it lets them admit that trucks are now for yuppies

It has that crossover vibe to it but I'm fixed on getting on once I get to my home in California.

>>15762799
why would you do that?

They don't want to face reality

>>15762787
It looks like a minivan with the rear cabin cut off and I hate minivans.

>>15762801
Because I think it's a sensible purchase. I never do too many offroading and I own an IT repair business so little tech should be carried here and there and this vehicle seemed a cool choice.

>>15762812
the other part dummy

Because it's a minivan with a truck bed.

>>15762812
What if it rains when you have servers in the back?

Though I admit it would have been useful for when I bought that full rack

>>15762827
Minivan owners haul more shit than truck owners

>>15762833
That wasn't the question

>>15762852
You never asked a question

>>15762856
OP did, dickhole.

>>15762833
Yea, cause minivans tend to have little shits shitting themselves in there than in trucks.

>>15762859
What does my response to you have to do with OP's question?

>>15762866
Nothing. That's why I said that wasn't the question. Don't you have some crayons to eat?

>>15762812
You have no use for a truck then

10k too expensive for what it is. Hyundai is gonna eat their lunch when they come out with the santa cruz

>>15762812
A panel van seems like a better choice then any truck

>>15762913
It would be pretty damn hard making a truck that seats 5 with a nice interior for $20k

its amazing how much hate a single shitty looking pickup can generate. it kinda reminds of of those shitty small suvs europeons love so much except this is the pickup version of one

>>15762829
>What if it rains when you have servers in the back?
>rain
>in California
Don't tease me anon

bro truck owners refuse to admit that pickup trucks are for insecure yuppies now, they don't want to face the fact that owning a stupid truck doesn't make them a man

>>15763239

riding higher is cool and trucks look cool. its not all about utility

desu i mostly use the bed of my truck to put the tailgait down, lay down in there, and go tanning on my lunch breaks

>>15762787
Because unless you are a farmer this can do everything you would ever want to do, while also being practical and economical than much larger trucks.

>>15762787
because secretly they know it's all the truck they need and they opt for the hd shit instead to hide their crippling insecurity

>>15762887
That wasn't the question

honda's trucks have never done it for me. there is always something off about them

big fan of toyotas though

>>15762787
Because they're doing to trucks what they did to SUV's: Neuter the fuck out of them to where they're no long usable as they were intended.

Fucking Normies and not knowing what a car is for.

>>15763467
Good thing they aren't a car.

Because the old one was a Unibody. Honda had a LOT of potential when they came out with the Ridgeline, but instead they made a faggot Subaru Baja/ Explorer SportTrac thing. Plus, they were FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, something you /o/ faggots can't stfu about, so of course the Honda trucks sucked.

So buy a wagon or a hatchback. Why the fuck would you spend $30k on a fake pickup truck that looks like an Odyssey? Also, do you really plan on putting IT equipment in the bed?

>>15763616
Cause sitting on the floor is for dick-suckers. Trucks are nice cause you sit up high for visibility. Cars are for manlets.

What's annoying is the fact that all the reviews people have of it claim its the best thing to ever happen to pickup trucks.

Even though not a single person actually tows anything or pushes it hard.

>BUT IT HAS A TRUNK SO ITS SO MUCH BETTER XD

>>15763721
>Even though not a single person actually tows anything or pushes it hard.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS TRUCK YOU IDIOT

>>15763735

Then why the FUCK would you buy a glorified minivan if you ARENT GOING TO USE IT LIKE A TRUCK

>>15763742

dude a minivan? forreal?

cant be a dude driving a minivan bro thats a clear signal you are completely cucked by your wife

Trolls keep calling it a minivan, but it's more structurally rigid than any of your flappy BOF trucks. There is literally closed box frame integrated to body with welds, not a couple of bolts and the rest of the bed is designed to be an additional structure of the unit.

>>15763867
The ridgeline is a mini van with a truck bed.

>>15763895

Which means in a side impact on the box the unibody will be F-U-C-K-E-D. Then you'll be chopping out and welding in new supports. I seriously doubt these trucks will be repairable in a half decent accident.

And yes, it's a minivan with an open back. Thats all it is. Idiots can call it whatever they want, but at the end of the day it can't do shit.

Who actually has been triggered by this?

Other than a few examples here of people counterpointing, nobody thinks it's a bad thing. Most of us wouldn't buy it. But obviously there's a market for it outside of /o/.

I can see the draws of it; man gets a "truck" and the mother of the children gets a smaller, 4 door vehicle. She feels safe carrying her little mistakes around and he feels good that he can move out at any time without renting a van.

Everyone I know who owns a truck uses it at least once a week in a way that necessitates a truck (bed, towing power). However, I'd be lying to say this thing couldn't do 85 or 90 percent of those once a week tasks. The other 10 percent could probably be managed in other ways (making two trips etc).

What's the price of this thing, anyways?

Considering a box on frame pickup is so fucking easy to repair, or better yet replace, it means a signifigant impact on the box wont write the whole truck off. You undo 6-8 bolts and remove the box, and either find a replacement or make up a flatbed. I don't think you can do that with a "Superior" unibody design, but whatever floats your goat, suburbanite.

>>15764334
Nice try hiding your triggered state truckfag.

Truth is this truck has just made your glorified grocery hauler obsolete. But you can always hang a pair of plastic truck balls, and make it just as manly as your rusty shitbox.

>>15764294
>at the end of the day it can't do shit.
which is fine because 85% of truckfags don't do shit. if you don't tow over 4,000 pounds or offroad weekly then you don't need any more truck than the Ridgeline. Everyone thinks they need a 1/2 ton Z-71 or crew cab Raptor even though they dd it to an office and don't haul anything

>>15764294
>>15764294
This is literally only a problem if you live in a South East Asian country or you can't afford insurance.
>it'll be a wright off in a decent accident
Any more redundant points you wish to raise?

>>15765123
I drive a non-rusted focus and a bike at the moment; doubt the truck balls would really "work" on either. I have no use for a truck of any size right now.

Your projections have been noted nonetheless.

>>15764378
What's the point of BoF pickup truck being repaired after a serious side collision if you're not alive to give a shit?
The Honda has a reinforced unit body with far better side crash protection than the classic wagon-on-kart design.

The new Ridgeline actually looks nice and probably the comfiest truck I've ever driven.
I would still get a Tacoma over it though.

>>15765171

>i think people dont use their trucks right and thats bad

k

>>15765185

>Brand new minivan with a box
>Get in an accident after a month
>Get half of what you paid for it because its not worth repairing it and you can't do it yourself

Any points you'd like to raise? I mean, insurance is great on paper, but realistically you aren't getting a brand new minivan if your old one is junk.

>>15765197
I've probably been driving trucks longer you've been alive.

At one point you could take any 'SUV' on the market off road and be able to make it back with something hitting the undercarriage.

How many SUV's can say that now?

>>15765882
Fuck

Without Something hitting the undercarriage*

More expensive than an F-150. Which completely eliminates the purpose of buying one in the first place

>>15763742
The truck bed is useful for people to have even if u don't usee it every single day

two words

Ford

get one of those instead, i'm legit looking at one for my mom because she needs a van with high headroom because wheelchair

>>15762833

because moms who didn't know what a birth controll pill buy them

but you're right, most guys buy trucks for status symbols, honestly, if you're gonna buy a truck, but don't haul anything, and you're single, buy a fucking ranger instead, way better on gas and they don't make you look like a micro-dick

>>15762879

we can buy what we fucking want, you have no use for a vehicle at all if you spend most of your days shitposting on a taiwanese sock-puppet site

you can take an uber or, god forbid, the public bus

>>15766263
Actually most rangers don't get much better MPG than F150's with 302's........

>>15762787

transverse engine and FWD until the wheels spin in a SUV or truck is gay as hell. cue Ford Escape, Honda Ridgeline, etc

>>15766276

still, it doesn't make you look like a micro-dick

>>15762861
Most truck owners get the crew cab so they can haul their little shits around while pretending to still be manly

>>15766315

I just bought a 00 4runner limited 2wd. does this make me a cuck? i'm a single male, 26

>>15766315

true story, i work next to an elementary school, was out on my break and i hear an argument, another parent was getting in a guys face while picking his daughter up, because he had a turbo diesel f-150 (ironically, diesel trucks get 25-30mpg) and she was saying that "your truck idles hard, it's worse for the environment" "ma'am, i actually use bio-diesel in this thing" "why do you even have a truck? you don't haul anything!!!" "it's not your say what i can spend my money on" "yes it is!, i'm part of the city council!" "good for you" "you are contributing to climate change" "okay, and?" "i'm going to report you to the carbon tax beureu" "do it" and he left
