Having owned many GM and Ford trucks, I have found my Ridgeline to be the best. It is solidly built and handles like a dream. In snow and ice, stability is excellent. I have found that I do not need to put sandbags in the back to maintain control in the winter. After the first month everything works great. The biggest problem with my former Chevy trucks is that they were always in the shop having work done. I have not found this to be the case with my Ridgeline. The fit and finish is excellent. My driving experience is like no other truck. It is very smooth and solid. You get none of the bounce in cornering like in a more conventional truck. The bed payload is higher that my Ford Ranger and similar to my Chevy C-10. For anyone looking to buy a truck for a daily driver you could not go wrong with the Honda Ridgeline
