    Like, so many.
    So you really just gonna generalize every owner of a third gen like that? You gotta get out more if you haven't seen a third gen off road.

    Just throwing a little shade. 3rd gens are tried and true and owners seem seriously enthused about their trucks. Probably more off road their 3rd gens than those who had 2nd gens by the vehicle being so popular alone.

    Still he Ridgeline has some major benefits compared most other makers of mid sized trucks, most of which never see more than a fire road.

    ...especially the Tacoma which is by and large a 15-16 year design :crapstorm:

    this and that...
    @MDFM31: ill retract my statement and say powersports AND powerequipment then. ironically enough i do have a honda generator, just a small one for emergencies and that badboy is whisper quiet. i havent had the chance to put it through its paces since i wasnt afforded an opportunity yet lol. good catch though!

    as per topic. since my sport is a street build, and the ridgeline is more suited for those of us that dont want to take our trucks offroad, ill go down and see about grabbing a ridgeline with manual trans. oh wait...

    The Ridgeline is like one of them East German ‘female’ tennis stars from the 80’s that could put a tennis ball through the side of a tank.

    It’s the Lola of midsize trucks. “I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand, how she walked like a woman, but talked like a man.” (Ray Davies)

    I know I’m gonna get hell for this on here but I think the ridgeline front end looks an awful lot like a hilux.

    That is so very beautiful. If it comes in Front wheel drive, with a 3 speed manual and locker, I’m in.

    I'm still a fan of the Ridgeline. It wasnt for me or my needs, but there are so many pavement* pounding half ton owners out there that haul boxes at most that would be better served by a Ridgeline for their urban truck needs.

    I just dont think their machisimo would handle it, so they choose to suffer in F150's and Silverados instead.

    I think you just described like 98% of all truck owners. Maybe once zuckerberg/gates/bezos cabal assumes power, Ridgelines will be mandated for everyone? Kinda looking forward to it honestly.

    Still an ugly truck nothing like even the SR Tacoma. The Tacoma is really the only midsize truck that has the aggressive look. The Colorado and the Ranger look like they came from the same mold plain.
