Replying to: bamaboy4 (Feb 26, 2007 6:42 pm) I'd pick any of the other vehicles in this discussion before adopting the GM twins' reliability problems and cheapo materials. If you don't do a lot of off-roading, I'd go with a Ridgeline (they are available for well under invoice I believe). If you want to tow or do some serious off-roading, I'd go with the Frontier or Tacoma. If you need V8 power, and ONLY if you need V8 power, would I go with the Dodge Dakota - only to tow though.

Replying to: maple2 (Mar 06, 2007 3:32 pm) Except of course for the Colorado/Canyon. Curiously when I drive in my brother's Ridgeline we've been approached twice with questions and admiration. And thats the few times i'm with him. In my trusty Frontier I'm ignored. You do want about $6000 off though. GM and Ford are losing billions producing 2 million trucks so trying something different probably isn't all that stupid. --jjf if you want to be ridiculed and constantly made fun of go ahead and get the ridgeline. very poor attempt at cracking the truck market by honda imo otherwise any of the other choices would be fine

Replying to: maple2 (Mar 06, 2007 3:32 pm) For what it is designed to do and the market it is after, it works ! For some reason, some people hold onto the idea that all P/U trucks should look like they always have, ride like they always have and handle like they always have. And those people will not change their minds, at least not openly! However they will ridicule those that don't agree with them. However when the young ladies are swarming all over the Ridgeline owner. Too bad for the "Square Truck" guy!

Replying to: moparbad (Mar 07, 2007 8:27 am) My last 2 trucks were a Red 96 Ram Sport, then a White 98 Ram Sport. Really enjoyed both as TRUCKS! However the Ridgelines are "Chick Magnets"! It can really get embarrasing. Walk out of school and there are several of the better looking cheer leaders sitting on and in the Ridgeline. Walk out of work and females are waiting. If you have a girlfriend or wife this could be hazardous to your health! Meanwhile the conventional truck owners are all gathered together saying "UH HUH...We bad, We bad"! Sorry couldn't help myself. Forgot to take the medication! Kip Replies to this message: moparbad (Mar 07, 2007 2:47 pm) kipk (Mar 07, 2007 7:28 pm)

Replying to: kipk (Mar 07, 2007 8:47 am) However the Ridgelines are "Chick Magnets"! Perhaps they like the Ridges better than Rams and Tacos and Canyons. Replies to this message: kipk (Mar 07, 2007 7:28 pm)
