Wow, too rough a ride? I sold my 06 Tundra for an 08 Chev Duramax diesel 3/4 ton 4x4 Z71 Crew in LTZ trim with the 6 speed Allison tranny. I LOVE this truck but it is not a soft ride. Apples and oranges is what this very long thread has been about. Seems some are a bit unsecure or protective of their decisions. Have not driven a new Tundra but my 06 4x4 CC rode like a car and never gave me a bit of trouble (except a slight drive line vibration). It was more quiet than the 07 taurus I rented on a Idaho trip. I wish you luck with your new Honda Ridgeline, one of my customers has one and I really like riding in it. But I gotta say, when I crank over my DMax and that diesel fires up I feel like doing Tim Allen grunts. If your paying for it then your opinions on the vehicle are the ONLY one that should matter....still fun to share though.
