Honda Ridgeline

Honda’s contrarian pickup is equal parts crossover and truck. However long in the tooth it may be (2014 is its last year of production; a new model is due by 2016 or so), the Ridgeline blends the cabin comfort of the Pilot SUV with a short, high-walled cargo bed, a nifty under-floor trunk, and a dual-action tailgate. Its 250-hp V-6 is average, but its fuel efficiency is decent. For people who want truck utility and crossover drivability, the Ridgeline is worth a look.
