As for the rigeline, I did serve 5 years hard time at a honda dealer and while the quality was quite good they were useless to anyone who actually "needed" vs "just wanted" a small truck, all the doors in the bed would get trashed fast with any real use, you had no choice but get a 4wd pulling a trailer as they had no traction in grass even when you put some weight on the hitch. And the sides were still too tall for reaching over and grabbing something slightly heavy. If your just hauling intertubes down to the river they were great and I would recomend them for that but I carry heads and blocks and cranks to the machine shop all the time and that kind of thing destroys the crappy beds in those things.
As I stated earlier, it's an occasional truck for me. I test drove earlier models and they got no power. I suspect from the AWD system as my wife's 2wd '06 Pilot would tromp any Ridege from the same era.
My '13 will tow a car and handles good doing it for a unibody. It has the weight and length. FCA could do this easily.
