old school thinking. I'm not sure any trucks will meet those criteria in near future- all the EVs developed now don't
but I admit the Ridgeline is different from the more capable trucks from Ford, Chevy, etc.
I think of the Ridgeline as a lifted modern version of the 70s/80s El Camino. Of course, El Caminos were cool, so Ridgeline can be cool in its own way too.
