Hi everyone, this is my first post on the board and I came here because I've been interested in getting a truck recently. I did some research and it seems like the Ridgeline is the right kinda truck for my needs.
I recently bought a new home and have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L with the 3.5L V6 VCM engine. It hasn't given me any problems thus far for 50k miles. I'm looking to haul home improvement supplies, typical yard work waste/equipment, and kayaks/bikes/quads/hiking gear. It seems like the Ridge will do quite nicely since I really don't need to haul anything extremely heavy.
I've located a few for sale in the Pittsburgh area where I live and I'm hoping to stay in the sub $15000 range. Here they are I'd love some opinions on which would be the best buy and what offers I should make on them.

Additionally, I'm just looking for some friendly advice on whether I should get rid of my Honda Accord. I'm really inclined to keep it because it's already paid off. However, the Ridgeline would easily replace it for all my daily needs. So, would you keep both vehicles or get rid of the Accord? I'm a little scared to buy a used vehicle and get rid of mine when I know my Accord has served me flawlessly and I've had it since it had 3 miles on the odometer.
I'm also worried about the gas mileage. I typically get 25-28mpg in my Honda Accord and 30+ on long trips. It seems most of you are only getting about 16-18 in the Ridgeline correct?
One benefit to selling the car is I would remain without a car payment since I'm sure I can get ~15k+ out of the Accord. I also wouldn't have insure two vehicles, registration, etc. etc.
Just looking for some opinions on what you all would do and if some of you decided to replace your other vehicles or keep the truck in addition. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Oh, I'd also like to ask how you guys grade the road noise on the Ridgeline? The only negative thing I have to say about my Accord is that it's noisy. I know that's typically been a trait of all Honda's from what I have heard. I have yet to test drive one so I was just curious.
