Title 40, Chapter 1 sub chapter c Part 86 Suppart A of the Federal Code of Regulations states a "light duty truck" is the following:
Light-duty truck means any motor vehicle rated at 8,500 pounds GVWR or less which as a vehicle curb weight of 6,000 pounds or less and which has a basic vehicle frontal area of 45 square feet or less, which is:
(1) Designed primarily for purposes of transportation of property or is a derivation of such a vehicle, or
(2) Designed primarily for transportation of persons and has a capacity of more than 12 persons, or
(3) Available with special features enabling off-street or off-highway operation and use.
The honda ridgline GVWR is 6019lbs, it's frontal area is roughly 38ft^2, it's clearly designed to move property, and it's curb-weight is 4500lbs.
Legally, the Honda Ridgeline is a truck. Specifically a "light duty truck." End of story.
