HOW DARE PEOPLE BUY THE CARS THEY WANT!!! This whole thing is pointless. Who needs a GT3 RS let alone a 911? Who needs a ZR1 or Z07 let alone a Corvette? Who needs a GT350R let alone a GT350 let alone a Mustang GT let alone a Mustang?

You’re right about one thing, the new F150 looks exactly like the last two…

How much is Gawker paying you guys to trash real pick up trucks? I thought this was an enthusiasts website. Sure doesn’t sound that way.

I was getting at your point of “most people that buy trucks have fairly little use for them”. See, where I’m from most people who buy trucks, do use them. I’ve seen King Ranches drive through ditches and corn fields, Platinums loaded to the brim with scrap, and High Countries hauling a 30' goose-neck with an excavator…

It’s almost as if Honda gave Gawker a ton of money this week...

I think a lot of it comes from a very urban based group of writers, and readers, who like the idea of a pickup, but will never need or understand why someone would ever need or want a full size truck. They say, “oh, I could haul all of that with my car, it just might take me a couple of trips”, or, “just rent a…

“But you don’t NEED that” says the guy with a Ferrari and a GT-R in his past, and what, and Aston now?

See the thing is, people enjoy sports cars, it doesn’t matter if they aren’t the most practical things, it’s ok because people enjoy them. Nobody enjoys pickup trucks though so pickup trucks are stupid. /s

Most people buy a truck because they just want a truck. What’s wrong with that?

Of course I haven’t, no one has, not even the people who wrote the article. So why even discuss it’s “ride” when no one has driven it?

Not that Doug’s view is spiteful, but why is there so much hate for pickups on this site? Jalopnik’s motto is “Drive Free or Die,” which means drive whatever you want (as long as it’s a Miata?). Sure, the internet’s primary purpose is to allow us to mock other people we wouldn’t interact with otherwise, but I would…

I have a truck because I enjoy being able to tow our 6000 pound travel trailer wherever I need to when we go camping. Weekend with nothing to do? Throw our dirt bikes in the bed of the truck and go up north for the day. What sucks is any day a person is not using a truck as a “truck” people feel the need to give you…

Live on a farm, have one vehicle for everything: towing, working, daily driving, you name it. Honestly, I’m glad that everyone wants a vehicle that can do these things, cause that means the vehicle I need is actually produced. It makes life for the likes of me much, much easier.

It’s because they have a hate-hard-on for full size trucks. They love to scream “LOL WHO NEEDS THAT” but justify sports cars as family vehicles. They bring up the same dick waving arguments time and time again, and rant on about compensation.

True. Although this is also true: I don’t need an M3, the base 320i would do everything I need it for, pretty much all the time. But, I WANT the M3.

Yeah, people buy what they want. Why is that a crazy concept? My car doesn’t need 500 hp, but I want it. Nobody needs a fast car, but they want one. And nobody who doesn’t use a truck to haul heavy stuff frequently or use it for work needs a truck at all. But people want one. I want a Raptor. Not because I do desert…

Because you can sit in the trunk trunk. Don’t be salty cause you haven’t been in the trunk trunk.

Are you waiting for your plug in to charge while you write this inside a starbucks?

What I learned from this experience is simple: most pickup truck owners don’t care what they need. They care only what they want.

Guys, honestly, what are we doing with the Ridgeline articles this week? Every article says the same thing. “It won’t be a success because pick up truck buyers don’t just buy what the “need””. But you can say that with literally every car that exists. Why are you guys slobbing and knobbing the Ridgeline sooooo hard on…

If the Ridgeline fails, it’ll be because it’s too expensive and buyers will opt to spend a little more to get a lot more capability, even though they’ll never use it.
