To be fair, ridgeline is a very good vehicle and will suit most TW members just fine. It’s got a better ride, more power, more room inside and from what I read, better MPGs.

Where the ridgeline really sucks is off-road, good for FSRs but that’s about it. Also it has a spare at the bottom of the bed, which is super inconvenient if you get a flat while having load in the back.

I mean if one can get past it’s horrible looks and lack of off-road capability, then it’s not a bad vehicle at all.

 

If you wanted a truck and ended up with a RidgeLine I think there would be some buyer's remorse issues you'd eventually have to work through. It's as exciting as kissing your sister through a screen door.

 

Because secretly you want a superior truck, the ridgeline. I heard it’s got a better heavy duty minivan engine than the Tacoma has.

 

You are mistaken Serge. My inner child is a midget. I secretly want a Mini Cooper truck...

 

May I interest you in…

 

Yes you can! She's got a nice rack for a skinny girl.

 

Good eye sir.

Who doesn’t like a nice rack, mm.

 

90% of the people complaining on TW would have been much better suited to a Ridgeline. The Ridgeline would handle their unrealistic expectations of a vehicle much better than a Tacoma would. Honda put some thought into that, hence these results. Good on them for it.

100% of the people who’s 1st post is complaining because they did absolutely no prior research before purchasing a vehicle.

 

I was curious what the justification for the -2 stars on safety vs a ridgeline are, seems like otherwise the tacoma woulda came out on top and they don't really mention it in their description other than `and the Tacoma also scored high for safety`.

Looking at the NHTSA.gov site it seems like the Tacoma got 3/5 on "Frontal Crash" (where ridgeline got 5/5) and 4/5 "overall rating" (where ridgeline got 5/5). Everything else was identical.

The more you know.

 

Can fit a 3x5 sheet of plywood in that bed easy!

What is that thing …

 

It’s the 4th gen Tacoma.


A lot of guys would appreciate better MPGs and a smoother ride.

 

If a Tacoma has a retained value score of 8.9, I’d sure like to know what a 10.0 is.

 

So, in other words Tacoma is still the best truck.

 

Did someone say Rack!!

 

I'd like to see that thing pull my boat up a slippery boat ramp.

 

The Prius pickup or the ridgeline?

 

Who TF is "iSeeCars"? Why should I care what they think?

Now, if Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond & James May go on to tell me my Tacoma sucks, I'll start listening

 

The ridgeline. The Prius might just have the torque to do it!

 

Old irrelevant men who are long past their prime and should have been retired years ago?

Wait, what does Toyota use for brakes on the rear of the Tacoma again?
