My New Truck/SUV
« Reply #-1 on: August 29, 2017, 06:26:29 PM »
I took my wife to Savannah last night to look at new Honda's. Her car was a 2010 Toyota with 112k miles and needed some
major work on it. She ended up buying a 2017 Honda HRV. I jokingly mentioned to the Sales Manager that if the price was right
on a new Ridgeline that I would trade my 2007 Dodge Nitro. That is when it got serious  8). He crunched some numbers, gave
me a little more than what I wanted for my Nitro (which I had already checked prices) so we traded. Funny thing is this was without
my Nitro on the lot. I picked up my new 2017 Ridgeline this morning and am loving it! I had been researching the Ridgelines for
the past year. I loved my SUV, but wanted a truck, so now I have the best of both worlds.













The ultimate tailgate vehicle. The storage area in the bed has room for a 84 quart cooler with wheels and will still lock.
Can't beat that!

Great looking truck and you got the full cab, smart. I have a Tundra with access cab and regret it since.
Love to cook and eat

What a great looking truck Mike! I was not familiar with the design changes Honda has made - now the Ridgeline really is a truck. Like it a lot!

Mike, love the new pick 'em up truck. Hope that you'll take me on a demonstration ride in it in Byron in October.

I like it, Mike!!  When are we going on a road trip to break it in.  Tee could come along to test out the interior truck air filter for you.

WOW!

What a fine lookin' truck!  Like Don, I'm wanting to see it at the Cookout in October.  I really like the way the tailgate works both ways.
