    And they have a big enough mirror to put on your makeup while driving. See that is a joke because only women and people that want to be women buy Ridgelines

    And they have a trunk to put the bodies in!

    I have a 5 lug (I know, lower height). I'm short, old, and have cranky knees.

    I rarely need to get in the bed. I carry an old boat hook to drag things out when needed. When I need to get in, I just use a stool, curb, or sit on the tailgate and roll in. :anonymous:

    It's all good, man. You do you. But if I may humbly suggest, invest in the bed step rather than dump your Taco. Tried one out on a TRD Sport I looked at before buying my SR5. Very nice and comfy to climb up into the bed. Aftermarket ones are reasonably priced and they look easy to install. I'll be picking one up as soon as I decide I am tired of my milk crate.

    What engine and transmission problems have you had with your 3rd gen?

    I've put over 100k miles on mine without issue.

    Nah. It's in my TW cloud. All of us have available space to use and I'm sure I'm in many.

    I currently have ~230 in mine. You?

    It's like Toyota stopped trying after the 1st gen when they offered the flare side with plenty places to step up in to the bed.

    The 4G should have a climate controlled elevator to lift you up in the bed to go with the power tailgate.
