Starting a war

Hahah.. Believe it or not, it was the tacoma or the ridgeline.. after HONDA screwed me over with parts for my accord, I hate them in general now.. (traded my 05 accord for the tacoma)

 

Seriously though, the Baja Ridgeline is freaking awesome.



That being said, the stock one is just odd. I would never be caught dead in one.

 

I saw this out in Primm. Pretty cool truck. I also use it in DiRT 2.

 

you traitor!!!

 

LOL

The new El Camino...

+1 rep for you sir

 

They built it well!

 

Hey thanks for posting a link to this article. It was a good read.

I would never trade my Tacoma for one of those, and I like the last statement of the article.

How apropos.

They do have a little ammo from 2006.....

 

My friend calls my tacoma a Camry with a bed.

Of course anything with IFS, he calls a car. I guess I kind of agree.

 

that thing is awesome, it hovers...

 

I have nothing against the ridgelines, but like the rabbit pickup of the 80s, too many of their owners try to compare.... on pavement. Same with Suburus for that matter, all types then smugly try to go offroad and all the "car with a pickup bed" issues crop up when they lack ground clearance and heavy duty components to get them over the first boulders buried on an easy trail.

Leave the cars on the road Honda owners, we will respect you there.

 

My brother has a Ridgline. He is the first to admit that it isn't an offroad vehicle. He bought it as a daily driver that would suit him and his career. Anybody who has ever ridden in one knows that they are a hell of a street "truck". It rides amazing and is very quiet. if I had a choice of what vehicle I would take on a ski trip, I would pick the Ridgline. The interior is well thought out and very nice. Towing capacity is right up with the Tacoma. The bed trunk is awsome for throwing tool boxes, luggage or whatever else into it and still have the bed to load.

With that said, I wouldn't be caught dead driving one!

So, it's front wheel drive, it has independent rear suspension, a trunk, and it's built as a unibody, no frame.

It's just like every other CAR out there...

 

My mistake, but it's still not gona be very strong.

If you look at the rear suspension on the H1, the dif is much higher than the center of the wheel, it's got a lot of clearance, I don't think the ridgeline is built the same way.
