None of them. I've been driving GM trucks for a long time now. Incidentally, the Ridgeline is unibody construction and not really a pickup. It's a Pilot with a bed instead of an enclosed cargo area.
Here up North. All Toyota trucks with steel wheels are completely rusted (the rims that is). Years ago Toyota had to replace a bunch of Tacoma trucks as the frames rusted early on.
I would never buy ANY full sized pickup because all but the Tundra are unreliable and all are too big, drink too much gas, and are way too expensive. The Ridgeline is a more manageable size but it's MPG is not good, and it is an SUV with a bed grafted on.
The Tundra got my vote because it is the only reliable pickup sold. If I ever had a need for a guzzling behemoth, the Tundra would be the one I'd buy.
But for just driving around town and commuting - the Honda - from the 3 choices asked.
For most truck owners it is probably the best choice, unless you need more towing capacity.
I bought a Tundra DC Long because I'm turning it into a offroad RV. I certainly wouldn't buy a big truck for driving around. I don't like the tall riding position, ponderous handling, poor fuel mileage, or difficulty parking. I have '86 Toyota truck that is a hell of a lot better for driving around town.

All depends on road salt being used or not. Really up North where I live little road salt is used, so all truck wheels look good unless one lives by the coastline. Still certainly rusts, and so aluminum; it takes a few years of rain, snow, and ice for a lot of things in every truck to rust. For example, the previous owner of my 2001 Silverado lived in Anchorage where road salt is used during the winter, and the frame as well as the aluminum wheels have lots of rust.
The Ridgeline resembles a Subaru Baja in my opinion. If this was my only option for a "pickup", I would pass and buy a trailer instead to use when needed. I'm sure the Nissan is a nice truck but I am not 100% sold on the looks just yet. The tundra on the other hand stands out from the crowd for me and gets my vote.

I have to challenge this. (cost and size are relative... full sized trucks are big and more expensive in general)
According to reliability research, the top full sized pickup trucks are:
People often choose Toyota because of the name, not because of experience with them.
