Should I Buy the 2022 Honda Ridgeline?
The Ridgeline’s car-like driving manners and lack of customization options make it something of an acquired taste compared with traditional truck rivals, but its crew cab is comfortable and the V-6 drivetrain is smooth and refined. However, it lacks the towing and hauling capability of some other mid-size trucks.
