Pretty good, ride like a car but can still do some truck stuff. Fast too. (for what it is)

/o/ will say its shit though because its not body on frame and cant off-road

Is that a Ridgeline? Unless you are a contractor or pulling everyday it is the most practical crew cab truck to be honest. Looks stupid, seems stupid, but 80% of the time it's the smartest choice.

There are cases where you need a true crew cab and a bed. My wife wants an SUV to be up high. I live in a rural area and need a bed or trailer. Towing a trailer for every little thing is getting a bit tiresome.

There's no such thing as a ff transverse engine AWD setup with a rear bias. It may be able to send up to 50% of the power to the rear but it will never be RWD biased.

It may work in cars and small SUV's but there's a reason why every truck has been RWD for the last 150 years.

American light duty trucks are not work trucks (for the most part, many are used as such). They are high capacity personal utility vehicles.

They are ideal for toting around dirtbikes, helping your mother move, going camping, towing your boat/recreational trailer to wherever, etc.

>>16729274

Nissan got infected by Renault, and has churned out boring shit ever since.
Basically the whole place is run by detached bean-counter committee, and it shows.

Pre-2000 Nissan was breddy good. The old hardbody/pathfinders are basically indestructible, the 240sx is a classic, and the Maxima was top-tier in the 90s.
Then Ghosn came along and was like "let's stop innovating, and churn out boring mediocre appliances that check the boxes". "Low-risk" for the investors, sure, but if unchecked will lead to the death of the company.

>>16729334
That's actually the logical distinction between a work vehicle and a private vehicle. If it's used for work it's a work vehicle and therefore not solely a private vehicle. If it's solely a private vehicle it's not used for work, commuting notwithstanding. Trucks have their use as work vehicles, but as private vehicles they are absolute fucking retardation in most cases.

>picking literally one of the points I brought up and harping on it.

You're a moron.

but I'll humor you.

Load up your dirbike in the back of a ridgeline and it will be stopped by the first rut it encounters. Load up your dirtbike into the back of a real midsize truck and it will tackle pretty much anything on the way to your riding area.

Same thing with camping. You buy the Rdigeline if you want to camp just off the highway like a fag.
You buy a Frontier if you want to camp 12 miles into some gnarly double track in the middle of a forest.


That's the difference. Frontiers have actual truck capabilities. carrying a load over almost any terrain. Ridgelines do not have this capability. You can't take them any further offroad than you can take your moms shitty pilot crossover.

>>16729364
It's a more useful Pilot for cheaper

>comparing a vehicle to literal cuckoldry
God damn what a leap of logic

>>16729368
Why don't I ride the dirtbike there in the first place if the place can only be reached by serious offroad equipment? Why am I not camping with my offroad bike?

>Why don't I ride the dirtbike there in the first place if the place can only be reached by serious offroad equipment?

you can only ride dirtbikes in certain areas. Also some of the best riding is far of into the wilderness. Bringing your bikes and fuel supply on a truck means more riding time and less headaches if something breaks.

>serious offroad equipment
>frontier
lel no. It's a normal real truck that can go offroad as a basic capability of being a real truck. Something the ridgeline completely lacks.

>Why am I not camping with my offroad bike?
You can camp with or without dirtbikes.
camping without you need a way to get yourself out into the area you want to camp. You cannot do this with a ridgeline unless you literally want to camp off the rise of a road.

>Why the hell am I taking so much crap camping that I can't fit it onto a bike?
Friends, beer, women, firewood, guns, beer, and camping equipment, etc. all fit into a truck much better than onto a dirtbike.

>Do I want to camp or do I want to sit around in a mobile hotel room like a spoiled faggot?
You want to camp if you're an actual fully grown adult man.

>>16729421
I'm not saying he shouldn't be allowed to have it, I just think he's stupid for buying it.
I still don't really understand what a truck has to offer to someone who doesn't tow shit

TFL Truck pitted the canyon, tacoma, frontier and ridgeline on some light offroading.

The ridgeline tranny over heated and dropped out first lol. Completely useless. Canyon dropped out next because lol chin spoiler gives a shitty approach angle.

Tacoma and frontier made it to the top. The all voted that the frontier was the best truck because of the value and because its an honest truck that gets the job done.

Tl;dr you are a cuck if you buy a ridgeline.

Then why do trucks come with optional 4 wheel drive, all terrain tires, large ground clearances, underbody skid plates, locking differentials. heavy dudty suspension components etc.

All terrain locomotion is a prerequisite when designing a real truck.Even if some of the lower trims dont come with all the doodads, the chassis itself ad its drivetrain needs to have been designed for it.

Nothing about the ridgeline was designed for offroad. It is not a truck.

>>16729652
Better stability considering the lower vehicle weight compared to a full size truck possibly.

>>16729642
this is 100% correct

honda took the fwd and made it into meme wheel drive to fool idiots.

>>16729646

>>16729652
>So why does the tow raring go up for the AWD Ridgeline?
Because it's not a truck. It is a FWD based pile of shit and FWD is garbage for towing.

You're right, 4wd is much much much MUCH better in this context.

This, The Frontier is a solid jack of all trades truck. Durable, good off road, decent on road, good payload and towing, etc.

Even one the better looking midsizes as far as I'm concerned.

Just is essentially 12 years old at this point. I woiuldn't buy one new now, but they are solid used trucks.

If I were to buy a new midsize it would be a Canyon/Colorado.

Honda has made the soft cock equivalent of a truck.

They've done the same thing that was done with SUV's and CUV's. They made a less capable vehicle to sell to people that want a 'truck-like appearance', without he truck capabilities. Just like CUV buyers want an SUV-like experience without the SUV capabilities.
The Ridgeline is a posermobile just like all the CUV trash on the market now.

>tough guy fantasies.
>masculinity
You're the only one trying to equate basic truck capabilities such as offroad competency and durability to something involving human masculinity.

I'm sorry you seem to think a vehicle having the appropriate capabilities for it's class has anything to do with how big of a man someone is. That sounds like a pretty major internal struggle you're contending with there bro.

holy fuck are you retarded, or have you never towed anything b4 see >>16729642

The towing has little to do with traction. Traction is beat gained with the most weight on an axle which is in the front with the engine. Not the weightless flatbed

>>16729830
It tows 5000lbs which is inline with its competition
>B-but this one off diesel model no one buys tows a little more!

>>16729828
>>implying Titanium edition F150s aren't the ultimate posermobile

They are luxury vehicles.
They're still build on the same chassis and drivetrain and thus still have the same capabilities.

It's not a posermobile if it can still do the things it's meant to do as a truck.

>If anything the Ridgeline is the cold hard truth about the modern truck buyer

>>16729834
>The towing has little to do with traction.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

>Traction is beat gained with the most weight on an axle

You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
Where is weight added when at max payload on a ridgeline
Where is weight added when a ridgeline is towing
Which axle is loaded in either of these situations?

You seriously think the front axle is the ideal place to put power? You're a complete dumbfuck.

>>16729885
Yes it does

Look at the weight of the truck vs its carry load. Most of the weight is in the front

Guess that's why every single pickup and truck that tows or hauls on a bed is rear wheel drive then right?
