Man, that is a bummer.....Ford needing to lay off 30,000 workers and close 14 plants. That really sucks. Well, Chrysler had to restructure, GM is going through restructuring, so I guess it was only a matter of time that FMC had to restructure too. Hopefully they will come outta this...

Yeah, I figured as much, Tom. Nothing wrong with that. As I have said several times, this is the first import I have ever owned, so we'll see how it goes. I have always believed in "keeping our money at home", but the line between "domestic" and "import" are getting so blurred these days...

Maybe the real problem is.....you're biased AGAINST Japanese Automakers? :) Personally I don't that that the media is biased towards the Japanese Automakers, but they could very well be. I am not an expert on that subject. But I think the JA are held to to a higher standard. I...

Mud Flap - "RLowner, if you like your truck then thats all that matters. Most here obviously loves their ST so their going to defend it ....." MF, I didn't come here to cut down the ST. If you read all of my posts, there is not one of them where I trash the ST in any way. I did not come...

Well, you won't get any argument from me there, Gavin. I guess I misunderstood your meaning (Sarcasim doesn't translate well through the written word).... Plus, I was just trying to be a little politically correct, but yeah, like I said, the B3 have a ways to go. The reason I got rid of my...

TrainTrac - "Tom may have a point. I don't think the reliability of Honda products is being disputed, but Toyota's first attempt at a larger-than-compact truck (T100) just couldn't compete, and therefore didn't sell all that well after it's initial introduction. Subsequently, they went back to...

Darin, I agree!

Tom - "My money says the RL will be an embaresment to Honda and they will build the next truck with an actual frame like the others do." Hey Tom, while you're looking into the future, could you give me the winning numbers for the next Powerball drawing? Thanks. Seriously, now why...

Gavin - "It may be ugly, but it sure is a fast, reliable, powerful, strong, half-ton truck with excellent reliability ratings!" I can live with that.

Tom - "Looks like we found RL's Ridgeline." How the heck did you get pictures of my truck?!?! Kidding....but that is pretty sweet. Tom - "How can a vehicle with no track record have reliability ratings that are favorable?" Go read the article and find out. Tom - "The...

Knobleman – “And I agree with Caymen, if you say you're a 1/2 ton truck…” In your attempt to rewrite history, you should at least take a minute to get your facts straight. I DID NOT say the RL is a ½ ton pickup. Tom was the one who was all upset with Honda “misleading” the...

Knobleman - "The Ridgeline makes the Avalanche, the Vehicross, the Aztek, and the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile look like Aston Martins." And, what, the ST looks like a work of art? No, it looks like what a pickup is "supposed" to look like. The old tired "Let's stick 3 boxes together, throw 4...

Caymen - "You choose not to see my definition of a 1/2 ton truck. There is not true definition....". EXACTLY! You choose a definition that suits your purposes and that suits this discussion. I think if a vehicle meets the minimum standards of a 1/2 ton pickup, it may be called a 1/2 ton...

Caymen - "My definition of a half ton truck is this.....A 1/2 ton truck should match the performance and capibilities of all other 1/2 ton trucks...It is a FWD system. It is unibody. It does not tow what a 1/2 ton truck tows. It does not haul what a 1/2 ton truck can haul. It does not have the...

Well, Q.... you did a good job of it (Pushing my buttons)! I totally agree. As I mentioned in a previous thread....I thought this exchange has been fun....and amusing and interesting, all at the same time. Yes, both vehicles have their pros and cons, and neither one of them are perfect...

Caymen - "Like I said, give me the definition of a 1/2 ton truck." No, don't try and turn the tables. What my defintion is...... is irrelevant. I asked you what your definition of a 1/2 ton truck is. You are the one who said Honda calling the RL a 1/2 ton truck is "misleading". I am...

Tom - "Blah, blah, blah....minivan....blah, blah, blah...". You still DID NOT answer my question...... Tom - "The same goes for the Ridgeline. There is no way I would even consider towing anything more then 3000 LBS with a RL. FWD cars are not ment for towing. The front ends can not...

Sorry...didn't get a chance to reply to the above posts because I was off for 3 days on a little vacation with my family. OK....where were we.... Q - "You would not blow the doors off of most tracs here since we're mod'd a lot." So, you are saying the only way a ST can compare with a...

Divetac - "My 7-year-old doesn't argue like this. When will you guys give the, "my truck is better than yours" argument the heave-ho? When will you start behaving like mature adults? " Yeah....well, he started it!!! :D

Q – “See Dodge Dakota? What a joke! The Dodge Dakota can run circles around the RL in towing capacity and torque”. Hey Q, go back and look at the post again. Was I talking torque? No, I was talking HP. I was saying that the RL V6 has more HP than a DD V-8. Q – “IT'S A...
