    Seems like they're trying to edge their way into that moped market and I personally think it's a bold move.

    That's because they have all the reliability of a Vespa with a bed.

    So Chevy is trying to convince gay guys they need a truck to look Macho for their boyfriend? Well at least Chevy is promoting equal truck rights for all sexual orientations :D.

    Heard they are going after the Subaru market. Perhaps, guys who went from a truck to the Subies for better fuel economy, but now realize they now need a little truck for better gear hauling needs. Throwing crap on the roof all the time sucks... :D

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    Subaru outback.. Twice the truck of a ridgeline.

    Half as gay

    What? Are you mental? Those Subarus are barely taller than a Kia Soul. While I agree that the Ridgeline is just a big car version of Bugs Bunny's Abominable Snowman, and that it's a silly unibody truck wannabe, at least it's high enough in the air for the driver to see further than 5 feet in front of them.

    Damn. I'm tired of being at ground level. No more!!




    I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from. I do, but that's between me and my doctor/car dealer.

    I had a gay coworker who had a ridgeline and her girlfriend had a kia soul.

    I guess they are both pretty lousy excuses for a truck, but if I was buying a car with a bed I would have to pick the outback. At least its bot pretending to be a truck, I came out and said hey there im a car with a bed!

    But I wouldn't want either one :)

    and the record says I have a few mental issues. . What of it? Lol

    The whole midsize market is teetering, I doubt its going away but the best thing we can hope for is an outstanding success for the canyons and the appropriate rebuttal from Yota and Nissan. Chrysler group shouldn't even bother again.

    I love my 2nd gen, but the 120k miles I have been in 2nd gen tacos I have had more problems than most of my other vehicles. NOT to say they are bad. Just not as good as they could be!

    I honestly don't care if the Colorado/Canyon cut into Tacoma sales. I don't really have a dog in this fight- If people are dumb enough to buy from Government Motors, they will only have themselves to blame in a few years. Meanwhile, I feel like my resale value will be in a better-off position than it would have been.

    I hope yours was a unique experience, never had any problems with my other 2, need this 15 to last a long time. If it wasn't for the dirt bike I'd buy a 4runner, still made in Japan, and damn sexy.

    I do love the 4runner. In certain trims. BUT it just can't tow enough.

    And my experience IS rare, I am harder on things than most for sure.

    Yes I do all the maint in the world, but I also work stuff harder than hell.

    The main issue is the things that are not designed to be serviced. I can't maintain them to keep up, its run it until it breaks and replace.

    Big and square. The interior is nice, and the rid is smooth! The outside is pretty ugly on some trim models, but hey its the drivetrain that counts and its all JAP.

    If you get the PRO she'll try harder to give you the ultimate ride :)
