2011 Honda Ridgeline

Base MSRP $29,960

The Honda Ridgeline is in a class of its own--it is the only truck in the full-size segment to use a closed-box frame and unit-body construction. It utilizes independent front and rear suspension, but features a relatively short bed and a car-like driving experience. The Honda pickup is a bit more expensive than the Ford and Dodge, with a starting price just under $29,000, and only one engine option. The Ridgeline excels in 5-passenger comfort as well as decidedly better handling than many of its full-size rivals
