And Honda sells it, as a truck? I take it the people buying it aren't really truck people?

 

[MazerRackham]

There's also a 4WD version (I think).

 

[mrSHEiK124]

It's like a Pilot with the back chopped off

 

[Gunslinger08]

According to Honda's website, every 2007 model is 4WD.

There are no "truck people" anymore. Just look at the H3, and the rows upon rows of pristine, shiny trucks being driven in the city by 120-lb women. They neither know nor care which wheels are driven. They certainly won't be putting anything in the bed. If anything, they'll think it's a good thing, because "FWD is safer, right?":roll:

Real 4WD, or just FWD with a couple of pencil-thin shafts to the rear tires, CRV-style?

 

[mugs]

Honda still sells the Ridgeline? :Q

Whenever I see a truck that is newer than 2003 without any scratches or dents in it I just laugh.

I hear you. My dad got mad at me for throwing stuff in my truck bed without a bedliner or any kind of protection. IT'S A TRUCK! they're meant to get abused.

The Ridgeline is not a truck. It's a wannabe. And as far as I know, the rear driveline is weaksauce.

The S2000, generally considered the best sports car in any segment short of a 911. :thumbsup:

I think thats the only RWD that Honda makes.

Owning a ridgeline is grounds for man card revocation.


BTW....I drive a '92 Dodge with a 6" lift and 35's. I'm looking for bigger tires because I can stuff 40" tires on there I think. Comes complete with man card badge holder, bumper the size of small states, and winch.

overcompensating for something eh?

 

[Gooberlx2]

The Ridgeline was never meant to compete with other work trucks. Honda knows what market they're trying to reach.

 

[Jawo]

I LOL at the "lockable in bed Trunk." WTF....the liner will NOT be able to support any weight. It only proves that this is not a truck, but an open back SUV. Kinda looks like the failed Lincoln Blackwood. Its the ugliest truck FTL!

 

[xanis]

The Ridgeline is a wannabe truck. People who want a puropse-built, durable and 4WD vehicle will buy a REAL truck.

 

[Spineshank]

I barely see trucks around here anymore. Everyone just has a SUV. In fact yesterday i counted 8 SUV's in a row in front of me and 3 behind me.

Amusingly enough many people would ask the same question of you.

 

[I Saw OJ]

You dont need your truck to be RWD to haul your kids to soccer games.

 

[spaceman]

the ridgeline is right up there with the pontiac aztek as vehicles that should have never been concieved.

 

[edro]

*Cough*

Honda is giving the best of both worlds to a huge sector of people. People who want the reliability, fuel economy and innovation of a Honda, and the hauling capacity of a truck.

No, a Ridgeline won't climb rock walls or haul your herd of steer over a mountain like in all of the Chevy and Ford commercials. It will last 3 times as long and still haul over sized items.

If they weren't $30,000, I'd get one.

eh not true, even if you are going to haul stuff, rocks, dirt, large appliances, etc, it wouldn't hurt to take precautions such as a bed lines, rhino lineing, and some cardboard on top of either. the less you mess up the bed with dents and scratches the longer the vehicle as a whole will prob serve you not to mention retain more value for resale

LMAO.
ive seen many domestic trucks well over 200k and lots and lots in the mid 100's plowing, towing etc.


unless you have stats to back this claim up, ill have to assume you are just a hater of american trucks/ or a honbda fanboy

the ridgeline might last to 200k if you drive it like a civic.
