Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Review

Why?

 

I feel like the new ridgeline is the bastard child of a lifted minivan that had sex with an el Camino

 

Interesting

 

I saw a Ridgeline last weekend in the nice part of town. The driver looked like a broker or CEO, on his way to the stables to check in on his horses- looked pretty happy, no Tacoma envy evident- actually not terrible looking in person- just not for me

 

I think the first body style looks better than the one that just came out.

Kinda like an Avalanche unibody looking thing. New one is trying to hard to be a min-truck.

 

And she'd be 30 years younger too!

 

AND, the Ridgeline is just the vehicle he travels to the stables with....

 

Subaru makes something similar and isn't trying to pass it off for a truck, which it's not.

 

so why is it a "disgrace", beside that it is not a "truck"? For that matter, does Honda call the Ridgeline a truck?

 

I'm not sure what they call it. But it's a civic with a truck bed on it. If they're not in the same market as the Tacoma then why are we comparing them?

 

Civic's have V6's in the them now? I need one...

 

Because internets

 

This sounds like the truck for you then pal

 

When ever I first got my truck, I showed up with it to one of my mountain bike group rides and everyone was saying how nice a truck it is...then this one guy I know goes congrats on the new truck man...pretty soon im getting one...I was like a Tacoma...he was like no a new Ridgeline....I said "You mean a grocery getter" His face was priceless it went from all smiles to pure disappointment.....I totally burst his bubble...he bought one anyways....

 

I see all this hate for the ridgeline, so I am just going to drop this picture here.
Oh, since Tacoma owners don´t know what this is, that front lever is height adjustable seat.

 

You REALLY have no clue....

 

That's it, im sold.

 

Oh, I also forgot to mention, the RL has a dipstick for transmission fluid.

 

low blow

 

But wait, there's more.
