If the Ridgeline didn't exist, what would be your second choice for a Pick-up truck?

Just curious who Honda is taking the most sales from with this amazing beast!

 

[UglyTruckling]

I'd still be driving my beloved ex-2002 Acura MDX. I still miss it, regardless of how happy I am with my Ridgeline.

If not for the Ridgeline I would still be driving my '03 F-150 Lariat 4 door 4 X 4Great truck!

 

[fins2theright]

I suspect that as Honda predicted, many Ridgeline buyers will be leaving other Honda products. I left Toyota, because the new Tacoma didn't offer half the bells and whistles of the Ridgeline. The Titan has all the bells and whistles, but it's too damm big.

I think Toyota will be the bigger loser here.

If it weren't for wanting / needing a truck bed, I would JUMP on a Civic EX coupe w/navi! They are saaaweeeet!

I considered the MDX....but wanted an open bed.

I was saving $$ to purchase a range rover sport. Honda took 30K away from my goal of 60K. I figured in a couple of years I would get another ridgeline with the rest. 2 4 1

I would still be driving my 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer. Would NEVER have bought a pickup... but the in bed trunk sold me!

You forgot about the mitsubishi raider.

I had a Hummer H3 on order & cancelled for the RL. Saw an H3 review where the guy had to unload his trailer before he could drive up his driveway! No regrets with the RL... Its the 1st vehicle I ever had more 6 months straight, without wanting something else. At this point I've no desire to even consider buying another vehicle short of theft or bad accident & then I would buy another RL.
You could ask the guys at work, but for me to keep a vehicle more than 6 months is a feat...

I know you can't list them all but I would have gone with a Honda Pilot. I'm getting one for the wife and my company was going to get me one but I asked for the Ridgeline. I probably will get them both next week.

I would still be driving my '97 F150, but I answered Nissan Frontier in the poll because that's what I most likely would have bought, when replacing the F150.

 

[rtboy1961]

uggghhhh I would still be driving my paid for 1996 pontiac sunfire. I have never owned a truck until now. I miss the paid for part, but do not miss the car.

 

[Webwader]

I would still be driving my '99 Ford Ranger XLT Super Cab and waiting for something like the Ridgeline to come on the scene.

 

[oldguy]

Can't vote, would have kept my 4-Runner.

 

[kahnartist]

Well, none of the above...
Hubby would have probably gone with the brand new Rallye Red Honda Element (with 4WD) or the Nissan Murano also 4WD-his 93' Prelude broke an oil seal at 200,002 miles.
He does kitchen remodeling (so doesn't need a ton o' tools), but the sawdust from the saws was a REAL issue in my Nissan Maxima he drove. He'd put the saws in the back seat, roll down the windows, and sawdust would pour all over the carpet, upholstery, his clothing, hair, etc. I have two Nissan Maximas (my original 1989 SE has 180,000 and still going), and got a 2002 SE 2 years ago off Craigslist. He loves driving that thing because it is so fast--and the old one NEVER broke down. He was ready to switch nameplates due to my success, but really liked his Honda.

Either a Sequoia or VW Tourareg, with an outside possibility of a Pilot.

 

[Ultra-HOG]

Sorry, cant vote either. Honda Pilot is not one of the choices. After several weeks of research on the Pilot, I was on my way in the door of my Honda dealer to sign the paperwork to buy a Pilot when cuirosity got the best of me and I stopped for a quick peek at the new Honda truck parked outside. Honda had done such an outstanding job of introducing the Ridgeline that I didn't even know that it existed until then, much less anything about it. Waited six weeks for it to be built... You know the rest of the story.

I'm with UH . . . . it'd be Pilot for me as well.

 

[VetteBlue]

If leather, a slightly more comfortable ride, and a sunroof were Tacoma options, one of those would be in my garage. Especially since the nearest Honda dealer is 30 miles away. Almost bought a 4Runner, but I really wanted my first truck.

Glad Honda built this truck. So far, it seems to get more attention than my Corvette! Go figure...

 

[dboz]

I sold a Tacoma for my Ridge. The only other vehicle I was considering was the MURANO. Tacoma is very "truck". THe Ridge is more SUT. More luxury and less truck.

 

[5S Dude]

You forgot about the mitsubishi raider.

The Dakota's the same ole thing.....

I would have bought a red 95' Alex Zanardi NSX-T.
