2019 Ridgeline

I gave my wife my Forester when I got the Tacoma. Honestly the Forester handles pretty well off road stock. The X-mode they have is interesting and the ground clearance is really good, esp without the rear diff. The whole bottom of the car is flat so it's unlikely you will clip anything. Would I go back? No, not enough mods for it and I like having the bed but as an off road vehicle it can hold it's own on most trails. (Key word, trails. Not a bouldering vehicle or anything like that lol)

 

This would be me. If the new one was out when I bought the taco I would have at least test driven one. What kills it for me is the short bed on the RL. If they ever make one with a 6' bed it could replace the taco when it's time.

 

Nothing wrong with a soccer dad's truck. Apparently there's a niche for it. Am I fan? Nope. But I'm not hating on it either.

My neighbors have one...an early '18. He wanted a truck. She balked at driving one. He said she hated how trucks drive. The RL felt like a car to her...so they got it. Traded their Pilot for it. He freely admitted to me once that my Tacoma was a more manly looking truck.

No hate. But this meme was kinda funny.

 

Sorry you didn't understand what I posted. Here’s one more your speed

 

I remember seeing a couple Concept type trucks from VW and Hyundai but nothing from Subaru, what is it called and when is it due out?

Is this a real truck?

 

Thanks for the link.

 

I agree. They are a facelift away from being a real contender. There is a big demographic that would never get a ridgeline because they want BoF or pretend they rock crawl, but quite a few just think they look bulbous and lame. If they could fix that, then we'd have ourselves a viable option for more people.

 

Breaking news!

2020 Tacoma

 

Holy Crap! That thing is ugly!

 

That looks like that nasty Toyota A-Bat garbage.

 

Ok I’m just joking, but Toyota must have hired some Honda designers because they have some ugly ass vehicles

 

The esthetics police should arrest whoever designed that and give them at least 10 years in jail.

 

Was this one supposed to be not ugly? Lol

 

Looks like a Pontiac Aztek

 

MT is an essential factor.

 

You good with the sedan style ground clearance? In deep snow, that thing is staying in the garage. The rear suspension is also a joke. The list goes on and on for me.
