Bottomline The 2009 Cadillac Escalade stands out in any crowd; it's the only transforming luxury truck/SUV out there. By offering the best of both worlds, the 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche makes choosing between a truck and an SUV a heck of a lot easier. The 2008 Honda Ridgeline is a flexible light-duty truck with a plush feel, but it can't tackle all the tasks a full-size truck does well.
