Welcome from Curacao!
My final two pics for MY24 were the Ridgeline RTL and Mav Hybrid XLT.
There is no head-to-head comparison here. The RTL was loaded with a great interior. The Maverick was simple, affordable, and fit my needs perfectly.
I also don’t mind recalls if Ford wants to get it right. Only recalls on my two Hondas were triggered by the NHTSA, not Honda. Just my experience, but either vehicle is a good choice.

Wow this is all great information. Alot of great points on the ridgeline bed design.
You are correct the body on frame design is just too much for my needs the height of putting stuff in the bed is one downside as well as getting in and out. Yeah I'm not knocking the Ranger as a truck. If you need a mid sized Truck it's definitely the best by far. I shopped them all before buying. Also I'm sure the Transmission was just a fluke but the 10 speeds aren't known to be the best in reliability. On the bright side my local ford dealer (Wayne Ford) was awesome to work with. They diagnose and put the new Transmission in within a week and the tech did an amazingly thorough and clean job (not always a given)
I love the exterior of the Maverick way more than the Ridgeline. I just wish the interior was as nice as the Ridgline. I'm 59 years Old and just like a more conservative cabin.

I've owned tons of Hondas and Acuras. The 10 speed trans is now very good. I was going to buy
a Ridgeline until I realized it was 210" long and won't fit my garage!! RTL is way to go.
Overall, longer life, better interior to enjoy for years, strong 3.5 V6 and a great riding "truck."
I had a great, white RTL all picked out, talked to my long time friend at my local Honda dealer,
told him I wanted that one.....and after finding out about the exact length I had to call him and...
say...."damn, I can't buy it since it won't fit garage. I was really bummed.

Have always liked the Ridgeline....wife too, but, not meant to be.

Get the Ridgeline....in the long run you'll be happy you did.

No haters please. I really like my '26 Lobo, but, put beside the 3.5 NA V6 RTL Ridgeline,
it's the Ridgeline.....if your garage is long enough! LOL!!
