What do you get when you want a pickup that does everything a pickup does, yet stands out from the pack in a unique way? Back in the day, you opted for the Honda Ridgeline. When the model returns for 2017, chances are you'll opt for it yet again. With a unibody design and some pretty good looking styling cues, it's a potent truck for a new generation.

Now, Honda's pickup is capturing the hearts and minds of the automotive news gauntlet, in particular the team at Autoblog. They loved how the new Ridgeline echoes the things we love about the latest generation Pilot, while offering 5,000-plus pounds of towing, 1,584 lbs. of payload, and a meaty 3.5-liter V6 with just enough power to have fun and remain capable.

Of course, there are some features of the new Ridgeline that are designed purely for fun. This includes a trunk-like enclosure in the truck bed (with drainage so it can be used as beer storage), and a versatile tail gate.

Set to arrive in dealerships soon, we think that the 2017 Ridgeline will become a fast favorite of the rational pickup-buying crowd. To learn more about it in advance, contact our Honda dealership in Houston, TX at your convenience.
