Vehicle Overview
The Ridgeline by Honda continues to be the most popular midsize pickup truck. Consumers adore it, and automotive journalists cannot sing its praises enough. Look at all the major websites that have it ranked number one and have showered it with various awards. The Japanese automaker looks to continue that success with the 2020 Honda Ridgeline by streamlining the trim lineup to something more consumer-friendly, expanding the Honda Sensing safety suite and opting for a more advanced transmission. You can experience all of these changes for yourself at Hughes Honda, your local Honda dealer serving Macon Milledgeville Warner Robins Georgia. Another popular midsize truck is the Tacoma, and its new model refines the transmission and expands the standard equipment. Let’s see how the new Ridgeline and Tacoma stack up in our 2020 Honda Ridgeline vs 2020 Toyota Tacoma face-off.
Exterior - 2020 Honda Ridgeline
Cab and bed options are always an important aspect of comparisons like the 2020 Honda Ridgeline vs 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Honda, however, has taken a very straightforward approach. Crew cabs with four full-size doors is by far the best seller in this segment, and so, this is all that Honda offers. Its bed measures 64.0 inches. Tacoma takes a more traditional approach. It offers a two-door Access Cab with a 6-foot bed and a four-door Double Cab with a 5-foot bed.
