How about wow. Is this gonna be a body on frame? Am I going to have to add Honda to my shopping list for a new truck? Gonna wait till I see the front end, bc thats what killed the Titan for me (even though I wouldn't buy one anyway).

The Ridgeline will be keeping its unibody structure and all-independent suspension. AWD with a locking rear differential will be the same system as in the last generation but with new refinements.

The bed, however, is separate from the rest of the chassis, like a traditional pickup.

To see what the front might look like, see a 2016 Pilot. Unlike the last generation, this new Ridgeline will share many body features and parts, especially in the frontends.

This seems to be the best preview of what the front end might look like:

The newest MotorTrend really panned the Titan's interior as being a hodgepodge of their other line's parts.
It would be neat if the Ridgeline had a hydraulic suspension that could elevate a couple inches along with skidplates.
Our Pilot's rattle free and quiet after 129K. MT rated the new Pilot as second best next to the new Volvo XC90.

As a Honda fan boy I'm very interested in this. The pilot does well off road as far as getting traction goes and this would be a good compromise between large suv and truck. Don't get me wrong it's not going t replace the frontier or Tacoma
