I had a 2008 Ridgeline for five years prior to getting my current F150. I absolutely loved it. I was pretty rough on it and it never failed and the resale value was incredible. I would say that it's strength is that it is so versatile. It does alot of truck things pretty well, but not as well as a half ton. I reached a point where I was pushing its limits in how much that bed can hold and the softer suspension started to reveal itself when the back would squat 3 inches with 1000lbs in it. I would recommend one for pulling a big pop-up in a second, but it is not the best choice for a 4500 tt. When traveling at 60 mph and getting passed by a big rig or going up or down big hills, things become clear that the more capable tv makes driving alot more pleasant and safe. With that said, i miss my ridgeline for daily driving.
