Yep, the Ridgeline, which is essentially a lengthened Honda Pilot with a stunted little bed, is very loosely based on the Accord... but they have really very little in common.
However, I would argue that the Ridgeline would meet the uses of the vast majority of half-ton pickup owners. Driving around with the driver and maybe one or two other occupants, rarely using the bed for much of anything, rarely if ever using it to tow anything substantial, and rarely ever going off road beyond maybe an unpaved surface.
But, like the Ranchero, El Camino, Baja, etc. it tries too hard to be perhaps too many things that it fails to be any one thing exceptionally well. I have to admit, though, the Ridgeline does drive really nice and is pretty roomy inside. If it is a vehicle that somehow checks your needs boxes and you want one, I see no problem with it. It is far nicer to drive/feed/maintain/park than an F150.
