and didn't buy anything. I was seriously hunting for a Ridgeline. IT just seems to tick all the boxes. Especially since I don't use the truck as a truck.
I thought if there was a good enough deal I would give it a go.......I went on a LONG 30-minute test ride by myself. I got looking at all the tech. The " truck" is as smooth as glass and very quiet. almost felt like a "luxury" vehicle. Fit and finish are outstanding. The 9 speed is nice and it hauls enough ass.
I love the bed accessories. 110 V outlet where it belongs, A very deep lockable trunk in a bed. 2 Set of Golf clubs would fit easily. Then there is the option to open the tailgate sideways as well as the conventional way..The Tailgate must weigh 40 pounds. Tried the speaker in the box...It would be great for tailgating or camping. Neither of which I do lol
I would say if one wants an SUV with a bed, Nothing else comes close AWD is just that Not meant for crock climbing. Those days ended for me 25 years ago
MSRP $42K Given the upscale interior and all the options I can imagine It's a really nice TRV
Knowing I was not going to make a deal, I had them run the numbers...(nobody was there......)
So let's talk Ranger first because I want to know what they would stroke a check right now for my Ranger (That's called ACTUAL CASH VALUE No funny money deals Two Separate deals) for my truck . (I've used this tactic when car shopping)
They offered $27K real money on a $42,000 truck that is barely discounted. OH well, It was fun playing anyway.
I love my Ranger but I am not one who is faithful to one brand. I buy the best truck at the time One thing I would not do to the Honda is lift kits . In fact, All I would do is cover the bed, and attach my forever love AVS II Bug. It's not a hobby truck. So they wanted to stroke a check out for my truck for $19K So I give them $8000 and lease for 36 months at $400....MMM AND 6.5% INTEREST!! Maybe in two years,, OR NEVER...,LOL Like That will ever happen......
Practical with a great reputation But I will pass for now..... Nothing wrong with kicking a few tires and see where you stand. I've done that a lot of times most of the time not buying but I usually find a diamond in the rough if I do it long enough
So you guys are going to have to deal with my whims for a while longer
