The only advantage I can see with the Ridgeline is the lockable trunk in the bed. A lady at my work actually sold her Pilot just for this reason. She carried around valuable camera equipment, and didnt like having to take it our when she went through a hand car wash, thinking it might get stolen. She really likes her Ridgeline.
Still, the Tacoma V6 beats the Ridgeline in every other option. Bed length, power, towing, off road, and its great looking.

Car magazines love the Ridgeline - Truck magazines not so much. MT's award of the year severly limits the competition to only those vehicles that have been significantly redesigned that year. Many people think that the MT Award of the year means it is the best of it's category. However, there may still be other vehicles that are better but not included in the competition because they were not redesigned that year.
