline is EPA rated for 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg highway. My AWD tester is estimated to get 18/25 city/highway mpg.
There's plenty of space and comfort inside for up to five occupants.
If you want an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and embedded navigation, you'll have to pay at least $38,045 for the RTL-T trim level.
Higher trims come with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring, but those advanced driver-assistance systems should be made standard.
The Ridgeline offers up to a 1,580-pound payload rating and 7.3 cubic feet of space underneath the bed floor.
