It was the most underpowered vehicle I've personally ever driven. Loaded with 400# of sand in the bed, it felt like I was pulling a 40' sail boat. It was a comfortable little "truck" though and the locking trunk in the bed was totally  . If ever there was a vehicle that could benefit from a small block V8 or a small diesel engine, it's the Ridgeline.
eta: it also got bad gas mileage: 14-15 mpg. | sorry i missed your post. i get 18 mpg. It is a little underpowered and would def. benefit from a V8. But I would put it up against any car I've ever seen with a V8 or whatever in the snow, and that's important since I life in Northern New England. I didn't buy it for power because I used to have a 5.3 liter V8 in my GMC Sierra that I traded so I downgraded in the power department. I bought it for versatility. The in-bed trunk is shockingly cool. If I got another truck over the next 2 or 3 years, I would probably go back to a V8 though. |

How much torque does the Ridgeline have? |

It's no Duramax that's for sure. |

yeah, it's not really designed to be a towing machine. That's obvious. But it is good at other stuff. Like winning the Baja 1000/400 races. Lol at you guys immediately focusing on its 1 major weakness, towing capacity. I don't see any fords, chevy's, and GMC's doing that, because it's not what they're designed to do.  http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2008/11...ridgeline.html |

That's because when it comes to trucks, towing capacity is one of the most important things |

That last guy's comment on the page about the Ridgeline says it all.
"Congratulations to the win for the Mini Van"
That thing is about as much truck as my Equinox. |

Damn Ridgeline people are defensive. This thread will now go to 1000 pages of arguing the relative merits of it's "Ridgeyness". 
Rolex, I dig the G8 too (Man!). Might have got one but Canadians aren't allowed to have the GXP for some reason.

In addition, you are terrible. |
