Almost New truck-HONDA

[airedale]

Well after 14 years of aggravation of owning a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 I decided it was time to get a replacement. I have been studing and looking over what has been available for several years and finally made up my mind that I was going with the Honda Ridgeline. Was bummed out when they stopped producing them in 2014 and happy when they did a bit of a redesign in 2017 and brought them back. It is the only truck with a unibody and many traditionalists in the truck world scoff at it but for me it will do everything I need a truck to do. And after dealing with that Dodge for so long this Honda makes me feel like I have died and gone to Heaven. 

Below are pics the dealer took, she is a slightly used  2017 with 10000 miles, took delivery last Friday.

Nice rig.  I always liked the looks of them.  I have my second Nissan Frontier and have had great luck with them.  It might not be the favored Ford or Chevy but I seem to have a lot less issues with my truck than most.  Honda is def a proven vehicle, good luck with it.

I like it. The last re-design was nice. I almost bought one last year... but the dealer was steadfast on his price so I walked. Congrats to you.

Nice truck, it's a Honda, so it should be very good to you!

I drive a 14-year-old bare bones truck and every time I get into a new vehicle I feel like a time traveller whisked to the future. The technology is crazy cool these days.

Nice truck.

I've always liked the looks of them, my wife has a CRV and loves it. I think a Ridgeline is in my future.

Sharp looking truck, and Honda is top notch. As far as not being a "truck"- I think you made the right choice for you if it works. I am amazed at the people who buy 3/4 ton diesel pick up to haul groceries.

This Honda is the tenth pickup truck I have owned in my lifetime. I have had a cross section of most truck styles and makes through the years from little ones to pretty big ones and coming away with personal preferences for my actual needs. 

I do like four or all wheel drive for winter driving and for some back-gravel road use getting to hunting and fishing spots. I do not plan on driving the Baja 1000 or doing any rock climbing or monster truck rallies. No big camper or heavy boat to tow, just a dump-equipment trailer that is never loaded near the 5000 lb limit the Honda has for towing. The Ridgeline's 1600 lb weight capacity is good enough for the occasional trip to the feed and home stores.

The Honda is really a combination of my four favorite pickups, A Toyota Hilux, An extended cab Chevy S10, A Ford Ranchero and a Jeep J10 with quadra trac full time 4wd.

Loved the little Toyota and S10  trucks for driving, handling and maneuverability, 99% of the time they could carry anything I needed them to haul. The Ranchero was like driving a luxury car because it was car based, but was not good off road and could only haul 800 lbs, some air shocks upped the weight some and it earned it's keep. The Jeep was my favorite full size, it drove really nice and could go just about anywhere and I liked the Quadra trac full time four wheel drive.
