Default Re: Sold my Tundra

Wow, I didn’t read through all the comments but a lot of people don’t like Honda, that’s for sure! I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Honda and Acura and though I have not had any problems with the Tundra so far, there is no question that the quality of materials and design are much better in Honda, but that is just my opinion. Better materials, solid switches and knobs, etc. in the Honda/Acura for sure, but those aren’t critical for me anyway… just something I noticed and as long as the Tundra holds up, I can’t complain.
However, a few things kept me from the Ridgeline primarily… 1) It was just a lot smaller than I liked it to be (I’m almost 6’5”), 2) It drives front-wheel drive most of the time and only kicks in the rear wheels when slippage on the fronts occur… I just couldn’t see that benefiting a vehicle that is meant to haul things, 3) Gas mileage was much worse than I thought it would be and no better than most full-size trucks, and 4) It was just too pricey for what you get, especially since it had the same V6 that is in the Camry and virtually every major Honda vehicle. Otherwise, I can see why it would be a good vehicle to get... but, like some have said, neither the Ridgeline or Tundra is going to suit everyone's needs. In my case, the Tundra is great and I love it, but that doesn't mean others would come to that same conclusion.
