I dont wanna be the guy that kicks the hornet’s nest here, but I see a common theme here.....Car-like trucks don’t historically make great trucks. I guess Ridgeline and Maverick notwithstanding. For all the praise we collectively have for small trucks, it doesn’t seem like anyone really has an overwhelmingly positive…

Thank you. I will not stand nor sit for 2nd gen Ram slander. 

I’m sorry, but my 17-year-old Sierra 1500 extended cab is the ‘78 Lincoln Mark V I never had. Body on frame, RWD, 5,000 pounds, quiet, and ignores most bumps.

I will be perma-banning whoever said the Dodge Ram

Twister was a good sales pitch too.

In a high trust society these are fine, in most US cities these will be vandalized into oblivion:(

Gets a pass? What are you talking about? They’re getting raked through the coals on forums, blogs and vlogs, etc. I’ve never heard so much chatter of one manufacturer losing the plot. And that’s probably precisely because they’ve had such a stellar reliability reputation. Similar shit happened to Kia/Hyundai, and…

If don’t need to tow a bunch, go way off-road, or feel macho they are really great trucks. Had one as a rental and was really impressed at how many things it excelled at.

It would only have that much downforce at 150 MPH. It’s not gonna hit that on the climb. Regeneration will do wonders for deceleration, and going uphill has a remarkable effect on your braking performance.

Any diesel Bro Truuuuuuuuuk.
Seriously, if you drive one of these things, fuck you.

Aside from it’s less than stellar gas mileage, the ridgeline is a pretty awesome vehicle. Make a hybrid version that gets better gas mileage and I’d buy one.

Almost everyone would disagree with you about the Ridgeline. It’s the truck that most people who think they need a truck, actually need. It’s got 5000lbs towing; the cabin of a Honda Accord; a decent bed with locking, waterproof underbed storage. With the gate down and some straps you can haul plywood, bikes, etc...…

Despite America being addicted to black/white/grey outside, I appreciate automakers bringing more reds and blues to the interiors.

In fairness, $71k is the new $51k

Goose joins the chat....

The salesman for my first travel trailer gladly told me about “the meth’d up Amish”. That’s what they called the guys who build them. He said they just bang them out as fast as possible without regard for anything but production numbers because they were suppose to do so many a day, and they were gakked on meth all…

I spoke to the service manager at our local RV spot in the parking lot as they were fixing a water pump issue for the third time in six months. He said that the manufacturer (a well-known one) designs their rigs around a planned use life of 42 trips and that we should count ourselves lucky if we get anything beyond…
