Yes - completely different aims, and not really comparable.I just bought a JT, my friend bought a new Ridgeline. In my mind the two are not comparable other than they are both technically mid-size trucks. They are about as far apart as two vehicles can be and still be in the same class.
The Honda is a very nice vehicle, but it was never in the running for me because I wanted off road ability. It's going to be the best choice for 90+% of midsize truck buyers based on how they actually use their vehicles - which is as a truck-shaped car.
Before buying my second Ridgeline (2007 then 2019) I wanted to check out the Gladiator because it was so different/likely fun, but it was just coming out and very rare... plus the prices were much more than I wanted to pay. But I do like the Gladiator for what it is.
Most people do seem to use their trucks as truck-shaped cars. I do carry a lot of stuff in my Ridgeline though - mostly building/landscaping materials, etc., as we're usually working on something, and items going from home to the lake cabin and vice versa. My Ridgeline is very often "off pavement", but almost never "off road".
