![]() Move up to the RTL-E if you want advanced safety gear such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automated emergency braking, lane departure warning and intervention, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. It also upgrades to the 8-inch touchscreen audio system that brings along a more powerful seven-speaker audio system, navigation, HD radio, satellite radio, three more USB ports, and Apple CarPlay and Android Audio smartphone integration. Our pick is the RTL-T, which adds LED daytime running lights and Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side blind-spot camera system. All-wheel-drive versions have heated outside mirrors and a noise-reducing windshield. The front seats are heated, with an armrest and eight-way power adjustments for the driver and four-way power adjustments for the passenger. Next up is the RTL, which has leather seating. Step up to the Sport and you'll get foglights, gray-painted alloy wheels, body-color door and tailgate handles, keyless entry, remote engine start and tri-zone automatic climate control. There's a 4.2-inch information screen between the gauges, Bluetooth connectivity, and a seven-speaker sound system that includes a USB port and a 5-inch screen interface that also displays the rearview camera. The base trim level RT has a decent amount of standard equipment, including 18-inch alloy wheels, a tow hitch, cruise control, air conditioning, push-button start, and a power lock system that includes the dual-action tailgate. It's the same generation, so our observations still apply. There are no significant differences between the 2019 Honda Ridgeline and our long-term truck. This midsize truck really differentiates itself from the rest of the class and we can tell you all about it. We test the practicality of its unique two-way tailgate and lockable in-bed trunk and even take it off-road. We cover everything from seat comfort to real-world fuel economy.

Notably, we picked the 2019 Honda Ridgeline as one of Edmunds' Best Pickup Trucks and Best Gas Mileage Trucks for this year. It's one of our favorite trucks on the road today. ![]() ![]() Overall, though, this is a well-rounded package built for the majority of users rather than a specialized tool for just one task. Also, if you love the rugged stance of pickups, the Ridgeline's softer styling might be a turnoff. ![]() It's not quite as capable off-road as some other trucks, and its touchscreen interface can be frustrating to use. Inside, the Ridgeline is spacious and quiet with plenty of room for passengers or cargo in the back seat. It also has useful features such as an in-bed cargo storage system that doubles as a cooler and a stereo system made for tailgate parties that uses the bedliner as audio drivers. ![]() It can also fit 4-by-8 sheets of plywood in the bed thanks to a flat load floor - a feature that no other midsize truck currently offers. The Ridgeline can still tow up to 5,000 pounds (3,500 pounds with front-wheel-drive models), which should be enough for a light trailer and some gear. You don't miss out in terms of utility either. ![]()
