If you can assist me in adding the other two pickups to the list I would appreciate it. This comparison is for the four-door models of the midsize pickup market.

Replying to: kcram (Jan 18, 2006 6:59 pm) To get started, who feels that the Ridgeline is overpriced for what it delivers? Some say that the Honda pickup is too expensive to compete in the midsize pickup market, but the same can be said for the other Japanese makes in this comparison (all can be optioned to $30,000 or more, yet don't offer the brawny V-8 power (with exception of Dodge) that the full-size trucks do. A case can be made for the full size trucks (with rebates, a Silverado can often be had with 4wd and a V-8 for $25,000 if not less. Let the fun begin. thegrad |

To say that all trucks can be optioned to $30k or more is not a good argument. To me you have to compare the standard features vs. the standard pricing. I have a 2005 Frontier SE 4x4 Crew Cab with only power package as an option, and I was at $24k. How do the other models match up to this?

Replying to: chriscon (Jan 19, 2006 11:24 am) I was just making the point about options because that is how Car and Driver (or was it MT?) tested them. Honda was actually not the most pricey when basically equipped comparably. The ranking from first to last went as such Honda Ridgeline (On basis of ingenious idea of trunk, lots of room, great handling) Nissan Frontier (Only entry with leather, with great steering) Toyota Tacoma (Had longest bed but iffy handling) Dodge Dakota (Needed more power despite most cylinders, also lacked ABS with its $32k price) Chevrolet Colorado (Significantly under-powered with CHEAP interior) |

Replying to: chriscon (Jan 19, 2006 11:24 am) When equipped with similar hardware, the Ridgeline costs about as much as a similar Tacoma or Frontier. The thing that sets the Ridgeline apart is that the base model is still fairly well equipped. There is no stripped, 2wd model of the Honda. So perception suggests that it is expensive even though the reality is not so bad.
