Truck Sales May 2018 Taco surges 21%

Looks like GM wants to be embarrassed only quarterly now instead of monthly.
That is they are only reporting quarterly now probably because numbers look real bad lately.

Poor ridgeline.

 

I see a TON more 3rd gens on the road now. Mostly pros in my neck of the woods for some reason.

None-the-less, the new Tacos seem to be catching on pretty good now.

 

Glad to see the Tacoma sales keep growing while that ridiculous Ridgeline just continues to fade away.

 

I almost got the ridgeline. Then I started looking at tacomas and never looked back.

 

I traded in my 16 Taco for an 18 Tundra, and I think the dealer had my Tacoma sold in less than a week. It wasn't the truck for me, but other people sure do love them!

 

I sometimes debate ditching my 15 DCSB for a Ridgeline...

 

I wouldn't let that become public information lol

 

It'd be a smoother ride, but unfortunately, it'd look like a Ridgeline...

 

Fixed

 

Oh man wish Smitty was still lurking around here to see this, I remember him swearing up and down how the 3rd gen was going to be a complete failure... any day now the sales were just gonna plummet because..... reasons.

 

Or maybe a subaru ?

 

First gen Ridgeline is in higher demand than the current version. Honda really screwed up what was a decent city cruiser for hipster dads.

 

Same here. 3rd Gens are everywhere. I also see a ton of 2018s.

It's funny because some cars, like newer domestics, I don't see on the roads for months, even years, after they come out.

 

The current Ridgeline is just a chopped Odyssey.

 

I see more 3rd gens on the road every day. More impressive I saw a 2nd gen 5 lug reg cab with a lift gate hauling some semi wheels and tires yesterday, I could not get a pic because the police was in the lane next to me, that and an Accord jumped in front of me.

 

Bought mine a few weeks ago in May.

 

Please not another thread where insecure Tacoma owners bash the Ridgeline. I get it, it aint for you. I dont want one either, but for what it is, it is a good vehicle.

 

I actually got to take a Ridgeline on a 500 mile offroad trip when it first came out, its a really sweet truck and I've said even on TW multiple times that if you don't offroad its a better truck in every other aspect.

But the thing is I do offroad, a lot of tacoma owners offroad, and if you're into that and want a pickup bed there's really no other choice than the Tacoma, or a Ford Raptor if you're rich but even those have drawbacks of being BIG, HEAVY and I wouldn't trust taking a Ford twin turbo V6 to the middle of nowhere. Even if you don't need a bed your only other reasonable options new are the Wrangler and 4Runner. Slim pickins for reliable capable offroaders these days.

 

Yeah, I considered that before buying my taco. The technology inside is much better. I just couldn't get over the frontend looks.

 

Woah, woah, woah, you leave my dream Forester 2.0t outta this.
