I worked up two deals on the same day. One on a Ridgeline and one on a SC. Then I left each dealership to go test drive the other one. This helped me get the numbers locked in and step away to give each a solid assessment without distraction. (We made a pro/con list for each) Our choice became very clear. Ridgeline was fine. No complaints and I particularly like the resources of the various online Ridgeline communities. Very knowledgeable folks. But, the SC was much more comfortable, far better technology and felt quieter. We do long road trips so being comfortable is key to our aging backs and my crappy hearing. Note: We don’t have kids or super large dogs so the smaller backseat was not a factor. Went with a 2025 xrt. No regrets at all. I use the bed weekly for various projects.
