Not to worry. Enjoy being original, for a while. I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. This is a great truck, and it will take off.
I've owned several first year production cars and in each case, I struggled with the novelty of being original and worrying that no one wanted what I thought was a great vehicle.
Porsche 968 - Never saw many of these, and they never sold many. Great car though. I still have it.
Toyota Sequoia - Saw a lot of these after about six months. Underpowered, low visibility, a seat folding system that is very poorly designed, and a turning radius of the Titanic. Yet they are now everywhere.
Cadillac STS - Saw a lot of these.
Porsche Cayenne S - Didn't see another one of these for three months after purchase. Now they are everywhere. This was after Porsche introduced the V-6 version for a much lesser price. Then, I began to see many more S models.
Ridgeline RTL - I have only seen three others. However, I get a lot of comments from people saying "that's my next truck". In fact, I never received as many comments on my Cayenne. Especially when you pull up to the golf course and pull your clubs out of the in-bed trunk!
What appears to be holding back initial sales is that there is no "base" Ridgeline in a relative sense. You get a lot of truck for what you pay for, but you can't get a stripped-down beer-can model.
Enjoy an excellent vehicle. I know I am, and this is the first Honda I've ever owned. I believe soon, you will see them everywhere.
