Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the RAM 1500 than in the Honda Ridgeline. The RAM 1500 offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Honda Ridgeline, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

With the RAM 1500 you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Honda Ridgeline, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
