According to a lot of the comments, this is what you get when you drive a Honda Ridgeline

I would look at more separation between the two cars. Think of one as your big-ass shit hauler and the other as your around-town grocery getter that gets great MPG and can still fit car seats and a load of groceries.
We have a Leaf and an Outback. But we made those fleet decisions with 1 kid. With 2 kids, we wish we had gone Sienna instead of Outback. We live in a dry climate compared to you, so keeping muddy shit out of the interior isn't a big consideration.
You could easily get the new AWD Prius or PHEV crosstrek as your grocery getter and reserve the long bed Taco/Gladiator/Colorado for road trips.
The lease deals available on the Gladiator are insane right now, by the way. FCA is assuming the residuals will be through the roof. I would try to at least test drive that and the Colorado if I were kicking tires on the Ridgeline and Taco.

All that's true, but it's a longer wheelbase and more bed than you get with the Taco. And it tows more. If you're shopping for a pickup for medium-duty offroading/mulch hauling/mountain bike road trips, that's pretty much exactly what it's for. None of these "small" pickups are terribly practical for kid duty.
FCA is gonna print money with it.

a.) I'm pretty sure that doesn't change the Taco's wheelbase. Just more rear overhang and crappier departure angle
b.) Does the long bed taco have as much bed as the Jeep? IDK. The standard double cab bed is definitely much shorter. Go spec it out if you're in the market.
c.) Of course the gas mileage sucks. All these little trucks are pigs. Maybe the new Ranger does okay because you can only get it with the turbocharged 4-banger, but I doubt it.
d.) I didn't say you have to like it or buy it! We've already acknowledged that the child-hauler for this scenario is the Sienna and I think that's what I would get were I in OP's shoes. I just said I'd cross-shop it if I were kicking tires on a new Taco given the lease residuals.

Ha.
Op is like 30 with no kids and wants something with capable off road ability and able to haul some mulch.
Sienna all the way.
Rolling around in a minivan with no kids huh?

Those lease deals are nice. The only downside is that a convertible top in the PNW might not make sense.
Frontier/Taco/Ranger/Gladiator/Colorado are all fun little trucks that will hold their value well and credibly carry a car seat or two when the time comes.
