Ridgeline vs Tacoma (cont)

I am at the shop putting on the KO2s. Parking next to a Ridgeline. I think I hate it. Call me fanboy, Koolaided, I'm a totally sold on the Tacoma. Not a bit of regret bought the truck.

 

To me. it looks like somebody took a sawzall to the back of a Honda Odyssey. Prob a good option for some domestic partner that occasionally needs to haul a lawn chair or plant from Lowes, uses it for commuting, and locks it in 4wd while off-roading that dirt path to their cabin. Just my politically correct opinion in case anyone here wants to report me to TW HR.

 

Different vehical for different purposes. It's basically a minivan with the back part of the roof shaved off Doesn't suite my taste either.

 

I mean this just looks weird

 

By the looks of the picture, it's way BIGGER!!!!

 

Ridgeline is beyond ugly. Saw one today, you couldn't pay me to drive one of those.


Btw, why is this thread in the 3 Gen Marketplace?

 

It's a Honda Accord that mated with an Elcamino. Thing is disgusting.

 

why is this in the marketplace?

 

I'll agree with most of the post in this thread. However, it would/will do what "most" on this forum require a "truck" to do. I'll wager they (Honda) has way fewer recalls than Toyota.

 

Maybe he's selling his opinion on the Ridgeline? Since I already have the same opinion as he does, I'll have to pass on this deal!

 

God hates the Ridgeline.

 

Saw one out in the wild yesterday, near the mall. Both my son and I nearly Fugly

 

it's even less truck than the previous Ridgeline. More like a Subie baja. Sad

 

Because I can't see shiet from my little iPhone

 

How big is.it next to the Tacoma?

 

Last I saw, people couldn't get them off the dealer lot without the power windows failing. The tailgates were also breaking 1 month out.

Every new vehicle seems to have its issues, all you can do is hope they aren't major....

 

Don't knock the Baja! It's basically a 2nd gen Outback with the back cut off. That platform is tough as nails. Plus it's a longitudinally mounted engine and an AWD system that beats out just about any competitor.

 

I saw one of these out in the wild the other day and it does look like an Odyssey with the rear end cut off. However, it was a bigger overall vehicle than I was expecting it to be.

 

I think it's ugly and for some reason I can't explain, I don't think of Honda as a truck manufacturer. I have a Civic and it's been great. They make fine vehicles that run forever, get good gas mileage and are affordable. I just don't think of them as making trucks (even though they clearly do).

I don't like the looks of it at all, but the cooler in the tailgate is intriguing, if not more than a little gimmicky.

 

The Ridgeline definitely reminds me of the Baja, but I'm not saying the Baja is inadequate or anything. I personally think the Baja is ugly, though.
