You mean no offroad? no tow power? >If you look around only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and offroad.
Honda knows it's customers and is doing the perfect thing here. You get the comfort of a crossover, clever engineering(all way open-able truck lid, in-bed storage), etc 99.99% of truck features, fuel economy like no other truck has, etc.
Literally everyone I know with a truck uses it for offroad or towing or other actual truck stuff
Elijah Davis
Yup, it can do reasonable offroading too.
Jackson Rodriguez
Only retards off road pickup trucks with their godawful breakover angle.
Carson Johnson
I actually like this Ridgeline, too bad 4wd isn't standard anymore.
Brayden Jenkins
>truck >transverse engine
The short bed is useless, might as well get a Pilot.
Parker Martin
Here's a flaw:
It's not an actual truck.
Owen Brooks
Honda a shit, tbqhwyf.
Grayson Ortiz
>europoor diesel cuck Nothing you say matters to anyone.
Sebastian Cook
Its a car made to look like a truck so people with vaginas can get around
Brayden Davis
How?
Kayden Reyes
I saw a ridgeline with a cube container of water in the back once
That poor ridgeline was so overloaded
Charles Long
>4 wheel independant suspension >truck
Its a crossover with an open box on the back. Make no mistake, its very good at being a crossover with an open box, but its fucking useless as a truck.
Ian Wright
You were talking about fuel economy, right? So shut your mouth and kneel before your european diesel masters.
Ryder Butler
So having independent suspension makes it not a truck?
Josiah Lopez
>Not even a truck >fucking tiny bed I could haul more shit in the bed of an el camino. >shit towing capacity >get laughed off the jobsite for driving a cuckmobile >more than an f150 without even factoring intensives >same fuel economy
However, it is perfect for hauling around all the interracial children your coalburning wife had with Tyreese.
Jace Gray
Unibody
Jace Brooks
There's no truck in the OP.
Nathan Roberts
>only comes in a 4-door >only comes with a short bed >transverse engine It's a crossover pickup, not what I'd consider a truck
Dylan Sanders
So what? Do you plan on replacing the bed?
Ayden Ramirez
Among other things, yes. Independant front is fine, but the rear end needs to be able stay in contact with the ground.
Brandon Johnson
its not american
Logan Brooks
No, I plan on owning a real truck that can haul and offroad.
Joshua Ortiz
What the fuck are you talking about?
Austin Ramirez
loser
Julian Johnson
>real truck >off road Mutually exclusive.
Leo Rodriguez
useless fag truck for fags impressive fact its even uglier than previous generations
Adam Harris
This. Wow what a piece of shit.
Brayden Butler
Found the pavement queen
Austin Lewis
Found the guy who doesn't know what a truck is and thinks independent suspension makes something not a truck.
Luis Cook
>only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and off road. Maybe in the suburbs where you live. Closer to 95% in my neighborhood. My lawnmower has more ground clearance than that "truck". Most of the U.S. is rural. I own acreage, it would cost more to pave my driveway than it did to build the house you live in. In the rainy season, that truck would have to park at the road- it would never make it up to my front door.
Jaxson Long
Do you really need a rock crawler to make it to your front door? I really fucking doubt it
Evan Price
honda is poop
Benjamin Ramirez
It's actually perfectly acceptable for everything the average truck buyer needs, but as people in this thread proved the average truck buyer is an idiot with a room temperature IQ
I look forward to picking one up for cheap when it inevitably fails and dealerships are desperate to give them away
John Rivera
It has the same towing capacity as a specced up Colorado
Kayden Lewis
If it cant haul a load over basic terrain without a wheel coming off the ground all the god damn time, it's not a truck. Is it useless? No, but its not a truck.
Trucks originated as farm equipment, it ought to at least be able to fill that role before you can call it a truck.
Xavier Miller
It's a fucking truck
Andrew Bailey
>implying anyone cares about the Colorado
Landon Ward
>not comparing the Ridgeline with its competition
Camden Adams
Okay it's a truck, but ask yourself why do people buy a truck?
Charles Ross
>interracial children thanks for highlighting how well educated you are
Logan Gutierrez
found the nu male cuck
Camden Johnson
While this is true, I need a truck that can haul a 5th wheel offroad. So a pussyboi honda wont ever be on my shopping list.
Austin Rivera
>So a pussyboi honda wont ever be on my shopping list
Okay.
Tyler Flores
>assblasted when his stupidity is pointed out lmfao
Sebastian Hall
LITERALLY A PILOT WITH A SHORT BED
Universally considered a "bad taste" car
Thomas Thompson
Why does the Ridgeline trigger so many people?
>durr it's not a real truck
Carter Hernandez
Not him but I live 10+ miles on a dirt road that goes through 5 desert washes and I pull 5th wheels and 20k pound trailers. If its raining it gets pretty hairy.
Ian Long
>competition >$9300 more Colorado >$2000 more then any full size from the big 3 kek
Ridgeline >Towing capacity: 3,500 to 5,000 lbs
Colorado >Towing capacity: 3,500 to 7,000 lbs
I was going to say niglets, but I felt like being polite.
Carson Hernandez
>I need a truck that can haul a 5th wheel offroad. Off road being an unpaved road?
John Anderson
>pull 5th wheels and 20k pound trailers You're not the target audience for the Ridgeline
No one on Veeky Forums has a sense of perspective
Nathaniel Watson
Boy, that sure represents the capabilities of the average honda truck
Nolan Fisher
>he thinks baja trucks are available from the factory.
Ian Baker
Nice citations on those prices
Oliver Hughes
>it can do reasonable offroading too.
getting stuck on wet grass isn't 'reasonable offroading'
Joseph Lee
Probably a path with 2 tracks no gravel included
Tyler Young
I went up an icy hill in an Accord on worn all season tires, if you manage to get stuck on wet grass in a Ridgeline you're doing something very wrong
Bentley Parker
So something like this? Any idiot in an economy car can drive on this
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Colorado,F150,Silverado and Dodge Ram 1500
Kayden Carter
Sure, when its dry
Josiah Morgan
>comparing base model prices
Now spec the Colorado and the F150 so they're both 4 door crew cabs like the Ridgeline
Lucas Edwards
>more than an f150 without even factoring intensives
Idk, my wifes brother just bought a new F150 Lariat 5.0L KC, LB. The window sticker said 60k(he didn't pay that much though).
Alexander Hall
Why? Not everyone wants that. Its a limitation on the honda, and it costs you money whether or not you want it.
Base model is base model
David Foster
Base models bruvva.
Mason Morgan
Nobody wants the base models you fucking tard, those 2 seater base models are fleet trucks
Leo Edwards
>only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and offroad. Veeky Forums teenagers really are this delusional.
Anyway new the ridgeline has gvwr of 7k can tow like 6k lbs you stupid fuck. it's a decent mid sized truck.
so basically your post is pointless and ur dumb
Nicholas Lee
If you want a truck why would you buy a Honda civic missing the back portion of the roof?
Anthony Morgan
>tfw you try to make a stupid joke but accidentally end up referring to an entire other car that actually does exist
Michael Edwards
People still buy them wankstain. I see base model f150s everywhere
Ethan Rivera
>wankstain
My friend, you must be 18 years or older to post here.
Camden Hall
>I see base model f150s everywhere lol
Austin Cooper
>truck >unibody
Isaiah Rodriguez
>implying Veeky Forums is an adult board and not full of children/man-children looking for their first cheap shitbox.
James Stewart
nigga nobody is gonna go rock crawling in this if anything independent suspension is better for this vehicle and its intended uses
Nicholas Thomas
Amazing, there are people in this thread that have common sense
Hudson Bennett
>this vehicle and its intended uses Which is hauling the groceries home which can be done better in a van or suv they already sell
Cameron Long
Can you option a Ridgeline out to 60k? His isn't even a Platinum.
Jaxson Mitchell
Or car parts like an engine
John Lewis
majority of towing is less than 6k lbs, which is what it's rated for, so yes it's perfectly fine.
need a truck to haul yard shit, engine shit, a van or suv (lol idiot) can't compete.
Brayden Butler
Talking about the price of base models. Ridgeline base is more than an f150 base.
Dylan Nelson
Even mild berms will cause a ridgeline to lift a tire.
Asher Carter
The base F150 also comes with next to nothing dumbass
Adrian Lee
>FWD standard >OPTIONAL AWD >truck
Fuck outta here nigga.
Jason Long
About the same level of performance when it comes to being a truck.
Christian Mitchell
>muh reel truk
Dominic Miller
A base f-150 is an actual truck, the ridgeline is just a SUV masquerading as a truck.
If someone needs actually needs a truck, then they are getting an F-150 or other equivalent.
Asher Morales
Very few people actually need a truck, they just want one, and the people who want an F150 are sure as hell not going to buy a base model
Jeremiah Jackson
I bet it drives nicer than a Shitcoma
Asher Anderson
Since when is breaking down all the time a requirement of needing a truck
Jace Ross
>50 yen has been deposited into your account
Anthony Diaz
Then why do they sell a base model?
Lincoln Jones
Fleet vehicles
Cameron Parker
Fleet sales mostly.
Henry Roberts
>Fleet sales aka fake sales to crony corps and govt agencies that will ship them to el queda specifically for the purposes of inflating sales figures
Zachary Myers
They can sell base models to commercial buyers without offering them to the public. Why offer them to the public if no one buys them
Angel Brown
Because "Starting at $20k" sounds better than "Starting at $30k"
Caleb Peterson
Ive gotten 5" of rain in an hour. Repeat that over multiple days. yes, you sometimes need 35's with 6" lift just to make it to my front door. My nearest town is 240 people BTW. /out/ had a nice thread the other day of user in (Wyoming?) Whom had the roads washed out for about 30 miles around him. He had some good pics of the "road" washed out with 2 foot diameter culvert pipes blocking the way. He spent all day making his way to an old neighbor and then into town to report to the sherrif. Its probably still up, /out/ is a slower board. Not everybody lives in the concrete jungle of urban spwarl.
