    I like the new ridgeline, my dad has one now and I have always liked it. This one is just better looking without the weird avalanche style

    I like it. The Tacoma was at the top of my list, but it's possible the Ridgeline may take that spot. I'll be interested to see the towing capacity. If it can match the Tacoma's then the Ridgeline may be my best option. I would rather have 4WD as opposed to AWD, but AWD would probably handle any situation I would get into. I'm not crazy about the compact spare. A full size is much more practical on a truck.

    Since I am not a hard core off roader, I will give the Ridgeline a close look when its out. Maybe Ford and Nissan will have their mid size trucks out by then.

    I liked my 06 Tacoma. I do more driving down FS type roads where 4x4 comes in handy sometimes and paved driving.. I haul less and less each year to the dump, so a large bed is not that critical. With what I have read here and other forums, I am inclined to wait a year to see how things shake out.

    Blah, that black, red, white body stripe looks 1970's. Those taillight lens reminds me of my Ultraman toy from for the 70's. Too much plastic gimmickry, a year from now that would look like some kids project car with cheap aftermarket accessories.

    Really like the Ridgeline's under bed tool box and swing out tailgate. That is it.

    Warrior is pretty cool. I feel like the designers thought "how close can we make this to a ford raptor without them getting pissed and suing us?"

    Name across grille, headlight shape, raptor grill lights. It's the little things, but those are some of what make it look pretty cool. I was looking at Titans before my tacoma. Got lucky and my grandfather was selling his Tacoma. That killed my titan interest back then. Still like the truck though.

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Front wheel drive with torque vectoring to all 4 wheels...not for me. But I will admit, with the exception of that accordion style storage bin between the seats, the interior looks nice. I like boxier front ends, so not a fan of the exterior looks.

    Perfect for my use: load my motorcycle and go cross country.. Never going off road, don't need body on frame, leaf springs, solid rear axle or drum brakes :D

    It's all wheel drive with torque vectoring OR front wheel drive for those who don't want to spend $$ on AWD.

    With a load in the box, wonder if there will be torque steer when starting off from a dead stop?

    I had a first gen RidgeLine and it wasn't bad for what it was. The new one looks better inside and out back, but I don't like the front-end.

    Now for the Nissan Titan Warrior XD - I'll take that today and twice on Sunday. That thing is SICK! It looks modern and mean.

    I've always despised the Ridgeline, and this one just looks like a Honda Pilot with a bed. And its AWD, not 4WD, so I'm highly unimpressed. Only nice thing is the interior. (yes, I have an anti-Honda bias. No, I will never overcome that and test-drive a Ridgeline)

    As for that Titan Warrior, I was never a fan of Nissan trucks, and I never liked the Titans, but the new Titans already caught my eye (2016+), and I was pretty impressed. Now THIS one looks like a beast. Just imagine if they offer it with that Cummins v8 :eek:

    I like being in a conventional pickup. Not trucky enough for me even though I dig Honda and it's got some nice features. Glad I ordered my 16'.

    My 2016 Tacoma might have a minivan motor but at least it does not look like a minivan. No thanks.
