A contractor who hauls supplies and equipment around Raynham, MA, has different needs than someone carrying sporting gear. Chevrolet covers a wider range with gasoline, diesel, and electric powertrains, plus two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations. The Honda Ridgeline uses AWD, but there's currently no 4WD truck offered.
