	Honda Ridgeline rocks: Clever, classy, capable - 02/02/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		After a day and a half of testing the Ridgeline in a variety of southern California settings, including driving an off-road course and using the truck to haul a heavy box trailer filled with rocks, this wife -- who selects and buys the vehicles in our household -- gives her seal of approval.
		The Ridgeline is easy to handle and feels stable and well-mannered, even when it is hauling a load or navigating a steep, silty hill on an off-road course.
		Still, the Ridgeline's engine seemed perfectly adequate for hauling four or five passengers and passing and merging on the freeway, even though it was a little noisy at highway speeds.

	USATODAY.com - Ridgeline sets new standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Ridgeline is for people who know the value of a pickup but suspect they don't need something built to tow four tons or slam through the worst terrain with half a ton of cargo in back, nor do they value the usually rude road manners of such heavy-duty machines.
		To make Ridgeline strong enough to haul about 1,500 pounds or tow a 5,000-pound trailer while carrying a couple of people and their luggage in the truck, Honda designed a ladder frame such as you'd find beneath conventional pickups.
		Ridgeline is 206.8 inches long, 76.3 inches wide (87.3 inches including mirrors), 70.3 inches tall on a 122-inch wheelbase.

		And now the Ridgeline demonstrates that there is room for such cleverness in the last segment of the market dominated by domestic manufacturers.
		The Ridgeline's 5-foot-long truck bed, for instance, is one of the shortest around, which might be a nonstarter for lumber haulers.
		Instead, the Ridgeline's cargo bed is optimized for transporting two big motorcycles or an ATV—the kinds of toys owned by people who will have nearly 30 grand for a cargo hauler like this.

		A quick scan of the dash and console reveals that the various controls and instruments are large and intuitive with the exception of the on/off button for the cruise control, which is buried down low on the left of the dash.
		But once rolling, the Ridgeline's acceleration felt equally strong through the midrange and when the gas was decked at 45 mph to simulate a freeway on-ramp merge.
		All the Ridgeline's gauges and controls are easily read, with the exception of the on/off button for the cruise control, located too low on the left of the dash.

		To begin with, the Ridgeline is the first mid-sized pickup to employ an independent rear suspension.
		The disadvantage to this belt and suspenders approach is that it contributes to the Ridgeline's portly 4500-pound curb weight.
		In keeping with Honda tradition, the Ridgeline is the first compact pickup to meet Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards in all 50 states.

		The Ridgeline's numbers are pretty much exactly on par with 1/2 ton trucks from the other companies.
		If the Ridgeline had square tires and wheels instead of round the styling of the wheel arches would be fine.
		Even though the Ridgeline has some styling warts, it would not keep me from buying one if I were in the market for a truck.

		When I finally arrived, the Ridgeline intro was in full swing and executive vice president of American Honda Dick Colliver was touting the benefits of the truck's hidden trunk, an industry first that would be copied by all truck-makers.
		Nothing to do with the Pilot SUV, the Ridgeline's undercarriage boasts 93 percent exclusive components, including two longitudinal frame rails and seven high-strength steel cross members for the fully boxed effect, plus a deep channel, ladder frame structure which is fully integrated into the upper body of the vehicle.
		The Ridgeline sports a large cabin with the best rear legroom in the 4-door pickup class, ideal for families not needing the third row of seats the brand's Pilot SUV offers, and alternatively needing exterior cargo capacity.

		The salesman stressed that the Ridgeline is a midsize, but it looks larger than that to me. Partly this is because of the styling, but physical dimensions also play a role.
		I didn't drive the Ridgeline like a sports car because it's not one, so I cannot comment on its behavior "at the limit." The ride is smooth (the independent rear suspension helps here) and noise levels are perhaps the lowest I've experienced in a pickup.
		The Ridgeline is to the Pilot as the Avalanche is to the Tahoe.

		The 2006 Honda Ridgeline is the venerable Japanese manufacturer's first pickup design, and it has been very well received by the automotive press.
		But Honda has given the Ridgeline some heavy-duty bona fides, and while its towing and hauling capacity aren't eye-popping by any means, its combination of interior space and comfort, as well as innovative cargo options make it a viable family workhorse.
		The Ridgeline's basic warranty is good for three years or 36,000 miles, and five years or 60,000 miles on the power train.

		Capable of holding three golf bags (or a large cooler) and the spare tire, the in-bed trunk comes complete with a water drain for easy cleaning and a seal which was engineered to keep water and grime out in the first place.
		With 252 pound-feet of torque, this powerplant has been supplemented with a high capacity radiator, dual high-power cooling fans, and heavy duty power steering and transmission coolers enabling it to tow 5000 pounds with two passengers and 175 pounds of cargo in the bed.
		The Ridgeline is a purpose-built truck that is very stable and forgiving.

		The Ridgeline boasts this exceptional strength from an integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction and powerful, 247-hp, V-6 engine with 4-wheel independent suspension.
		Don't forget that the Ridgeline was the first 4-door pickup to achieve the highest government crash-test rating (5 stars) for both frontal and side-impact tests.* And it has the lowest chance of rollover among all pickup trucks tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).**

		The Ridgeline solves the age-old problem of cargo security with an 8.5 cubic-foot lockable trunk at the rear of the bed.
		The Ridgeline marries this handling precision to a full-time "VTM-4" all-wheel-drive powertrain with locking rear differential and computerized "VSM" stability control.

	IGN: 2006 Honda Ridgeline
		According to our research, Honda's Ridgeline puts about 70 percent of its power to the front wheels, but it is able to shift that power to the rear wheels if needed.
		The Ridgeline's steering feedback is excellent, the ride is never harsh or "wallowy", and it feels sure-footed when cornering.
		The Ridgeline's engine just doesn't want to give the effort necessary to accelerate hard while it is already cruising at 70 miles per hour.
