Truk Talk: Invest in Trukcoin!

It was more appealing when VW still had the 6/72 bumper-bumper warranty at the time of the concept's debut.

The most interesting thing to me is the ability to get a full 6' bed when needed.

You can always get a warranty to 100k for what... 2k? when buying new... That seems like a near non issue.

Or I just go for the Hyundai which comes with that warranty from the start. I don't buy extended warranties.

I don’t see the ridgeline vs taco advantage due to the frame sitch... I mean the taco is about the same weight ... has about the same power, close to the same price. It’s more like a preference at this point. The ridgeswine probably gets better mpg but it is also wrong wheel drive

Ridgeline should get better fuel economy, likely only marginal though.
Full time AWD is likely better for most people most of the time than manually selectable RWD/4WD systems. The latter obviously superior for off roading.
Ridgeline has coil spring independent rear suspension. So it will guaranteed drive better on normal roads.
Ridgeline also has far more interior room for linebackers than the Taco.

That's a decent read. It all depends on what you want to do with the truck. Daily driving, carrying around a mountain bike, trips to costco, and the occasional gravel road to a trailhead the Ridgeline would be a nice but ugly pick. Rock crawling and hauling, work truck stuff, the other entries are better.

I hear the Ridgelines drive extremely well.

This could be an intriguing truck, and it seems like other manufacturers are looking at jumping into the cheap unibody truck game. Ford has their version in the works, and VW had that interesting concept last year.

I actually kinda like the newer Ridgelines. It'd be on my list to consider if I only needed a bed for basic yard work stuff.

My mom's boyfriend has a new Ridgeline and one of the reasons he bought it is exactly for that reason. It rides well on the roads compared to my Colorado (much smoother) and he doesn't haul anything more than a few loads of mulch/dirt/straw a year to repair the backyard from their two massive German Shepards. Only other thing he hauls is golf clubs, and now that they live less than a block from the clubhouse, they just get to keep a golf cart in the garage anyway and don't really have to drive their cars to the course.

Makes sense. No need for a if you aren't doing any heavy lifting or towing. I've never been in one of the newer ones, but I imagine the interiors are more in line with a Honda sedan than a typical truck.

I'd also rather have a Ridgeline than a Taco.

Ridgeline is great on paper. But yes, looks like a

This is my wife's hang up with them. Thinks they look atrocious. I've obviously got horrible taste because I kind of like the look.

It's on par with the interiors of the SUV/CUVs in their lineup, yes. It does ride much nicer on the road than a normal truck, and he's done a lot of heavy yard work with it honestly. Combined with my moms Explorer, they're pretty covered for any projects that come up.

I actually liked the last gen. It wasn't pretty, but it was butch looking, at least.

And the trunk under the bed is really fucking cool.

His still has that in the bed and it makes a great cooler for when we go to golf courses together in different counties. One less thing to pack in the bed and easy to just pull the plug and let it drain.

I waffle between thinking they look ok to thinking the proportions are awkward.
Same with the new Passport. Which is probably what I should buy.

Honda are the kings of space utilization. The in bed trunk is great. One major drawback of pickups is they don’t have a secure out of sight place to store general shit. This does.

I saw a white passport the other day and it reminds me of the short bus from Dumb and Dumber-er.

I'd much rather last gen RDX for 65% of the price of seat fits.

Yeah I mean it’s a slightly shorter Honda Pilot. The side view on them is awkward as hell.

Is a truk with a bed cap no longer a truk?
You’re right. I should have put this in sedan chat.

Every time I see truk ramz that are actually good looking I take note. These are sweet ramz. There are literally hundreds of atrocious looking truck and SUV rims, the moto metal shit being the most egregious offenders.

Those look dope. I love the dark bronze looking rims.
My moms neighbor has some on his white F-150. Not sure of the brand or anything.

So much fake bead lock, spikes, and other "features". These are great due to the simplicity. I'm really an OEM kinda guy, they are typically best.

My neighbor has a BroRunner with the Max posted and they are
