Just a minor point -- a crossover ISN'T an SUV. A crossover is a vehicle that is bridging the stylistic, size, and capability gap between cars and SUVs... thus the name "crossover". They run the range from being very car-like to being very SUV-like, but most, if not all, are based on a car platform. This is a minor point because the Honda Ridgeline is one of the more SUV-like models with SUV-like capabilities.

No, none of these, including the Pilot, are an SUV. No 2-speed transfer case = not a real truck. AWD is not 4WD. These are just grocery getters, not for real use.
