    You have no idea what is under the Camo, they do all that stuff on purpose so you cannot tell.

    True, but look at the basic dimensions. It's a big vehicle in general. A two door variant may be a little more appealing, at least to me. I guess we will see what they come out with.

    I admit, I am heavily biased against Jeeps. I never had good luck with any of mine.

    your wrong, as much as I do not like Wranglers. They are as popular and in the same demand as the Tacoma. There Re sale value is as good as Tacoma as well. The only thing that Tacoma does better is they are a little bit more reliable.

    Have you priced Rubicons? I'll bet the majority of these trucks will be in the 40's.

    "2017 Honda Ridgeline
    Manufacturer image
    [​IMG]


    CARS.COM

    Vehicles Affected: Approximately 9,200 model-year 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup trucks manufactured between April 1 and Aug. 11, 2016 and equipped with all-wheel drive

    The Problem: Water entering the rear wiring harness through the connector located under the truck-bed drain hole could cause the connection terminals to corrode, possibly increasing electrical resistance. If this happens, the vehicle stability assist system could unexpectedly activate, increasing the risk of a crash.

    The Fix: Dealers will inspect the rear wiring harness and related components, replacing them as necessary for free.

    What Owners Should Do: Honda will begin notifying owners on Jan. 24. Owners can call the automaker at 888-234-2138 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info."

    It is hard to take the whole JD Powers thing seriously. There must be something else dragging Honda down as other car companies use those air bags too.

    I am more concerned about long term quality then initial quality.

    I had one of those Jeep trucks in the mid '70's and I have just two words for that truck.
    IT SUCKED! Jeep will do the Jeep thing and put as little into the truck as possible with regards to quality. My guess is that it will be no comparison to the Tacoma and zero threat.
