Honda Ridgeline...the toughest truck

That's funny!

It's a Minivan with a bed. And it's perfect for the market they made it for. People who have dogs, go camping, but want the comfort of an SUV or Minivan for taking the kids to school and going to the office. There's a reason they sell like hotcakes. Bitch all you want about it being considered the toughest truck out there. Do I agree with the article? Fuck no. People who drive ridgelines will never put their shit through the riggers that conventional truck drivers do.

Is it a solidly built vehicle? It's a Honda, that's a no brainer. Is it Rubicon Ready? No, and you're an idiot if you think that's what it's for.

 

I've seen a few in Dartmouth as "work trucks". I think the "trunk" in the bottom of the bed was short sighted, so I asked someone who had one... and he said it was a pain in the ass. He'd have the bed loaded with gear, and realize that the one thing he needed was buried, and the only was to get at it was to unload the bed. If Toyota does release the A-Bat, at least it's "trunk" is a exterior pull out, independent of the bed.

My wife wondered why I didn't consider the Ridgeline when I bought my Tacoma. She had just bought an Accord and Honda's are great, but not for a truck. First off every one of them I looked at when buying her car had a 40K sticker. Second, I think they are ugly as f**k. And third, I wanted a Tacoma 4x4 so if that wasn't what I was getting I would have just kept my Ram. I'm sure they are great for mall crawling, just not for me.

 

Hey, it's the first gen of that vehicle. I do the same thing with shit in my rear cubbies. I'll pile a bunch of shit on there and forget that I need the key to the spline lugs when changing tires.

 

I keep mine with the jack under the seat.

I've got the Child seat there, and the stock jack won't lift my truck high enough to get the tires to clear the ground. That and once you use a hilift you never go back.

But I think people are getting confused. Honda built this thing as a legit mall crawler. It's made to do home depot runs and get the kids to and from soccer. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not and Honda isn't selling or marketing it as anything different.

 

True.

a lot of people are bashing a truck that they have no idea about.. the ridgeline is extremely reliable and after riding in a few, they seem to be very solidly built

 

I'd rock this thing so hard...

 

Ridgeline......what a 40k sticker joke but everyone's got different taste. The honda cross tour is a joke too.

 

your a joke.. did your mother ever tell you

 

Heated Leather seats, dual climate control, comfortable seating for 5. Power everything. Sunroof. Onboard Nav Comp.

Joke?


Surething jeffe.

 

Why is everybody's self esteem wrapped around whether or not a magazine liked their truck?

 

I am TOYOTA through & through BUT now also own a Ridgeline....my dad no longer drives his & my wife loves the dual purpose...... It is the "perfect" truck for Ft.Myers...trash runs,Lowes or a night out to Sannibel.....This thing would tow the Grady White with dual axle trailer without breaking a sweat....Plus its twin....the Pilot towed same Grady from Maine to Florida without a problem.....

Toughest truck...hell NO...but worth the $$$$$.....my Dad thinks so....his 5th Honda and he was a GM addict......now it saves my Tacoma a 2600 mile round trip each winter ....money well spent....


You keep believing everything you read and Obama will get another 4 years to "FIX" the U.S.A.......

 

Usually lurking now a days... Work is busy as hell and the kiddo keeps me pretty occupied

 

Back in your hole traitor!
