The Ridgeline launched for 2006 as an unconventional unibody, crew-cab pickup — more carlike than body-on-frame rivals, with a watertight in-bed trunk and a dual-action tailgate.
After a 2015 hiatus the second generation arrived for 2017, retaining the unibody formula and a strong reputation for ride comfort.
