Mainly FWD.

My Cougar went through far worse than that, probably hauling more weight than those things ever will.

Ridgline?
Truck?




the ONLY ridgeline you could ever pay me to drive is this one



, only because they took the chick parts out of it and made it into a wannabe truck. The stock ridgeline itself isnt even enough to be called a wannabe truck.

Anyways, when im bored later ill have to stroll around that forum for a good laugh.

Sat in one of these ridgelines while my sister was purchasing her new accord. I take her offroading with me so she is familiar with a truck getting used and abused. After we looked at it she told me "You would kill that truck in a month". Ofcourse I would never buy a minivan with a bed, buts its just nice to know even a 20yr old female recognizes it for the POS it is

A month?????
Give me a day with it and tell me to use it like it was my truck........ With in 30 mins I'd be calling them back telling them that they will need a tow truck to come get the Ridgeline.

Actually I think they do have a frame, it is welded rather than bolted to the body though. I am still trying to figure out the point of the darn things though, aside from not worrying about spilled potting soil in the back of a SUV.

Its unibody. Same as the jeep grand cherokee. It has two "U" looking rails that run the leangth of the body but they are part of the body. Every unibody SUV has this, but it is much much thinner than a typical truck frame rail. In the end its nice to reduce squeeks and rattles but it not near as strong as a full body on frame.


And the point of the thing....the world may never know

He told me he didnt know how he got stuck, he thoughts SUV's were made for offroad I was too nice to burst his distorted little bubble so I just said "yeah, you'd think right?"
