Here you go everybody..

Who builds a better looking truck??

Looked at an 04 Tundra crew today. Limited edition with all options .. even back seat DVD less than 10K on Odometer ...

Ridgeline sticker 33k Tundra 32k (with a better warranty)

As much as I like Honda they still don't get the truck concept :dunno:

I had an 02 Tundra, and man was it nice!! I loved that truck. The darn thing just got too expensive when i went through my divorce or I might still have it. I miss the sound of the V8. :biggrin: I would have to say that I would go with the Tundra again.

i dont really like either, but if i had to chose i'd pick the ridgeline. the tundra, while nice, looks just like any other truck. the ridgeline looks quirky in an Element sort of way, and its kinda growing on me...

best looking truck? i'd vote on the Titan. :yes:

Nice thread I1.

If I bought a truck today it would be the Tundra hands-down. If I bought a truck next year, I would at least test drive the Ridgeline. I won't buy a firsy year production vehicle. Honda has some good ideas. Most people don't use a truck as a truck so the Ridgeline fits that majority well. However, I like the looks of the Tundra.

Tundra. the poor honda looks like a avalance that got washed in hot water and dried in hot air and shrunk. If ford dosent revamp the ranger in a big way,,, my next truck will be a tacoma. Honda dosent make a truck. They make a suv thats missing apart of the roof and some glass.

In my dealings with Toyota the rumors are getting more common that Toyota is building another truck :thmsup: Not sure if they are revamping frame and suspension on Tundra or totally new truck. Supposedly it's going to be a 3/4- 1 ton truck. They are going after Fords commercial business since Ford is having so many problems with their new Trucks(Tranny's).

one of the reasons that I bought the Tundra was the crash test ratings. It blew away the dodge and ford full size, while the chevy was actually pretty close to the Toyota. I liked the Chevy's looks but felt more comfortable buying a Toyota. I dont know if ford has improved the integrity of its cabs, but the test that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety did made it look like no one would walk away from the ford, while the Tundra didnt even flex. I wonder how the Ridgeline did. I would venture to guess that it passed with flying colors!! :thmsup:
