Honda Truck?

[Joel]

I was on my way home when I saw an unusual looking truck atop a transport big rig. I thought it was one of those big Cadillacs and thought nothing of it. Upon closer look however, the grill had a Honda badge! Wha.....? I must be out of the loop but I looked around the net and came up with this:

I don't know, I'm not too crazy with the look. Not my style.

Honda Ridgeline

Looks like a mini-me version of the Avalanche IMO. I've seen a few driving around town. I think it's OK, but nothing special. The front grill area is fugly IMO. Looks like it ran into a wall. Needs some character up front, but oh well...

I won't be buying one.

pretty soon you'll start seeing these with 22+ inch wheels and an interior that looks more like the TV section at BestBuys.

that , or slammed to the ground, 5 inch fart cans sticking out the back and the typical ricer kits and decals.

I have checked them out and I like them. A lot. Don't knock on it until you have checked it out first hand. The real negative for me was the MPGs this rig got. I had expected a lot better from honda. For a six cylinder with VTEC this truck just uses too much gas when not being used to haul.

Yeah, the Ridgeline. The way the Honda is reaching out to the rednecks. Soichiro must be boiling in his grave.

I agree with Juice. I looked into buying one to replace my ten year old Chevy C/K 1400 work truck. The two reasons I decided against it are that it is really too nice to work out of ( it's more of an SUV than a truck ) and the mileage was way too low. I would have also expected much higher mileage numbers out of a Honda.

Well it does weight 4600 lbs. I believe the mileage to be good compared to other trucks in its class. Many of my customers were expecting a V8 but if that was the case, you'd see about 10-12mpg and they wouldn't sell.

Thought the towing capacity to be a bit low . Maybe not for a V-6, but for a "Full-Sized" Truck in it's class :wink:. I was hoping for a V-8 as a replacement for my Silvy 1500. Maybe next year :biggrin: are you listening Honda?

Honda is currently running a gasoline V8; hopefully this will be the mother of all Honda V8.

Terrific truck - wish I had the spare change to buy one. It is kind of expensive IMO.
