This reviewer purchased his Ridgeline from the same dealership me and CaliforniaRidgeline did. This dealer is moving a lot of Ridgelines. :cool:

Odd that the reviewer complains about some surface scratchs in the bed after moving some furniture, but neglects to mention that it is a composite material-not painted steel. His comments make it sound like Honda cheaped him on a liner instead of providing the most innovative bed on the market!

NO MENTION OF THE TRUNK! Has this moron not discovered it yet?

The bed does scratch quite easily and the scratches are white.

Since it is a plastic bed I don't really care, it's a pickup bed, not a living room table.

I think that this may be a concern for some people who are use to steel beds where any small scratch are potential rust points.

That review didn't look very professional to me...lots of misspellings, etc. Not sure I'd put much faith into what he says.

Very funny response. However, I agree with how easy it is to scratch the composite material. I read the advance press review where Honda poured a load of rocks into the bed. They claimed no damage. I moved a small dresser and got a nice scratch for my efforts. The surface is certainly more touchy than it should be. I think a black touch up paint from Honda is going to be necessary.

Don't forget what the kid said. He said a little motor oil will bring it back. Let me know if it works. If it works, I think that would be better than the touch up paint.

A can of flat black spray Rustoleum might touch it up nice for a special occasion or showing. Just watch the overspray.

I was surprised when I checked my server logs and saw that I was getting a lot of hits from this site. Thanks for reading my little review. After reading how bad of a speller I was I went back and threw the copy into word to double. Check. I only found one "it's" and forgot to capitalize "honda". I'll try do better next time. ;-) BTW... thanks for visiting CARazed.

The H and A web site has touch up paint for the bed. If you get it, let us know how it works out.
