The 2009 Honda Ridgeline emerges from Honda's factories with quite a few changes for the latest model year, but don't expect them to be glaringly obvious. From the outside, the new Honda Ridgeline looks relatively similar to the previous version, though that's not necessarily a...

Other Choices:

The 2009 Honda Ridgeline competes with a wide range of compact and mid-size trucks, most of which have more traditional layouts with burly frames and unforgiving leaf-spring rear suspensions. The Explorer Sport Trac is the closest in concept to the Ridgeline; it has a shorter bed, but there's an optional V-8 that outdoes the Ridgeline, at least for low-speed hauling. Even though the design is dated, it's still quite attractive. The Nissan Frontier is another possibility; it's especially rugged in look and feel and comes in a variety of trims, including an off-road-focused model. Those considering the Frontier should also take a look at the Equator, which is mechanically identical to the Frontier but with styling that many would judge more attractive. The Equator also has a better warranty. The Toyota Tacoma is another possibility; it's the choice for the frugal, thanks to its strong resale value and decent performance with the economical standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine. Another possibility is the Dodge Dakota, but the mid-size Dakota handles and maneuvers like a larger truck. Although the 2009 Ridgeline is priced higher than many of these models, all the heavy-duty towing components come standard; otherwise you'll have option boxes to check.
