Re: 2010 Ridgeline Article - PickupTrucks.com
Honda 3.7 V6 300hp
That would boost up sales for sure and probably get better mileage...

Re: 2010 Ridgeline Article - PickupTrucks.com
Well, I'm another convert. We had lots of trucks. However, counting only those with an open bed, we've had 17 pickups: 5 Fords, 5 Chevys, 1 GMC, 2 Dodges, 2 Toyotas, 2 Nissans and now a Honda.
I/we drove all the 09s several months ago. I liked the Tundra, but it was big, expensive overkill and the better sized (for us)Tacoma was too bouncy for my old bones over some of the 'roads' we travel on a weekly basis and lacked some of the other attributes we were looking for. I came back to the Chevy dealer who also has a Honda store down the road. I told the Chevy salesman, who we had bought from before, that we didn't need to tow more than a few thousand pounds, wanted a crew cab, a secure area to hide stuff (I'm a firearms instructor) and put junk so that it wouldn't stink up and trash the interior, a small bed for hauling dirt, gas cans, etc. that I could easily get in and out of, a top IIHS score (very important), a comfortable and quiet interior for long trips, stable and handled/drove more like a car than a truck, 4wd for the highly changeable weather(we live in the country at 6,000 ft.) and rough gravel roads, but didn't need an 'off' road oriented vehicle. He smiled and drove us down the street in a new Silverado and we ended up going home in a vehicle put together in Alabama with an American built engine and transmission. Our taxi, by comparison, the Silverado half ton, like our previous Chevy, was built in a foreign country. Now, some of my neighbors don't think much of our new vehicle and that's o.k. On the one or two occasions every year or so that we need to tow/haul something huge between us and town, they'll still come over and take care of it for us with their Cummins, Powerstroke or Duramax.

Re: 2010 Ridgeline Article - PickupTrucks.com
RMR, congrats on the new truck. I loved reading through your post, seeing all the "bullet points" you made and thinking "ridgeline, ridgeline, ridgeline", mentally checking off each one.
- Chip Thanks.

I had read several articles saying the Ridgeline's will be discontinued. I sure hope not!

>>>>Less quirky styling<<<<
