What's making me question is all the extra tweaking I will have to do to get Ram up to same features as Ridgeline. I have been searching to find the right truck for months but have not been able to find exactly what I need from Ram dealer site. Lots of pluses and minuses but clearly Ram is best logical replacement.
Not a big deal but hate having to spend extra$ to get features already bought and paid for. Honestly I would keep my Ridgeline (served me well) but now just to small for my 6'4" frame. You are right - gonna just take time and $ to customize
We have both. My wife loves her 2013 Ridgeline for hauling hay and occasional horse trailer towing. Strengths are handling, dual tailgate, bed in trunk. She averages 18.5 and is a leadfoot. Gets 1.5 mpg better than our '07 Ridgeline did.
I have a 2015 RAM Sport crew cab 2WD, 3.92. Nice ride for a truck and for towing our 3300 pound trailer, you can't beat it with the 8 speed. Honda's weakness is that outdated 5 speed with lousy ratios for towing. I average the same as my wife and on the highway 21 is doable. Speed kills mpg!
You have to decide if you need a truck or, if the RL will meet your needs.
