what do u think im that stupid??


well, maybe i am but, nevermind

 

Have you driven one? For its intended market - the suburban soccer mom (or dad) who hauls the kids around with an occasional trip to Lowe's for fertilizer or mulch - it'll probably work great.

i have. im in the market for a midsize truck. in the last week i've driven a colorado i-5, dakota v-6 and v-8, tacoma v-6 and ridgeline (for grins). the honda by far has the best ride, but i want a truck, not a car w/ a bed. so far im leaning towards the colorado crew cab(~22K)

 

Friends don't let friends drive wimpy trucks

 

HA! I knew you were board.

 

Heck, my wife uses the Dodge Magnum for that!

Yep, and my wife uses her Durango for the same thing. If you think of the Ridgeline as a Honda Pilot without a roof on the back, however, it probably has a useful place in suburbia - not that most people on a Dodge truck forum would own one.

I have a hard time figuring what makes the ridgeline motor trends truck of the year.. whats all that about? i figured it would at least be a half ton or something more capable than a honda..

 

cause its motor trend. they are a bunch of car guys. they dont care about capability. they care about a soft ride and the pansy irs provides that. it is a awesome ride though!

 

thats true. I have driven a few of them they do ride pretty nice ill give it that much.

 

my mom saw one today, "eww, what the "heck" is that?"

 

darn (can't even say dam here???) ugly "truck" IMO....
You'd get bored with it because nothing would go wrong with it being a Honda.
Thats why the Ferd, Durge and Chebby boards are so active. They break.

 

Exactly my sentiments. Our Pilot is a great ride and well put together. I love my Dodge but I'd take my Pilot across country tomorrow with confidence. The Dodge would need spare V.P.,lift pump,block,(mine's a 53,thanks Cummins for outsourcing to Brazil or wherever to save a couple of bucks,then not owning up to it) Something about firing up the Cummins and pouring on the coal though keeps my interest. Pilot's to **** quiet!

 

the ridgeline does nothing for me, but if i needed another vehicle, i would probably get a honda element y package 4x4 5 speed...

 

are you serious? elements are the worst looking car there is. I'd rather have a scion.
