Thank you. I appreicate it.

Very nice pictures. I can't wait to get my black Ridgeline.

My heart breaks for you Zero everytime someone gets their 'Line and you still wait. I will celebrate for you when you get it I promise. :p

Just think of the fact that everybody in this group went through what you are experiencing right now - the agony of waiting.

Good things come to those who wait!! Been waitin' on my wife hand and foot for 32 years!! Had to put gas in her lawn mower today!! :D Thanks for the nice words.

Thanks folks. But I always try to remember that patience is a virtue.

Besides, I ordered the vehicle. If I had taken one out of dealer stock, I wouldn't be waiting.

If I had taken one out of dealer stock, I wouldn't be waiting.

We're right there with you Zero. They still have six on the lot but no blue ones and none with NAV. The days are ticking by slowly. Today they told us the 29th instead of the 27th, so we're going be happy if we get it before May. Our original delivery date was May 6th.

Bigtars, Did you have any trouble mounting the TPM sensors on those wheels.???

Didn't use them. I installed chrome valve stems and discombobulated the monitor. The monitor is kinda useless anyway. Been doing without them for 40 years. I keep a close watch on tire pressure. Been driving a truck for 36 years. Have 360,000 on the set that's on my Freightliner.Will get 450,000.

By the by bigtars, forgot to mention, I really like your wheels. They set off the truck nice. :)

Thank you kindly,Hager

BigTars,

Since you seem to be a diehard truck guy, can you comment on how the Ridgeline compares to your other trucks, what you like/dislike about it, why you bought it, and are you satisfied with it?

Thanks!

Since people has ordered and waiting for their RL to arrive, are they fixing or correcting all the troubles that are occuring on the RL before they move the finished product and shipped out? or Do they have the dealer's deal with the problems to be fixed when it happens?

I've had many pickups in my life,but I can't compare any to the Ridgeline. This pickup is far more advanced and refined. I've owned a 1948 Ford,a 1955 Ford,a 1956 Ford,a 1976 Ford,a 1986 Chevrolet Crewcab Dually,a 1995 Chevrolet Crewcab Dually,and now have a 1999 Ford Crewcab Dually 7.3 Turbo Diesel Classy Chassis conversion to pull my racecar. I bought mine because I think that the design and inovation far exceeds any pickup on the market today. Also,I wanted to be the first to own one. I ordered mine in January of this year and got it in the second week of March. The first one that the dealer got was mine. The main reason that I like it is that it is so much fun to drive.It's easy to look at and easy to admire. I get as many "thumbs up" in it as I do in my 32 Ford streetrod.The only thing that I don't like about it is the wind noise coming from my moonroof,but I have that isolated now. The dealer is to remedy this as soon as I find the time to get it to them. In my opinion,which matters little except to myself,there is not a better riding,better handling,better looking,or better designed pickup on the market today. The BIG 3 must be taking a real hard look at this baby and trying to decide how to keep their market share in the pickup line. KEEPEM CLEAN!!! :)
