I know Bren thinks otherwise, but unless you're a contractor, long bed trucks don't make much sense to me. I've not once had an instance where I couldn't transport what I needed in the 6.5" beds of trucks I've had. Granted, I don't buy a lot of drywall, sheathing, etc.
And if you're not going to tow a lot or carry big, heavy loads very often, the Ridgeline makes a lot of sense.
But then again, I tow a lightweight aluminum car trailer with a relatively lightweight car on it... using a 3/4 ton diesel pickup rated for more than 25,000 lbs.
