It's definitely huge. And the funny thing is that unless you get the standard cab with 8-foot bed, the Ram's bed is only 6" wider and 14" longer than the Ridgeline's. Yes that's bigger, but not proportionally with the relative YUGE-ness of the vehicles.
If it was $25k I'd consider it. |

I know Bren thinks otherwise, but unless you're a contractor, long bed trucks don't make much sense to me. I've not once had an instance where I couldn't transport what I needed in the 6.5" beds of trucks I've had. Granted, I don't buy a lot of drywall, sheathing, etc.
And if you're not going to tow a lot or carry big, heavy loads very often, the Ridgeline makes a lot of sense. But then again, I tow a lightweight aluminum car trailer with a relatively lightweight car on it... using a 3/4 ton diesel pickup rated for more than 25,000 lbs. |

6.5" bed. Lol. sigh.
I'm with you on the Colorado. Small trucks made sense when they were small. The Colorado is not small. It's just less capable. |

I have a former Air Force neighbor who speaks just like Fred Willard’s character in Spinal Tap. Except it’s not a joke.

This is our monthly "At Ease" weekend. It gives us a chance to let our hair down, although I see you've got a head start in that department. I shouldn't talk, though, I'm getting a little shaggy myself. I'd better not stand too close to you, people might think I'm part of the band. I'm joking, of course.
