Written By nyit on Monday, October 25, 2010 | 3:58 AM

Honda rehabilitated the Honda Ridgeline with a host of slight improvements that affected its styling and driving demeanor, yielding a somewhat improved truck overall. The "2010 Honda Ridgeline" has a single powertrain combination, which is unusual in the pickup market.

For those consumers who desire a friendlier pickup that can still handle those occasional jobs, there's the Honda Ridgeline. The "Honda Ridgeline" pickup is available in just one four-door body style. Rather than having a separate cab and bed, the Ridgeline's body unites the two. Although it shares some of its running gear with the Honda Pilot, fully 90 percent of the Honda Ridgeline is unique and should not just be considered the pickup version of Honda's SUV.

Comfortable seats, plenty of storage cubbies, sound ergonomics, smooth, quiet performance and a relatively manageable size make the Honda Ridgeline a viable option as the sole family vehicle. If you need the passenger space of an SUV and the utility of a pickup truck, but want nimble carlike handling, the Ridgeline is an excellent choice.
