I volunteered to drive my stepdaughter's year-old Ridgeline to the Bay 
Area after she had to bail on her visit with us and fly home to deal 
with an emergency in 2021 (650 miles), and the more I drove that truck, 
the more I disliked it.  Not only was it huge seemingly just for the 
sake of being huge, it rode and handled like a La-Z-Boy mounted to a 
bowl of Jell-O.  The mileage sucked considering how gutless it was, and 
the seat was so uncomfortable I was stopping every few hours just to get 
out of it.  Yuck.

The only good things I can say for it is it didn't break down, and my 
phone paired easily to the in-dash system for maps and road tunes.
