Josh, I agree that we are
Josh, I agree that we are arguing here about the personal preferences. And yes, Ridgeline borrows a lot from Pilot. But the whole car, and especially body and suspension went through the complete overhaul in order to turn an SUV into a truck. Here we have to define "truck". I'd say it is an automobile that can carry and tow heavy loads. Not all trucks are as off road capable as a buggy and Toyota Tacoma. So, Ridgeline is a truck that shares a lot with Pilot SUV, not as capable off road as Tacoma, but better than Tacoma in ride quality and fuel economy. And we can discuss the long list of properties where one or the other truck is better, it just doesn't make sense :-) Everyone who is thinking about getting a truck should watch YouTube videos, read reviews and articles, test drive, talk to the sales people and decide for themselves what they prefer.
