Honda Ridgeline unveiled next month

[carries an axe]

I don't see anyone disagreeing that crew cabs are expensive.

Honestly I like it if the price tag was around 28k for the awd but we know that ain't happening

I don't see anyone disagreeing that crew cabs are expensive.

This person wants a crew cab 4x4/AWD for $28k. This person is not realistic.

numerous examples of 4x4 trucks under or at 28k (and I wasn't hoping I was stating I wouldn't pay more FOR THAT)were presented to you but I guess it's too hard to see. Never said I wanted a crew cab. I said I would like it at that price. In all honesty I wouldn't buy it. I'd just buy another cummins. I tow 10k+ trailers, boats, motorcycles, all stuff a truck like this can't do. Just a simple statement saying for something that we don't even know will stack up to a midsize truck besides putting your gardening tools from osh in the back 35k+ doesn't seem reasonable

Thanks for playing, insert another quarter to continue.

Show us your new 2016 turbo diesel 4x4 crew cab for $28k. Only then can you prove your point. But here is a dose of reality....you need $60,000 to play that game.

If you require a $60,000 truck for your needs, why are you posting on a Ridgeline thread? Makes no sense brah.

that's a gmc...... Brah you keep looking up the most expensive shit lol plus never said I'd buy new

cant tell you how many gm trucks I towed where the front wheel fell off driving on the freeway. All lifted of course. everyone does a lift and keeps all the other components stock which eventually leads to axle failure at the hub which then shears itself off

Well yah but when peeps modify their ride with structurally unsound changes, that's not the manufacturer's fault.

Step into the Ridgeline world...

Do you see any other well-equipped 4WD/AWD trucks for $28k? Even the Frontier, by far the most outdated and last redesigned in 2004...new vehicles are not cheap.

Not for $28K, but Colorado's/ Canyons can be had for just under $30K if you really shop hard for them.

The best bargain in luxury trucks is the Ram Laramie 1500 4x4. They can be had for a hair over $40K with good shopping...for a truck that MSRP's at $52K or so.

I like the looks and the interior of the Ridgeline. It actually is a pretty compelling case for someone who doesn't need a traditional truck. I'd try one out, but it falls short in a few key areas for me. The bed being too small is the largest problem.

 

[KWeezyXB12]

I like it but I really hope they price it competitively cuz if they make it in the price range of the Tacoma Trd I don't think it will do well.

 

[Holeshot]

I'm not so sure, Kyle. The effort is very different from a Toyota. Honda's customers are middle energy families. That's not a Tacoma customer.

Hopefully the Ridgeline will give Toyota a kick in the ass to finally do something with the spartan Tacoma interior...

I get what you're saying but Hondas direct competitor is probably Toyota and IMO people who shop for a Honda also look at Toyotas and vice-versa. I just think pricing it just below a Tacoma it would do very well and I would be interested. I'll just have to tow pop up campers instead of toy haulers

This thread delivers

that really depends on different trim levels you're comparing.

in my case it was 500.
that bought me standard parking sensors a better nav system nicer wheels and deleted most of the chrome compared to Chevy.
i'm willing to pay that if it doesn't look like my truck came out of some sort of western theme park

if you compare apples to apples generally comes to around that same number.
you'll have no problem shopping around for a bad deal if you want one.

I'd like to know how that was calculated, including whether it's equivalized by number of miles, and age/experience of driver. Subcompacts are likely driven by younger people.

Google it. The IIHS publishes the data. They've been doing it for over 20 years and the data's always been the same. Death rates are much lower on bigger heavier vehicles. And it's death rate, i.e., it's all adjusted to million miles driven. You are the death rate on a subcompact is 3x what it is on a large SUV. If you recall, years ago, at the height of the anti-SUV nonsense, some of the major insurance companies proposed lowering rates on SUVs due to the lower payouts they were having to make and the whiners' heads collectively exploded. "But, but, but....they flip more easily..." Yeah, they do, but flips are a very small percentage of accidents and, overall, you're way safer in an SUV than passenger car, 2x safer than a car in general.

$28k for the new one? The Ridgeline I shopped in 2007 was over $31k back then and would have been more if I wanted what the Japanese think passes for leather in the interior. The sticker range was $28-33k back then.
