I predicted this way back in July after purchasing my Black Edition and was immediately ridiculed by a Colorado owner on the Honda Canada Facebook page. That guy can suck on it now lol

I got a lot of co-workers that gave me jabs about the "Vaginaline" I bought...
It feels good to know my instincts on the truck when I first got it was right (same goes for the rest of you guys).

re: North American "Truck of the Year" Award

It would be embarrassing if they didn't win, cause the new introduction is "usually" favored just as when Ridgeline won in 2006. But it was a good whoop'n over the Ford Super Duty by 171 points. And the Chevy Bolt pounded with the highest win I have ever seen.

2017 Chevy Bolt (by 259 points over Hyundai Genesis) / Honda Ridgeline (by 171 points over Ford Super Duty)
2016 Honda Civic (by 22 points) / Volvo XC90 (by 199 points)
2015 Volkswagen Golf (by 52 points) / Ford F-150 (by 92 points)
2014 Corvette Stingray (by 26 points) / Chevy Silverado (by 45 points)
2013 Cadillac ATS (by 48 points) / Ram 1500 (by 119 points)
2012 Hyundai Elantra (by 13 points)/ Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (by 102 points)
2011 Chevy Volt / Ford Explorer
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid / Ford Transit Connect
2009 Hyundai Genesis / Ford F-150
2008 Chevy Malibu / Mazda CX-9
2007 Saturn Aura / Chevy Silverado
2006 Honda Civic / Honda Ridgeline

Many of the independent journalists/organizations will have different picks, of course. The thing about NACTOY is that it is 60 journalists compiled to a committee for a vote. You'll have to help me a little, I'm not that familiar with Canada Motoring to know if that is a panel of journalists, or if it is their own pick. I do know that AJAC did not select the Ridgeline, either, but they have no pickup selection that I can see.

Here are the jurors that make up the votes: http://northamericancaroftheyear.org/jurors/

None of it really matters, as you can see by history. But they are cool overall accolades.

The show is on TSN (total sports network) and it's called Motoring 2017. The year changes every year it's on and it's been running for 30 years. It's a great show out of Toronto Ontario.

Re: North American Truck of the Year Award

I was driving to work when this was on the news, he seemed pleased he won.
Re: North American Truck of the Year Award

No big deal anything redesigned, that its new wins just reminds me of La La Land and its been goin on for years. I could careless if it wins and am still running numbers as my Dealer, after a second test drive aint helping on it one bit. After buyin 3 new Hondas within the last five years you would think they would fudge a little bit, hell with Honda then. With this North American Truck of the year that dont help and their will be more awards to come just cause its new. Think Im goin to wait now for that new Ranger comin out if my Dealer dont pony up. Since the new Ranger will be new showin up Im sure that will make Truck of the year too. Not a hater, so dont go there............Whats available Im not comfy with fit and trim.

If it makes you feel any better not only have I purchased multiple Hondas from the dealership, my daughter is friends with the owner's daughter! I actually bought my RL from a different dealership this time out of frustration.

Titan was new/redesign also and was finalist for Truck Of The Year if you saw when the award was given the Ridgeline had to drive past it.
Washington DC Auto show is at end of month last year Ridgeline was at Detroit show did not make DC. Titan was there people were all over it I was upstairs giving the GMC Canyon a good going over. Two guys that were checking on Canyon overheard them saying Titan was too big. But Civic won Award last year and they sure had a placard on display saying North American Car Of The Year
Re: North American Truck of the Year Award

Yea I read it and the Titan was right their with the RL but the RL won from those judges point of view. I dont want a Titan but I think being they were the second place looser for the North American Truck of the Year I will bet they have better sales.
Re: North American Truck of the Year Award

Congrats to Honda for winning Truck of the Year, well done! Gen 2 is a great little truck and deserves some accolades.
