Been looking for a new Midsize Pickup Truck for a while. I did my homework and it all came down to Ridgeline vs Tacoma. And it seems there is one obvious winner.
Honda Ridgeline 2017:
Ride Quietness
Handling
Acceleration
Reliability
21mpg (Combined)
Decent Leg Room

>>16679283
>form over function
but i wouldn't buy one personally due to my experiences with honda, would rather a used tacoma when it comes to buying midsize pickups.
>>16679271
>midsize
>still a fucking massive nip turd
only good nip trucks are tiny
>>16679333
ok, ok. I see where you coming from, but what if I replace my original bed on my pickup with a flatbed?
>>16679366
if you are gonna do that, you might as well just get a 1.5 ton cabover
>>16679379
Sure if he wants to die in an accident.
>>16679278
>>16679283
>Chevy
>"American"
You mean Mexican. Ridgeline and Tacoma are American.
>>16679379
That's a 2.5 tonne.
>>16679408
Maybe if you can't drive.
>>16681187
This.

Bump for a well disguised troll thread

They're shit, both of them. The Ridgeline is an FWD-biased SUV with a bed, while the Tacoma uses a C-channel frame and can't do shit before it rusts in half.
Get a Chevy Colorado. You can even have a diesel if fuel economy matters and it can do everything the Honda and Toyota "trucks" can do and more.
>>16681794
Tacoma > Colorado
I bet a Colorado wouldnt even survive 1 million miles, stay btfo
>>16681794
>SUV
you mean crossover. SUVs are body on frame. Ridgeline is cuck tier unibody. only a fucking tard would buy this for anything but a grocery getter.
>tahoe
SUV
>explorer
CUV
>>16681822
>Explorer
>CUV
I think you meant the Escape. The Ex isn't exactly a CUV
>>16681832
New explorer is unibody. I know, I love it too but its a CUV and not a true SUV. There is a reason you don't see them in 4x4 high clearance police trim.
Love them, but they are cars, not trucks.
>>16681832
>>16681837
Which is why I am super stoked for the new Bronco. Based on proven international ranger/AUS body whatever they call it. Body on frame, updated interior and exterior for us amerilards. SUV, not a shit ass unibody "crossover" aka tall car.
In 2019 I plan to buy one new.
>>16681822
The Ridgeline and Pilot use a combination of body on frame and unibody construction.
It has a perimeter frame which is welded to the unibody. If you drilled out the welds, you can separate it easily.

>modern day hondas
>ugly ass ridgeline
>unibody
I think the choice is obvious
>>16681875
It is called a uniframe. The question is how how strong is it in the Ridgeline?
The taco can tow up to 6400lbs while the Ridgeline tops out at 5000lbs
>>16681837
Okay if you say so. Still not a CUV though regardless if it's a rounded unibody pos.
>>16679271
Mitsubishi L2000 is great since you can change it to RWD with a button whenever you want.
>>16681899
So...if a SUV is body on frame and a CUV is unibody...what does that make the exploder?
>>16681940
Why won't these nippons sell us decent trucks?
>>16682072
Fuck, I meant to say why won't they sell them to Australians?
>>16681832
The Explorer is a CUV Crossover. It is literally a lifted Taurus wagon unlike the previous three generations of Ranger based Explorer.
>>16681848
It's kind of ironic the global Ranger based Everest is closer to the new Explorer than the current generation shitbox Explorer.
>>16682073
They sell the only few that have excelled here.
American trucks are good at pulling a load in favourable conditions, which is why they're solely imported to effortless tow large caravans in comfort. That's a pretty targeted audience.
>>16679271
Get a Frontier.
>>16682072
Because they don't know what Americans want in a truck
I mean seriously? 4 cylinders in a truck, no torque, no power? That's not how a truck is made
And still Honda doesn't make a v8 pickup truck like Nissan does
>>16679271
>honda
>toyota
>actual truck
pick one and only one anon
>>16684593
No need for a F750
