I am actually considering buying a new Ridgeline as a do-it-all vehicle. It's basically a beefed-up Pilot with a versatile bed. If that fits your needs, it fits them very well.
IMHO a Ridgeline will do all the "trucky" things that 99% of truck owners ever need it to do. The vast majority of pickups are seen with one occupant, hauling air. A Ridgeline's payload and towing capabilities are pretty much the same as all the other midsize "real" trucks -- Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, Canyon. They do not have the offroad capabilities of the body-on-frame trucks. OTOH, they ride and drive far, far, far better than any of the "real" trucks. Also, the torque-vectoring AWD of the Ridgeline/Pilot is a big advantage over any of its competitors, for on-road winter driving conditions, and that is a very strong feature for my use.
If you're going to haul heavy shit all the time (not just occasional dog/ bike/ Home Depot trip), or going to tow heavy shit regularly (RV across the country, heavy construction equipment), the Ridgeline is a bad choice. Buy a traditional fullsize truck.
I have an old 3/4-ton longbed 4x4 truck, mostly for holding a slide-in camper, and occasional hauling-of-heavy-shit. It's useful but guzzles a lot of gas. It also rides like shit and is a PITA to park. Works great for the poor man's Sportsmobile, which was the intent.
I'm kinda waiting to see what happens for the 2018 model year Ridgeline, and hoping that consumer demand drops off like it did with the first generation. After the first year or two of the first gen Ridgelines, sales figures tanked (they're kinda weird trucks, and I think everyone who wanted one bought one early on). Hoping for incentives then, by mid-2018 or so. Also, been seeing news stories suggesting that U.S. car sales are slumping, which might be advantageous for car shopping.
