Literally an Odyssey with a bed. No thanks.

>>15734701
If it was cheaper then people would maybe buy it. But a used regular pickup is going to be preferred

In reality, 90% of truck drivers don't need trucks. But that's not the point.

I'd rather have a real truck with a usable bed.

>5 foot bed
Why?

>>15734759
>muh "real truck"

The only reason these don't sell. Consider how most trucks owned by suburbanites are just family grocery getters, a Ridgeline is literally all they need. And it'll still have plenty of towing power to haul a boat/trailer.

>>15734790
Most people don't need more than a 90 hp 2-door shitbox, but things are called "luxuries" for a reason.

Anon that's pretty unsafe when getting on a highway. How are you supposed to pass other cars in a safe and efficient matter and get places in reasonable time.

>>15734820
Most suburbanites rarely leave a 10 mile radius, why would they need a fast car to go on a highway?

>>15734701

It gets the same mpg's as a real truck with a V8 and costs more... What's the point? A Pilot would be a lot more useful compared to that abomination.

>>15734820
I drive a 3400 pound, 109 BHP (when new, 27 years ago) truck. It's really not that bad. You don't end up doing a whole lot of passing.

>>15734825
Hmm you do seem to make a point. Motorcycles should be more popular then.

Good mpgs, inexpensive, low power but with the low weight actually faster than cars. Many third world countries utilize a much higher percentage of motorcycles. But people think they're unsafe and would rather drive their tanks around.

>>15734840
>Many third world countries utilize a much higher percentage of motorcycles. But people think they're unsafe and would rather drive their tanks around.

Have you ever been on Liveleak or a gore thread on /b/? That alone should make you never want to ride a motorcycle. Keep in mind it's normal to see multiple road pizzas a day in third world countries.

Not a false statement but it's still a fucking gay truck.

Once a work tool with few creature comforts, in the 1950s consumers began purchasing pickups for lifestyle reasons and by the 1990s less than 15 percent of owners reported use in work as the pickup truck's primary purpose.[2] Today in North America, the pickup is mostly used like a passenger car[3] and accounts for about 18 per cent of total vehicles sold in the US.[4]

>>15735104
NOT

>>15734701
I like these trucks. They should sell stripper versions with steelies. A commercial workhorse version. And they should tune the V6 for a 5000rpm powerband

>>15735639
And how about a Turbo DI K24 Eco Dreams I4 option with 350tq at 1200rpm

>>15734701
Totally correct, however it's not about need it's about want and nobody wants a faux pickup

It has a formed boxed frame section built into the unibody which combined makes it very rogid. It's only inferior to BoF in that you cannot separate the two.

Because for the 97% of the time you're driving on the road, you'll be much more comfortable in the Ridgy, Matter of fact, you'll be more comfortable off road too.

Which is great for you. Congrats. I tow a track car and a bike, tops. Most I've ever thrown in a bed was 20 sheets of drywall. The Ridgeline is working out a lot better than the POS 2009 Silverado I had. Seriously, fuck Chevy. And fuck Chevy dealers.

>>15734840
No, please no more people who don't know or deserve to ride. The majority of new riders (Chad with the brain of a nigger, stronk independant badass womyn, and Dr. Mid-life crisis) have zero idea of what their doing, and think it's riding a fast bicycle, and that you ride it just like you drive a car.

Then they often buy a 'sportsbike' ducati or ninja that's minimum 600cc, and often up to 1000c, then blast into the road not really knowing how to control a heavy road bike, and thinking that they are as good as a professional after learning to not drop the clutch everytime they take off.

This is how natural selection works, as they usually don't last long when they think like this. If they survive, then it's because of a crash that's entirely their fault (thinking they can go 100mph on wet roads and just jam on brakes when they get scared), and they swear off riding again, as well as cucking their kids from learning safely and properly because "it's too dangerous"

I think the new ridgeline is meant to replace the element
honda knows they can't compete with ford/chevy/dodge when it comes to trucks so they're making a niche product

i've got a 2001 element that I love and the ridgeline appeals to me in the same way the element does

Taotally agree with you OP. I see people going to work on empty bed trucks and those take so much fuel and shit. Don't try to shit on me with he F150 EcoBoost. It's shit too. It's still big and heavy. Do you really need such a big truck?

Actually the Ridgeline is the sweet spot and a wise practical choice.

>>15736088
Fine and a vice choice, man. Congrats on your purchase.

Sometimes having sound judgement really sucks, /o/.

>>15736339
while neither is particularly masculine, the diesel cheby has best in class towing and is ever so slightly more capable offroad. the only thing the ridgeline has over it is the interior

It's AWD and unibody... So in other words yuck. Hell, the last unibody truck was that Ford in like the 50's or something that didn't even look good

>>15737674
a guy who works for me just bought two of those unibody pickup trucks, the cancer is so bad i don't think he will be able to get them out of the field without destroying them

there are no floor panels left in the cab or the box and there is ancient bondo peeling from every seam

ugly ass trucks anyways, not sure what the draw is

>>15737674
Not true. Chevy, for example, builds a uni body truck but doesn't sell it in the States because of the "Muh Truck is Muh Manhood" crowd. Why sell something cheaper if a 30-something in TN is willing to spend $50k on a cowboy limosine.

They're assembling it within the US. No chicken tax. Hardly unusual these days, even for the "import" brands.

The big 3 stopped selling small trucks because it's more lucrative to sell bigger trucks.

Probably not, but there might be some kind of classification loophole/workaround (like the PT Cruiser).

Keep in mind though that even with similar dimensions you'd be looking at more modern "style" and construction techniques. I'm imagining something like a Juke with a tiny pickup bed bodged on behind the front seats.

>>15740209
Fix it at a body shop like any other normal body repair?

Odds are, insurance will total it either way. their repair calculations aren't going to factor whether or not you can take it to Juan's chop shop and get a whole "new" bed swapped on for a few hundred bucks.
