    It's really a joke in tests like these when they consider the GMC and Chevy to be two different products. They should consider them different trim lines of the same truck and just pick one for the test.

    All in the parking lot buying soccer balls on a sexy unibody limited to 5k tow, bravo.
    I wouldn't be caught seen in that disaster it's so ugly. Yes the swinging tail is cute, allows the soccer balls to just roll out instead of having to bend over to get them out.

    Personal bias. Grew up around bow-tie haters. Spent endless hours hammering on my step-sons shitty Cavalier. When I worked in transportation the Chevy powered busses spent more time in the shop than on the road. They smell funny.

    Let's test trucks as cars! Basically every review that's been thrown up here ibn the last week.

    Don't know anything about the sideline except it's dogshit ugly, but the gm twins im pretty familiar with. I can't think of one thing I like better about then. Certainly not there 2004 interiors.

    I'd rather have a howling diff that can be replaced than a howling looking dog of a Ridge.

    I'm confused. The title of the test is "What's the Best Midsize Pickup for 2016?" So why is the Honda Ridgeline in there?

    I've spent a lot of time in a lit off trucks. I work for the government. One thing I can tell you. The gm mid sizes, any mid size, besides toyota isn't built like there full size counterparts.

    I drove 50k Colorado's that felt like they were a1993 beater already. The quality isn't there.

    Didn't have many full size gms but I owned my own for 14 years, with one out of the norm maintenance item being the window motor.

    I hate the way fords drive but that's subjective. They hold up pretty well. Like the way the newer rams drive. Actually probably the truck I like most to drive with the pentastar.

    Then I got my tacoma this year. Hands down most solid truck ive been in. Best interior, best ride, fun to drive, and sturdiest feeling.

    Tacoma has a reputation for a reason and driving all the trucks and driving them often I can see why.

    As soon as you see the Ridgeline on a list of best trucks you can just stop reading.

    Plus their picture doesn't help either....

    Sounds like experience talking to me. Careful. Trolling can catch things.

    Just seeing the Taco in the background makes that Ridgeline look like a sissy pos.

    I wonder if they'll offer this mod for the Ridgeline?
