    hello all. I was on the fence between a 2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL-t and Tacoma trd sport. Ultimately in the end ended up with the Tacoma because of the resale value.

    My first impressions is it is definitely a bouncy ride but I love it. I noticed it sits high too sometimes almost the same stock height as some full sizes. Really surprised me. This is my first truck but definitely love it. Used to be on civic forums when I had a 9th gen but am glad to be a part of this community. Thanks all that helped answer a question for me earlier too.

    'Feature' of the Sport suspension from you will read around here. Other models ride differently.

    That's because today's 'mid size' is the same as a full size of very few years ago. Automotive bloat. IE your Civic was as big as Accords of yesteryear.

    Welcome. Nice looking truck!

    This is my second truck. I had fully loaded 12' F-150 with the 5.0 v8, which was a fantastic truck.

    IMG_1355.jpg


    The Tacoma had some BIG shoes to fill. It has. I am VERY happy with the purchase. Love the Tacoma.
