I just checked out the photos of the 07 and noticed one important detail. On the two photos of the tailgate...I see Honda REMOVED the 4WD raised lettering that was under the word 'Ridgeline'. Maybe this was to 'clean up' the tailgate area and just have the Brand name with the vehicle name. Maybe the 4WD 'logo' was placed somewhere else.
Anyone else notice anything new with the truck? |

Optional Honeycomb pattern grill, Wheels, and Tow Package are the main things.
We just got out first RTX, just gassed it up. :-D Drives like a ridgeline... although, I did get a few questions at the gas station. |

I'm guessing just the opposite and that it is an OLD picture of the RidgeLine. In the first pictures and even the brochure the "4WD" logo was missing back in early 2006. IMHO, the "4WD" was added to improve the marketability of the RidgeLine to the hard-core group. |

| I really like the RTX. The darker wheels are nice and its got painted door handles instead of the RT's black plastic handles. I think its definitely a bargain at only $500 more than the RT. |

The "2007" photos looked lik the preproduction ones they published in 2005 before the release of the 2006 model. I think you will the the "4WD" on the production 2007 model, just like the 2006. |

I looked at a 2007 today and they DO still have the "4WD" emblem - no change from the 2006 model. |

No, we were with my brother-in-law and his wife and they were "kinda" shopping for a new CRV. I did like the looks of the new darker gray wheels on the RTX. :) |
