Please Convince Me To Buy a 2016 Tacoma over the 2017 Honda Ridgeline

i had to make the same choice. i really wanted the Ridgeline but since they stopped making them in 2014, i was not sure what the redone 2017 might be like. I decided on the 2016 Tacoma Limited. the sun roof sold me on that model.. but it cost me 40k. Not sure what an equal model Ridgeline might cost you. I've always owned Honda's and a few Cheve's... love them but wanted a real truck this time. I've now put 2k miles on it and other than the strange early shifting into 5th and 6th gear, love it to death. Heading down to San Fran in a month, that will be my first big road trip. Will see how it goes.
I agree, drive both and see what fits your needs to decide. Good luck!
