As a 4-time Ridgeline Owner, that feature is hands-down awesome. I store all my tools in the in-bed trunk so accessing them by swinging the tailgate is very helpful. Having said that the frunk on the R1T (however, I wish it was more level so you don't have to lift the tools quite so high to get in the frunk - I've seen other frunks where the grill of the truck also comes up for that exact reason) is where I will likely end up storing my tools or in the spare tire slot. At least there are options. I wish the dual hinge was available on the R1T but since it's a powered tailgate it might be challenging if the patent by Honda wasn't an issue already.As a long time Ridgeline owner, I can say Honda's dual action tailgate is the way to go. I probably use the swing option more than the fold down as it makes the in-bed trunk much more accessible.
I'm guessing there are patent issues on this as well.
