    Well in light of Consumer Reports not recommending the Taco I decided to look at trading in the Taco for something better. Took advantage of having Friday off to go test drive some trucks and decided to pull the trigger on a 2013 Ridgeline. I was blown away with the quality of this vehicle it felt like I was driving an Accord with more ground clearance. The 3.5 was nice and smooth and VTEC made for a much more sporting driving experience. The in bed trunk was really the deal maker for me and will be an excellent place for groceries or other shopping bags. Standard rear locker was nice too. Looking forward to showing you all up out on the trail.

    More believable if you traded for a Prius. Nice try though.

    I hear that after the 5000 mile break-in on a Ridgeline, your testicles -may- descend.
