TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Ford Ranger isn’t a revival, it’s a comprehensive rethink.

The 2019 Honda Ridgeline pickup is all the truck we need, but is it enough truck to be what buyers want?

TCC Likes

Good performance
Wide range of trims and options
Standard active safety tech

Flexible, clever bed
Comfortable interior
Refined ride and road manners

TCC Dislikes

Can get expensive with options
Interior doesn’t impress on higher trims
Generic styling

Lackluster fuel economy
Pricey compared to competition
Ground clearance limits utility
