It's an AWD Odyssey missing the sliding doors and an open air cargo area.    ;D

The AWD on the newer version was s fully full time with torque vectoring. It’s like SH AWD on a truck.
Im more interested in the beer cooler under the box...;)

I've always thought this...right or wrong. I've always thought of it as the "smart man's" pickup truck.

Find it interesting the Rivian pickup looks a lot more like a Ridgeline than an F150

He has likely fallen into a Ridgeline stupor.. My gen 1 is so damn competent at most things I throw at it that it is boring. It doesn't break, it is the most boring, useful vehicle I have ever owned. It just does it. Like an old leatherman tool. Useful but completely devoid of character.  After a decade it has earned my respect, like my old Makita drill.  YMMV

Had a bunch of snow this weekend, the radio was full of doom and gloom this morning about the death and destruction on the road, this thing was perfectly stable and just confidence inspiring. Oh, and still finding it utterly comfortable. Was a great purchase, still utterly over them moon with it.

Picked up a 2022 Ridgeline Touring this morning - holy crap is this thing ever smooth! Went in rather deep unplowed snow for the photoshoot and no worries at all. None of the ladder-frame wiggles of course. Not a creak, nothing.
