speaking of those Ridgelines have any of you guys out there taken one for a test drive? I really like them and am curious learning more.

i had a really good look at one yesterday. couple points I loved-

1) tailgate opens both up/down and like a conventional tailgate
2) there's a lockable trunk, about the size of the s2k's, under the floor of the flatbed.
3) the interior is gorgeous, especially the leather/nav combo

I know there are some big Ridgeline fans out there so I apologize for being so critical, however as someone about ready to take delivery of a brand new Nissan Titan I feel I'm entitled.

Obviously the Ridgeline is not competing against the Titan and I have no intention of comparing them. There is though one thing I really hate about the Ridgeline that is a standard feature on Titan, Frontier, F-150, Tundra, and maybe new Tacoma - there is a lock on the tailgate!!!

Sure the Ridgeline has a cute trunk and it's lockable, but to me it is assinine to sell a hard tonneau cover for the entire truck bed when you can't secure/lock anything in it. If you go someplace in a Ridgeline and you have something in the bed that is too big for the trunk, there is no way to lock it up. I'm sorry, but that does not cut it for me.

Sometimes the little things matter...

Exactly!

What kills me is how the Ridgeline gets ripped to shreads on other pickup forums, it's like they just don't get it.

WIth the leather package, the backseats are quite something. Very Jap-luxurious for a pick-em-up truck.

The only thing for Honda to do is to bring out a V8 that revs to 7000rpm.
