From memory towing, payload, bed size and fuel economy. Someone else can dig into the finer details, but I think with the Taco you have to pick towing between towing or payload to get similar numbers. Higher payload numbers are only for the 4 banger, and higher towing only the 6. The crew cab Tacoma bed is smaller than the Ridgeline bed (only made in a crew).
I don't own one, last truck I owned from a little mid 90's Nissan King Cab 4x4.

This is what I have my eye on. Tundra is coming out in Hybrid for delivery early spring ‘22 according to insiders and a dealer contact. Just sold my ‘21 Tundra Limited with 3500 miles. Nice truck but turns out I’m allergic to appalling mpg. Plus bought it for 46,500 and cashed 58,000 - although spent 5-6k in upgrades on it. Timing was right so I jumped. Suspect we just saw the top of market and used car prices soften from here. Recently unloaded my trailer for more than paid as well. Feeling light

Off road capability, looks, resale value, and towing are where Tacoma excels over Ridgeline.
Almost eveything else is similar between them.
Oh, and I’m not sure if the Ridgeline comes in manual and it is basically worthless off road in stock form. Not much for aftermarket parts either which the Taco definitely has a shitload of.
Just depends on what you are going to use it for. Definitely a nice ride for around the city and on the highway. Probably very reliable. But I think I’d rather buy a Sienna.

Ride, handling are subjective. I'd much rather drive a taco than a sponge.

The ridgeline has good handling via torque vectoring. Name another truck that does...
Ridgeline is a compelling offering if it meets your needs and your ego’s in check.

Honda AWD system isn’t great. Fit and finish is debatable. Agree with Rev on handling. I looked at and drove just about everything with a bed. No Ridgeline hate here, and certainly a lot of people would be better off with something like that, but they’re not really comparable, particularly if you’re not one of those people.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Trucks.
I guess. I got stuck on a snow covered hill into our neighborhood last winter in a new Pilot that my truck had no trouble climbing, with a new a Pilot in tow. I’ve pulled two other Pilots up that same hill (and some other stuff, but we’re talking about Honda). Maybe tires, but my Subarus with shitty all seasons never had any trouble.

All the AWD systems are different you you can't lump them all into one bucket.
The rear end on the Ridgeline as pointed out is a vectoring system, so it's two wet clutches on either wheel axle side of the ring and pinion. Their sand mode locks or nearly locks that up. I've not looked if guys have hacked it yet but these new systems can be hacked to lock up the center clutch pack to make them 50/50 front to rear then again fully lock up that rear end.

Honda marketing calls it i-VTM4 on the Pilot, Passport, and Ridgeline. It's basically the same as SH-AWD on the Acuras. They are all fantastic AWD systems. Computer takes input from everywhere (throttle position, steering angle, individual wheel speeds, etc) and routes powers to anywhere. Google if you want all the techy details.
It is not the same as Honda "real time AWD" which is a much simpler system.
