New Honda Ridgeline is For Everyone
The 2017 Honda Ridgeline has only been around for a little over a month, but it is already transforming the truck world. While it has all the utility and capability that a truck should have, it also offers style and convenience that other trucks simply can’t. Peter Valdes-Dapena, an automotive writer for CNN recently reviewed the Ridgeline, admitting that he is not, by definition, a truck person, and never pictured himself owning one. But once he got behind the wheel of the Ridgeline, that changed very quickly.
Dapena noted that the Ridgeline offered a smooth and responsive ride, free of shakes and wobbles that you’d normally find in other trucks. He marveled at the storage space; while most trucks simply offer a truck bed to haphazardly store your belongings in, the Ridgeline has a lockable watertight trunk built in the floor of the bed, so you can safely and securely store your belongings.
As far as price, Dapena concludes, “The Ridgeline is a completely different, better-equipped and a more flexible, livable vehicle than a base-level [competitor truck]. For people who might not ordinarily considering buying a truck, I think I have found your truck.”
