Honda's Ridgeline Becomes The Safest Pickup On The Market

Safety used to be the last concern of people buying pickup trucks, but things have changed over the years. The road conditions are different, with more cars buzzing around on the same infrastructure, increasing the risk of an accident.

The ease with which modern cars can reach triple-digit speed figures is also a factor, even though restrictions are still in place. Finally, pickups are not just a workhorse anymore, but have become stylish vehicles that many persons who like the outdoors consider when choosing their next car.

I do not agree with the premise of the article - that the last concern of truck buyers was safety. In often being the larger and heavier vehicle - in an accident with other cars - trucks were inherently safer - just as large cars were once.

The article clearly mentions that it is the new HEADLIGHT standards that cause other trucks to fail to reach the highest honors - and not only is that a small problem - but also an easily fixed problem as well. Frankly - I would still - in an accident between a Honda Ridgeline and a GMC Heavy Duty - rather be in the GMC - and I believe that most "safety" experts would like the same as well

The Ridgeline is a pickup? I thought it was a minivan with an outdoor storage area.
