    Luckily no. I drove my GTO to the gym today. Weather was in the 70s this morning! Loving this AZ "fall" weather so far this year.

    My favorite part was where they said the frontier made it through the hole on the first try where the Tacoma had to attempt it twice. But of course the fact omitted was the frontier driver was smart enough to lock the rear diff before driving through the hole the first time.

    Frontier is a solid truck. It just looks ancient inside and out

    So you are saying Frontier drivers are smarter than Tacoma drivers....?

    I agree. The Ridgeline is God awful ugly... But again, to each their own.

    Well they are all around $35-40 grand, the real question is which one comes with Vaseline? :rofl:

    If you can't get a Frontier for way less than that (rebates, negotiation) then you must have too much money. The other models have no rebates at least in this neck of the woods. With an 11 year old truck, that's really where the value lies.

    Even if you could get it for 25k, you still have to look at it everyday.

    sorry wasn't directed fully at you, just your average ridgeline owner.
    I wouldn't doubt it is more comfortable around town, it has fully independent suspension so I'd hope its more comfortable.

    I drove the older model just was not a fan.

    when I was at the autoshow last year with my girlfriend she said why don't you look at the nissan truck as well.

    we walked over to it.
    Went inside it and looked at the outside, while inside she looked at me and said please don't buy this truck its so ugly hahaha.

    The problem with the Honda 4X4 system is that it senses when it needs to send power to the rear wheels. Thats why the transmission overheated.

    Why does the 3rd gen transmission overheat?

    I'm sure 1st prize warmed the Frontier's old heart, pacemaker and all. Good for it.

    My wife wanted something less pansy than the Ridgeline so I got her an Odyssey.

    The Odyssey is pretty much just as much a truck as the Receding Ridgeline but with a nice built-in shell.
