Honda Ridgeline

“Honda truck” is among the top Google search items bringing people to NewMexiKen these days, behind the ever popular Ron Howard’s brother. The original posts were here and here, but I thought I’d add this from Car and Driver Magazine:

The Ridgeline’s bed is also different, with a sheet-molding-compound coating that is dent and corrosion resistant—no bed liner needed. But the best part is the hatch in the floor of the bed that opens to expose a nine-cubic-foot trunk—large enough for three sets of golf clubs, a keg, or the Ridgeline’s chief engineer, Gary Flint. Think it would be difficult to load stuff into a trunk over a tailgate? So did Honda. That’s why the tailgate swings open from right to left like a door, in addition to its traditional tailgate moves, making it easy to get at the trunk.
