    I work for Honda R&D. I bought a new Taco over the brand new Ridgeline after waiting 6 months for the Quicksand color in the trim level I wanted. Was told to order one from Toyota, but ended up buying a white TRD off road almost two weeks ago.

    Yep, I sure would, Regardless of what trolls on an internet forum says

    You have to learn to sift through BS that people come up with, you own something that they don`t, they think what they have is superior to yours yet yours has the latest technology but theirs is better. LMAO:rofl:

    I am sure that some issues are legit but I also feel that a large portion of the BS about 3rd Gen`s is made up BS from internet clowns.

    I wouldn't buy a 3rd gen until they fix the issues and that ugly ass front end. Also I don't want to turn into a shitty and bitch about it for the rest of my life.

    Personally I would make purchase again also, owned a Chevy Vortec Max for 10 years prior to this truck, actually test drove the Colorado. Tacoma won out over the Colorado in my book for the looks and stance.

    Exactly, I have to admit it helped me get my few small issues corrected, but it also keeps me paranoid looking for other issues I don't have.

    I would buy again. Love my truck and it's a blast to drive.

    I use this site for information and toward that end, I've learned a great deal. I simply disregard the trolls and negativity

    I'm not really satisfied with my truck(see reasons in earlier post), but because I was so eager to get out my GMC that had a factory installed 6" lift I am upside down big time. So I guess I'm stuck unless I get my hands on some CASH!

    Yet, if I somehow locate the "cash tree" I have no idea what I'd get. The Colorado/Canyon is nice but I could feel the lack of build quality in my 2014 GMC Sierra. It had a squeak under the dash that drive me nuts! I honestly should have kept my old 2000 Tundra. It was the perfect size and although it was 15 years old with a 158000 miles it felt like it was good for another 158K....Damn...Damn...Damn!!!!!!
