It just goes to show you how good this truck really is. The Tacoma is a great truck, and has been for many years, and four? generations. Yet people are trading in practically new Tacomas for the Ridgeline.
Yup, I agree. Having owned 4 Toyota trucks, I can say they are great trucks. But, I TOO traded a Tacoma for my RTL W/Navi. Mine was an '04. I really wanted more luxury / convenience features. Leather, Navigation, Sunroof, Heated Seats, Heated Mirrors, Power Driver's Seat, Power rear window just to name the big ones.
I had my heart set on the new '05 Tacoma. I loved that truck when I first saw it. But as soon as I got my hands of the list of available features, I was very disapointed to learn it didn't offer ANY of these features! Not to mention, that the standard array of air bags, Traction control, and other safety features were OPTIONAL on the Taco. Meaning, unless you were lucky enough to find one in dealer stock with the safety features, you will have to order one. So, Toyota lost my business.
So, I went to the nissan dealer. Was looking at the fully loaded Titan, just so I couold get Navigation, Leather, Heated Seats, and a sunroof (42K). But, I am poor, so Nissan lost my business.
Then I heard about the ridgeline.
Now I am a little in debt, but I got every feature I wanted. And I couldn't be happier. I am really glad this truck came along when it did.
