Because they start @ $30,000.00 for the bottom of the line 2WD RT. Get one loaded up and your over $40K easy. Thats a nice chink of change for about 40% of a truck. Better off to get the Pilot or CRV.
I think the price is part of the problem. The other problem with the Ridgeline is it doesn't really do anything well. My wife's kid-mobile is a Pilot and it's been great. I can't think of a single way the Ridgeline would be better in that role, though, while I can think of a ton of disadvantages. Then on the flipside when I compare it to a half-ton, the only thing it really does better is navigate a tight parking lot - a typical pickup is better in every other way. It's the worst of both worlds.
ICE CHEST TRUNK
Totally worth the 40k... ha ha ha
In seriousness, I went and test drove one... I asked the salesmen what he drove...
He drove a Nissan Frontier crew cab...
That basically explains it in a nutshell... the Ridgeline is perceived as a non truck.
If you want to do truck stuff, then you buy a truck.
A Body on frame truck
Even if small. I suspect, if the carrier ever made it to the USA it would be about as popular as the Subaru Baja.
Thanks and JMHO
