Title: My New Truck/SUV
Post by: HighOnSmoke 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.

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.

Nice truck Mike.   Worked on Hondas for 29 years you bought a good truck.   My 99 Accord has 300k on
It and still runs great

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.

Mike I will let you come to our tailgates anytime with that truck. I gave up my Durango with 285,00 miles for a Toyota van with 210,000 ??? ??? ??? I would love one of those in my driveway. Best of luck.

Congratulations, that is nice.  A friend at work bought one a couple of months ago after wrecking his 2016 Tundra.
