Lookin at taking the dive and getting a new truck tomorrow finally. Right now it’s between a Chevy Silverado or a new Honda Ridgeline. Im 6’4’’ and the ridgeline has a ton of head room and a shit ton of other super cool things about it. My main problem with it is everone says it’s a chick car and it’s already annoyed me enough to not want to buy one. Not that I care what people think too terribly much, but on top of that it’s $44,000 for the black edition which is what I want, and the wheels look like they could go on a Ford Fiesta.
My main gripes with the Silverado are it feels like a tractor driving it in the city where I live, they lose value quick, and I guess that’s about it.
What kind of trucks do you guys roll in? Any ridgeline owners? I already know Matthew has one. (Another con) jk

Quick, look cool, easy to drive and park in the city.

Cant believe you guys prefer the curvyness of the Ram over the tough square look of the Chevy.
The grill on a chevy looks a million times better then the big RAM lettering.
PS - The square wheel openings on the current GM trucks is the worst offense out of any of the new pickups. It's minor, but I can't get over it, it's terrible.
I don't know how to shoe th picture but this is an idea of what a truck should look like (for me).
Not sure if you're a Ram fan, but my parents have a 1500 ecodiesel and it's pretty awesome. It get's really good gas mileage too.
I have so many friends that own big v8 trucks that will chirp the shit out of a Honda Ridgeline but I can assure you none of those friends even use a truck for "Truck" things.
Most ive seen in the bed of a truck is a case of beer and groceries lol.
If they all had Ridgelines they would be doing the exact same thing but probably an overall better driving experience.
Not one pulls a trailer, not one has left the streets of the Great Toronto Area
I had a 98 Tacoma that did more overloaded hauling, offroading, "truck" things than all these brand new trucks haha.
ANYWAYS, pick what you feel is practical. Although I am not entirely a fan on the front end look of the Ridgeline, I would buy it if thats the proper tool for the job I need it for.
Just use your gut, talk to a good salesguy and seperately talk to a dealership mechanic if you can (not a parts sales guy) and pick which will make you happy.
