For what it's worth (maybe not much from an internet stranger), I couldn't possibly overstate how much I love my Ridgeline. I love the trunk under the bed, I love how the back seats fold up for extra in-cab cargo space, and I love how the unibody structure and independent rear suspension make it drive like a car. It's comfortable enough that I can use it happily for longer road trips.

I love it so much that when it was stolen on a trip to Montreal a few years ago, I bought the exact same year and model again without even googling other options.

It is a bit longer than I'd prefer--I live in urban Chicago and occasionally do have to forgo a good parking space, but usually those are, like, Honda Civic spaces that a slightly smaller truck wouldn't fit into either.
