They don't offer the functionality that a pickup is supposed to provide (hauling lots of long / bulky things) and don't offer the convenience that an SUV does when it comes to hauling people or keeping lots of enclosed cargo. When I worked for Home Depot way back when, I had to strap most longer objects to the roof of every Chevrolet Avalanche that came through because it wouldn't fit in it's "bed." Worthless.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
I just have no need for hauling a 4x8' sheet of plywood.

He can't do the things that you want to do with the truck, so it's stupid?
You know, or his needs are different than yours. Just a thought.

I think it's a great buy, personally. I'm not a fan of buying brand-new vehicles, but if the price is right, then go for it.
For Adam's response, most people that buy trucks very rarely use them for what they were designed for, they buy them anyways b/c they are big and make the customer feel like they command the road. I will freely admit that my truck is bigger than I needed, but I tow something with it at least once a month and it will last me damn near forever. Am I an idiot for buying the extended cab with the shorter bed b/c I wanted the extra maneuverability to be able to park in a parking deck at work? I think the Ridgeline is a phenomal all-purpose utility vehicle, the jack-of-all-trades if you will. Good ride comfort for a truck, enough cargo space to be useful in almost every situation, 4 full doors, and seems to be very well-engineered. Seriously, how does that not appeal to the general masses?

RJ, let us know how it does with towing, and I disagree with Adam, ill be getting a truck with a shortbed, I dont do construction work, I do towing and throwing car parts in the bed. Ill use it more around town and for trips so having the interior space is better.
RJ it looks good, but it means we're going to have to see some "useful" pictures all loaded up!

I'm replacing one vehicle with another, donkey. I got rid of so much shit last year its ridiculous. Moving to CA is probably out, I cant be a housewife Working on something else though.

I also disagree with Adam, a longbed isn't all that. Growing up farming and always being around trucks and tractors we never found ourselves wishing we had a longbed truck. The shortbed does just fine (even carrying plywood and boards) and is easier to maneuver around a tight barn/parking lot/paddock with a trailer on the back of it.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
