Who has driven the NEW Ridgeline?

...And what do you think? Pros and Cons?

 

Has

 

ohhhh fcuk

 

I haven't. But interested to see if anyone else has and what their thoughts are.

 

I have not. No real desire as its pretty much a car that looks like a truck. They don't even have a 4x4 option based on the review
Video I saw...

 

Go see what they have to say here - http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/. It might be something of a circle jerk, but prolly not any worse than what goes on here. We all have our favorites.

 

Looks like a mini van with the back cut off.

 

Is it even on the lots yet?

 

Did you guys hear it has torque vectoring?

 

.

Had a 2013 Ridgeline and loved it ... waiting for test drive results for NEW 2017 model ...

But I will still keep my Tacoma ...

Wasn't Honda only selling like 1000 Ridgelines per month?

 

...^^^... IDK ...big Honda dealer here had maybe 10 when I bought mine. They were not super popular with guys who wanted a true pickup. Honda is planning to sell a lot more now I think.

It is kind of SUV pickup with high quality and excellent 4WD (really AWD with a rear locker). Not for serious off roading.

Great on the road in rain and snow at low, medium and high speeds too with all 4 wheels pulling when necessary. (kinda like a Subaru pickup would be)

Why is this in the 3rd Gen section anyway???

 

Because like most things in the 3rd Gen section this thread is talking about shit.

 

Okay

 

Yup. Ratio was like 8 to 1. For every EIGHT tacos sold Honda would sell ONE ridgeline.

 

hey its got a cooler in the bed

 

Blah blah blah it's a minivan blah blah blah get a real man's truck blah blah blah resale value blah blah blah you have a vagina if you even consider buying a ridgeline


That's usually how these threads go right?

 

My dad had a 2008 ridge line with all the bells and whistles. I drive it quit a bit and loved it, even had a rear locker. Drove a lot smoother than the Tacoma. Liked the two way tail gate and the built in lockable trunk in the bed. Hauled ass with the 3.5 vvti engine. Never got over 18 mpg though. Inside felt like a German touring sedan with the heated leather seats. Can't wait to see some folks get a hold of the older version and put suspension and bigger tires on them. They should make a great off roader once the price comes down on the used ones.

 

It's nice to have fulltime AWD and a bed you can load a refrigerator, washer, dryer and Barcalounger into if necessary. It has some appeal. The thing can tow also.
