Ridgelines leaving the factory

I guess it could be a city weekend warrior vehicle. Not for me by any means, but if I had to own a newer mid sized truck I would go with the GM twins or Tacoma.

I gave that idea up years ago, but maybe the younger guys still do it.

I thought that's what dump trucks are for. Order 25 tons at a time, it's cheaper and they deliver it for free.

My folks are in their mid 70's, and put me to shame regularly :B

Ridgeline a truck? Isn't it still a unibody pulling machine?
I'm sure it will do well in the big cities, countryside not so much.

Not my idea of a "truck", but I'm stupid and it IS 2016...everything has changed..a station wagon, or a semblance of that type vehicle is now an SUV or UTE or whatever..so a "truck, be it whatever with a little bed in it, VW pick ups, Subaru Brat or whatever it was called are now trucks..so with a 1500# payload, guess that qualifies it as a bonifide pick up truck...just not in my eyes, but again...I'm stupid:)

Can it haul a yard of gravel?

As well as the Tundra I saw in the dealer showroom recently I'd wager :R

My folks have hauled several loads of bagged rock, both in the bed and loaded up on their utility trailer. It handled it quite well.

I read a press release that stated that all male buyers of the Ridgeline will receive a year supply of Androgel. I guess after that it is on you. I swear I read it somewhere.

Yes, but it requires two trips.

Can it haul a yard of gravel?

"Can it haul a "yard of gravel?"

Two different estimates..more than several variables.


1). A cubic yard of gravel weighs between 2,200 and 2,600 pounds, depending on the type of gravel selected. Washed gravel and limestone base tend to be heavier, while landscape gravel and washed limestone are the lightest.

2).1 Cubic Yard of Gravel can weigh between 2,400 to 2,900 lbs. or up to one and a half tons approximately.

Either way..you got your answer if payload is 1500# on the Ridgeline

Don't get me wrong, The truck has it's applications just like any other vehicle..one just has to look at the numbers that factor into towing and hauling..pretty simple...Guess I'm just use to a truck looking sort of what they've looked like for as long back as "I" can remember, ( will be 66 in July)....
