Boy youve got it wrong. Ive never seen an old guy driving one of those. I think old men have enough wisdom to know they suck. If honda would drop the unibody thing, make the bed a little more bed-looking, and improved the front end, it would be a decent vehicle.

A person here actually compared the Honda to my F-150 as far as towing and load-hauling went.. I laughed real hard at that one.

He went on to tell me that his Honda could do anything my truck could but do it better.

The sad thing is-this guy works as a salesman for Honda. I told him to back his toy up to mine, we would use my pull strap to put them together and I would proceed to pull him all over the place...

The Honda isn't even a truck...

The cap looks pretty stupid, it looks like it doesn't fit well at all. Like it was designed quickly as an afterthought.

Unibody, IRS, v-6, spare in the bed.... so many poor decisions led to this truck being a joke in the market.

I agree. All of the old men around here are either driving Scions (the square ones) or PT Cruisers...

There are two Ridgelines at work and soccer moms own both of them.

Honda just missed the mark on their "truck". I am actually a Honda fan. My wife has had an Accord and is on her 2nd Odyssey. They are the most reliable vehicles we have owned by far. The Accord had 180,000 on it and the Odyssey had 135,000 on it when we sold it. They were both still running like new and problem-free.

Title: I didn't think a Ridgeline could get any uglier

My view: I didn't think people could get any stupider

Toppers should have never been invented in the first place.


I don't know why some people have this obsession of buying a great looking truck (by this I mean domestic trucks) and then putting a topper on the bed.

I think that's more ugly (and STUPID) than the new toyota truck.

Acutally, the Ridgelines are AWD. They are primarily FWD, and switch on demand. But, the fact that it's basically an Odyssey with the back chopped off does not make it a truck. I have said it before and I will say it again, let Honda build a body on frame pickup truck with a V8 and real 4WD as an option with a seperate cab/bed and they would probably sell some of them. Honda reliability is unquestioned, they make great vehicles but when they make abortions like the Ridgeline, they shoot themselves in the foot.
