People are PASSING on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma for this?

- The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma hasn’t gotten the best reviews… and rightfully so. Lots of quality control issues, transmissions failing, made entirely out of Mexico, and the price tag is out of touch with reality for a midsize pickup. Most trims are right at $50K… and the Tacoma TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims are over $65K. Pure insanity.
When there’s the 2024 Honda Ridgeline. In this video I showcase two trims, a Trail Sport and Black Edition. With price tags right at $46,800… are these better options to consider? The Honda Ridgeline still offers a naturally aspirated V6 engine, made in America, and has fears excellent peace of mind when it comes to reliability. Much better than the 2024 Tacoma anyway.
Would you choose the Honda over the Toyota? Feels strange to say it… but I think I would.

You’re basically gambling at this point if you buy any new Toyota truck.
That applies to any vehicle
@@dudeyo4579 that’s a fact… unfortunately
@@Drohead20 you must have just bought one
@@Drohead20not if you get a 24 4Runner
As soon as I saw the price tag for 41,000 on an SR 4x4 and 53,000 on a TRD off road. I went across to the Honda dealership. They had a 2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL HPD for 40,000.
With 36 month financing, there was a 1500 dollar incentive and 0.9% interest rate. My final out the door price was 40,650.
If you don't know what RTL comes with.
It comes with everything the Tacoma Limited has. HPD comes with a little extra, like a wheel package.
I don't go off road so Honda works for me. 28 mpg is a huge plus.
Rear bedtrunk is awesome to have.
The truck bed is also larger than most other midsize trucks.
i just got a 23 sport with 6800 miles for 36k out the door.... i paid cash
Bingo! Ridgeline has AWD, bigger interior, better bed, AAAAAND THREE ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL
Also, the ride quality of Ridgeline is way better, right?
@@popeyerubi1981 very much so. Night and day difference.
Just get an older used truck. Save money, don’t pay stupid apr. pay with cash if you can. Having something new and sexy, that shine doesn’t last long, it’s not worth it.
haha i don't want an old truck. in fact i'll sell you mine since i have a new one too
Facts!
💯 but the vast majority of people are imbeciles!!! Don’t forget vehicle tax, insurance premium
I bought a 2024 Frontier b/c the APR was a lot more for a used one, which I was open to buying.
Most banks and credit unions have lower APRs for current year models. The older the vehicle the higher the APR. I agree that if you have the cash, buy a older truck. Your truck has many enemies: depreciation, bugs, tar, the suns UV rays, heat, time, other drivers, nails, hail, jerks in a parking spot, rocks from rock haulers, etc. Plus with new vehicles you now have to work around an invasion of privacy.
I traded my 2018 Tacoma for a Ridgeline. Wow! It's drives way better! People are Tacoma hypnotized. Get out of your Taco shell.
Truck snobs need to get over this "Not a real truck" mentality. The Ridgeline is a SOLID pickup.
@@trl1980 I’d definitely consider one 👌
Hahaha...so true! The Ridgeline deserves more respect.
Actually I’m seriously considering the Ridgeline, ppl say it’s not a real truck that’s ok I’m not a real man🤣😂
@@phillyfathead lol 😂 there was a point where I wouldn’t have considered a ridgeline… but now I’m all for it lol. I’m with you man!
It's funny how people's truck define their manhood. 😂 Give me the drama free Ridgeline please.
I bought one in March and I love it, it is a really comfortable daily driver, bigger backseat and the bed trunk is great for my tools for work no more putting them in the cab.
My nephew gave me crap saying it’s a girl truck then I took him for a ride and he changed his tune.
@@MrJwh3000 you are exactly right. Most people I know that own trucks don't leave gravel and barely use the bed. It's a status symbol.
As long as you're not towing 10k lbs or climbing boulders, the Ridgeline is all most people need.
Frontier or Ridgeline is the only midsize truck Id consider because of the engine
The Honda 3.5 in the Ridgeline is a rock solid engine that Honda has improved over 20 years. The Full time all wheel drive is based on the Super handling All wheel drive engineered by Acura. Honda over the Tacoma for me.
Yeah the Honda would give much better peace of mind for sure. 👌
I can confirm that 3.5L V6 is a fantastic motor. I have three of them. 2008 Honda Odyssey 209,000'ish miles original owner, 2017 Honda Accord 3.5L V6 Touring at around 100,000 original owner, and a 2020 Acura MDX 3.5L V6 at around 65,000 miles. Combined I have closing in on 400,000 miles and they've been trouble free with regular maintenance.
@@SuperSnakePlissken that’s awesome to hear man. Thank you sharing! Hope you had a great weekend.
@@SuperSnakePlisskenI agree I have a 2007 Acura Tl type s that’s very fast and reliable plus a 2021 Ridgeline that seems bulletproof. Honda 3.5 for the win
I'm favoured, $50K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my communitv and also support God's work and the church.God bless

You trade also?, I
No I don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance

Reliability is there and a good option over Tacoma, but it’s a unibody frame and not body on frame like Frontier. Still like Frontier as best option in midsize when looking long term and affordability.
my choice was between frontier and ridgeline. i chose the latter and am selling my v8 tundra
I'll use payload more than towing. I'm not sure what I really think about 900lbs payload.
@@CT-gc1ck 900lbs payload? that's tiny... that's what happens when people want just a car and they make a Truck work like a car. My friends Frontier has a 1490 lbs payload, works good enough for the size.
@@AyaWetts the low payload is the pro-4x
@@AyaWettsmy Ridgeline has 1477 lb payload, my 2021 Tacoma off-road had 900 lb
I own a 2013 Ridgeline and would absolutely buy another one. It's been extremely reliable and has exceeded my already high expectations for a Honda. I think the ride quality, cabin space, rear folding seats flat floor, dual action tailgate and in-bed trunk storage are major selling points. Once you have these things in a mid-size truck all other options currently available are less appealing. I will stick with the Ridgeline unless I need a full size truck at some point. Then I would go with a Tundra.
My parents bought a 2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL right before the pandemic and have absolutely loved it. My Dad calls it, "The perfect city truck". He can still do the chores around the house and yard with the small bed, but rides and drives like the Honda Pilot they had before. For what it is it gets great gas mileage and V6 with no turbos attached to it so they love it.
I have ridden in it many times and find it very comfortable and think it is is a great alternative if you are not looking for an off road truck.
The Ridgeline has grown on me recently. Seems to be very practical for most people. I would definitely consider it over the 4th Gen Taco. If I were buying a mid-size truck, it would be between the Ridgeline, Frontier or possibly that Colorado Trail Boss.
@@PrepperDawg I’m with you on that. I’m between the ridgeline and frontier… leaning towards the Nissan though. Just don’t need a midsize truck.
I would 100% buy a ridgeline over a Tacoma today
Sure you would 😂
My cousin & nephew did that same think; Cousin shopped Toyota, Nephew shopped Nissan, both drove home in a Ridgeline.
Not only is the Ridgeline still made in America....it is the MOST American made truck sold in the US of ANY truck of any size. I appreciate that too.
That is awesome to know 👌 💯
Own a black edition 24 Traded a 12k mile jeep diesel that cratered. I couldn’t be happier. 21.5 mpg city AWD and it scoots. The bed configuration is storage city. Very comfortable and well equipped. Ext warranty to 80 k was $1800 . Great handling and comfort. No BS. Turn off the stop start.
@@bigskimeisterful that’s great to hear man! 🙌 glad you’re enjoying yours.
I have a 22 Ridgey RTL-E, fully accessorized. Including rails and boards. Costed me $43K. When the new 24 Tacos were introduced I was gaga over them because of their styling and 14” monitor, and couldn’t wait to trade, until I realized I wanted a Limited you cannot find and it is now unaffordable at $53K-$57K. Then after learning that they only have 4 cylinder turbos and no V6 options, I decided to stay with the Ridgeline.
Love my 2024 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport with 1.5 leveling kit.😍
Add the HPD package and looks amazing 😍
If I just needed a weekend hauler and daily commuter maybe light trail the Honda would be my go to. I wouldn’t buy a Tacoma in any case, too expensive.
I cannot say enough great things about the Honda Ridgeline. I have owned three Honda Ridgelines and in June I became the proud owner of a 2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition exactly like the one in your video.
I even kept my 2012 Honda Ridgeline RTL which presently has 304,000 trouble free miles on it and is the best vehicle I have ever owned.
More people need to just try a Ridgeline and if you are like myself will fall in love with them.
It has so many cool features like the tailgate that opens two ways and the in bed trunk.
Honda Ridgelines are awesome. It's all the truck most people will ever need.
That is great to hear man! Thank you for sharing! 💯
You didn't mention the fact that the Ridgeline has a tailgate that funtions two ways; Normally, like a pickup and it also opens like a door. Another side benefit is that it has a lockable trunk with a drain just inside the tailgate. There is a space saver spair tire and jack in there as well without consuming any trunk space. It also has all wheel drive.
I recently sold my 2013 TX Baja Tacoma and purchased a 24 Black Edition Ridgeline. Was tired of the rough ride, interior room and slow acceleration with the 33” wheels. So far I love the smooth drive of the Ridgeline with allot more room.
Ridgeline is the best midsize truck for about the last five years.
Bigger interior. Better mpg. Three zone climate control. AWD. Better bed. Much much better price.
I just got a 2021 Ridgeline RTL with 32k miles. I love it, it has more space than a new Tacoma or the third gen Tacoma
If people are leaving tacos for the ridgeline goes to show most taco bros don’t need any truck capability 🤣
Isn't choice great?
I mean it's a mid size truck. People who buy mid size trucks don't need a lot out of a truck. If they did, they would buy a full size. I would actually be perfectly fine with a 2024 Toyota Pickup with the 22RE engine, single cab, and long bed. That is more than enough for me.
@@westcoastplinkin6559 except ridgeline is a unibody isn't it?? lol its a meme truck might as well that santa cruz truck
Had a 2023 Ridgeline, one of the best vehicles I have ever owned…. Had to sell it because it could not handle my large boat and trailer. Purchased a F150 which is a better tow vehicle.
Owned a 2003 SR5 4 cylinder and a 2007 V6 Tundra. I bought a 2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL. No regrets. Would NEVER purchase a turbo mid-sized truck, so no Chevy, Toyota or other turbo 4 cylinder truck. Drove it across the country with ease, fully loaded with luggage and other items, due to our move from SoCal to Delaware. Good power, tailgate opens in both directions (down and across). I fully recommend this pickup. Oh, who cares about body on frame vs unibody. Unibody is smoother, so my wife loves it more!
Honda J35 engines are known to be very durable.
What do you think about the Nissan Armada? is the v8 reliable?
I like them. Almost bought one a couple times… the resale value just isn’t there =\
The capabilities between the Ridgeline and Tacoma are vastly different. The Ridgeline is a unibody Ute. The Tacoma is a body on frame truck. The Ridgeline is great for picking up 3 bags of mulch and a couple cans of paint for weekend projects. The Tacoma can really haul and tow with a greater payload. The Ridgeline is AWD while the Tacoma is 4WD with actual differentials and a locker.
You're brainwashed by truck snobs.
Picking up 3 bags of mulch is what most truck owners will actually do in real life.
@@amggeniuses4575 the Honda can actually haul more than the taco. Try reading.
@@MrJwh3000 Regardless, the Ridgeline is a “truck-like” utility vehicle and the Tacoma is an actual body on frame truck. 😀
@@amggeniuses4575 can't argue about the frame on Taco build but never heard of the phrase "truck like". If that's the case. The taco is not a truck compared to a 3500 Duramax GMC and the GMC is not a truck compared to a semi. Where does the bullshit end?
I had a 3rd generation Tacoma for years. I traded it in for a 2024 Tacoma off-road with the premium package. No regrets. It's faster, shifts quicker on acceleration, and I love the updated technology. I only financed $32,000 out the door after all the paperwork. Vehicles are your worst investment for money. I pay mine off within four years with low mileage since I only drive 12 miles round trip per day on my job 5 days a week. I do not live above my means on vehicles. I like my 2024 Tacoma. Like I say, so far, Toyota takes care of customers in my opinion. Your milage may vary. So be it.
The Black Edition comes in all the colors, not just black. It has heated and ventilated perforated two tone leather seats, premium stereo, a sunroof, their fantastic multi-way tailgate and lockable dry storage well in the bed. All Ridgelines are AWD. My area dealers are offering $3,500 off sticker. Mid $40's. Cheaper than an SR5 4x4.
I’ve talked to a few people that bought the 4the gen Tacoma out of curiosity. Two of them bought their TRD off road for 45k, one got his SR5 for 42k. And this is in Hawaii. I was quite surprised, as seeing how much they are going for on the mainland.
Yes, the Ridgeline has always been my first choice. While it's not a perfect mid-size truck, it excels in many areas. Let me outline who might not find the Ridgeline suitable: someone looking to lift their truck, tackle difficult trails, or tow more than 5,000 lbs. Aside from these limitations, I struggle to see why any other mid-size truck could be considered superior.
Consumer Reports ranks it as the most reliable mid-size truck, and for good reason. It also boasts one of the roomiest interiors, accommodating up to three child safety car seats comfortably in the second row. The Ridgeline offers the best ride quality and is highly fuel-efficient. It's also known for its durability, outlasting many other current-generation mid-size trucks.
Additionally, the bed is well-designed, featuring a dual-opening tailgate and a superior payload capacity compared to even my 2nd gen Tundra.
How timely is this video? My wife and I were talking about this last weekend that we should consider the Ridgeline since the Tacomo is getting so expensive now. I like the idea of a more comfortable ride, roomier rear seats, a tried the true non-aspirated V6 engine, and most importantly a lower price. I'm not kidding myself into thinking I need to ever go off-road enough to need a truck based frame, all I need is to be able to carry stuff in the bed. I think the Ridgeline is a great option.
I’m actually leaning heavily to the Ridgeline as my next truck I don’t care if someone else thinks it’s not a truck that doesn’t mean anything to me. I’m heavily leaning towards a 2025 black edition next year at almost 52 years old. I really want something comfortable and light hauling is fine with me. I have a 2020 SR5 Tacoma that I will eventually be sending to Belize for use there so I’ll be in the market for a new truck here.
I actually really like the Honda Ridgeline. I like the AWD system they have, bed system, and the Honda V6. Not a fan of the 9-speed or timing belt. I really do wish they had given it a lift for the Trailsport like they did with the Pilot. Ridgelines looks so much better with a 1.5 or 2 inch lift.
I trust the reliability of the Ridgeline more than the Tacoma right now. I have an Odyssey and its been a nearly flawless vehicle for the first two years I've owned it. I can't say that about any of my previous vehicles from the likes of Pontiac, Renault, Dodge, Jeep, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Scion (also Toyota), and Ford.
Compared to the Tacoma, yes I would most likely take a Ridgeline over it for my use case due to the Honda V6 reliability, interior design/quality, interior space, price, and excellent AWD system. However, I really don't like its ride height. I don't offroad much anymore, but when I do I prefer at least 8 inches of clearance.
I checked out a Colorado Z71 the other day. The interior was nice and reminded me of my old 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 Sport. The Chevy dealer treated me really well with no sales games or pressure. That was a nice change from Toyota. The truck's interior is tight, but I really liked it. Build quality from panel and button gaps looked very good. It's a GM product though so if I got it I would have to get the extended warranty. GM is still GM.
I think the black looks better imo. I would consider a ridgeline if I was in that market, but key word “consider”. I never drove one. I almost feel like I’d have to talk myself into it, because I’m not sure if I’d be happy with it and then I would end up regretting it. That’s hypothetical though. I’ll be honest one of those main reasons would be, because I’d feel I wasn’t driving a “tough” truck. I hate to have that mindset, but it’s a very true mindset lol.
You pretty much nailed it. They look much, much better with a 1.5 to 2 inch lift and some AT tires.
Driving wise, they drive stiff, but handle really, really well. The AWD system is night and day better than 2WD High or 4WD AUTO in most trucks when on the road or in the rain. To me, they drove pretty much exactly the same as the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor with the 3.7 and AWD albeit with higher center of gravity and stiffer rear suspension.
I recently traded in my 2019 RAM 1500 Limited. I wanted to downsize and drove the 24 Canyon Denali, 24 Ranger Lariat, and the 24 Tacoma Sport Premium. I hated them all. They all drive very rigid, and the interiors were kind of cheap feeling (not the Canyon, though). Then, with three battling it out---I test drove a 24 Ridgeline Black Edition. It blew me away! The acceleration, AWD, handling, comfort in the ride...just wow! It was $7k cheaper than the Tacoma, looks better than the Ranger, and was just different than the Canyon. Is it perfect? No, of course not. It has some weirdness to it. Smaller screen, no 360 cam, it sits lower, BUT that trunk and the under set storage are really nice. The back seat has way more room than the others, too. Oh, and it has a V6. Turbo 4s are meh...I'm pretty happy with it so far, and don't miss the RAM as much as I thought I would. I'm leasing it because I want to see what the next model will look like, but I'm sold on all of the features. I drive a Honda truck, and I'm good with that!
The only problem I have with the Ridgeline is no longer bed option. I need to actually move things like motorcycles without needing to pull a trailer, and a long bed is a must... but no one wants to make long enough beds normal in cheaper trucks any more... everyone wants a 4 door car with a small bed for whatever reason. The 6 foot bed on the Frontier or Tacoma is about it for smaller trucks any more, and those are only on certain lower trim options
I don’t understand why Honda still uses a timing belt.
Quieter, cheaper, easier to replace if needed?
That's the main reason that I haven't bought one yet.
Yeah pretty stupid
I’ve owned Hondas since the mid 80’s, never needed to replace a timing belt.
@@scottcline2272that's not a great reason considering Honda is considered one, if not the most reliable brand and has used timing belts for decades. Replace every 100k and no need to ever worry about it.
I just looked up prices here in Ontario Canada $54-61k before 13% tax . that’s full size prices , i did look at them back in 2022 and they were still around those prices
I'm actually contemplating one of these.
Looking to upsize/upgrade from my CRV. I don't off-road, I don't tow (can't really do it anyway in a small crossover) but looking for a comfortable ride; with SUV wagon back, or pickup bed back, for cargo room; naturally aspirated V6; 4x4 or AWD (I work maintenance at a university hospital, so I can't stay or work from home, in inclement weather) for snow. Something with more cargo room, passenger room, and more horsepower then what I have now, and I don't need a third row seat.
From Toyota: either 4runner or Tacoma. From Honda: either Passport or Ridgeline. CPO or new.
Not only is the Ridgeline better option than the Tacoma, I would also choose that gray Passport over the 2025 4Runner
I've had a 2nd and 3rd gen taco and loved both of them. The only thing I hated on my 3rd gen TRD o/r was the payload at only 965 lbs.
I'm currently in the market for a truck, between the engines, price and payload, I'm actually really considering a Ridgeline.
If you want more payload you get a single cab with 2WD
@@westcoastplinkin6559 I understand that, but that just won’t work for me.
My local Ontario Canada dealer just got a 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter. MSRP is $85,507. Tax is 13% so we’re now up to $96,623. Still need to add some fees. Finance? 7.29% for 84 months! That’s $1,200/month plus 13% tax for the next 7 years. But it’s a hybrid so you’ll save at the pumps 😂 Imagine how much driving you’ll have to do to justify this. Mind you our gas is currently $1.67/litre but never buying one in any event. Keeping my 2023 4Runner Limited and getting buried in it!
Love the Ridgeline and own it. Best vehicle I have ever had.
Are you serious! For that- lmao hahaha no way
Yep, no way
When you look at the options you get for 46k on the Trailsport it’s a better deal than the Tacoma.
I would definitely buy the Honda over the Toyota. If people stop buying vehicles made in Mexico or China, they will stop building them there.
100% honda
Thank you for showing this to me - I do like that trailsport quite a bit. Between it and the Nissan it's great to have some good choices.
I bought the Trailsport over the black edition because the BE has the piano black on the center console and I’m not a fan.
I had a 21 Tacoma Off-road and I loved the look of it but for everyday driving it sucked, the Ridgeline is just a lot more comfortable and has better interior space and the bed trunk is awesome.
If I buy a 4x4, it has to be body-on-frame, because it is very rugged where I live and we get floods from the mountains, but aside from that one detail, I'd buy the Ridgeline for sure if I were city driving frequently! I have driven a relative's Ridgeline multiple times, especially in the winter and just loved it! Yeah, it has the utility of a truck, excellent AWD system and comfort of fully independent suspension 😊. Ohh and better engine lol
I just got my GX 550 Overtrail, recently! I'm still upset with the Tacoma, 4Runner and LC all being EXACTLY the same though
Based upon the horrible problems they’re having with the Toyota trucks this year and also the ridiculous pricing. You’re damn right. I’m looking at a Honda Ridgeline. The Honda Ridgeline is more refined has a better storage better amenities and is for confident men.
I am planning to get the Ridgeline at the end of this year instead of the Tacoma. I don't planning to town anything heavy except my pop up camper and roadtrip. :)
Ironically the Ridgeline has a better payload than the Tacoma.
If you want a lot more payload, you get a single cab and 2WD. Most people compare the Tacoma off road which has a lower payload because of the offroad package. It's a trade off. My 1993 Toyota Pickup has almost 1900 lbs of payload because it's a single cab, long bed, and 2WD.
While Ridgeline sales are DOWN(look at the sales figures) I personally feel the Honda is more refined, smoother and easier to get into with it's lower height. Plus it's made in USA. What's not to like?
Sales are down due to the stop sale on the rear camera wiring harness.
@@maxterrier The first quarter's sales were down and this was before the May 9th, 2024 Sales Stop event. So obviously, people are not buying the Ridgeline instead of the Tacoma. Might be a good time to do a deal on Ridgeline, place deposit and complete the deal once the SS is lifted.
Still prefer the Frontier……3.8 liter V6…..the Tacoma and the Tundra are so yesterday.
Good luck with that resale value
Sales say otherwise that people buy tacomas more than any other midsize truck.
@@robertyoung8289 nissan frontier is behind the tacoma and gm twins
@@robertyoung8289 Tacoma is still outselling the Frontier almost double per Q2 sales lol.
Honda redesigned the 3.5 & it no longer has v-tech. But it does still have a rubber timing belt. Also here in Virginia, there's an uptick in Nissan Frontiers
I would never if I wanted a Tacoma by a Honda. I would go with many other options.
I would definitely consider a Ridgeline.
I used to buy new, until the pricing went through the roof. I wouldn’t buy either the Toyota or the Honda starting in the mid-40s. I’d go to the used market instead. Older is better these days.
I don’t blame you one bit 👌 new prices are insane
My 1996 Accord LX manual was 16,100 out the door brand new. The current Civic is the same size or slightly larger. 🤷🏻♂️ prices are crazy.
I would consider a Ridgeline. The only toyota i would consider at this point is a 24 4Runner. A 2023 Nissan Armada leftover is still fantastic value. Esp a base model.
They look unibody and cheap to me. Maybe if they were priced between 25-30k they might be worth it, but 47k is nuts for these. I'd rather go Nissan Frontier before this one. Glad you are back with another video. Be aware of your heavy sucking sound breathing in the mic.
25-30? 🤣 unibody doesn’t mean cheaper. This truck being as old as it is still has better tech and features than the new 4th gen Tacoma.
9spd transmission and twin clutch rear diff is not offered in anything below 40 grand
@@k20z3allmotorFTW It looks cheaply made and untruck like. He asked for opinions and I gave mine. You are welcome to your own wrong opinion.
My wife had a 2009 Honda Accord with that 3.5 V6 and it was one of the worst engines in any car we’ve ever owned. Found out later from a Honda technician that Honda knew there were bad blocks for a couple of years but they refused to fix them even though it went through oil as if it had a leak. Won’t buy another Honda ever again even though folks swear by them. Side note, the one vehicle I had with a ford ecoboost was also very bad. Bought my wife a new 2023 GX460 and we’ve got a 2020 ES350 and so far it’s hey have been flawless. Purposely bought the 2023 GX over the new one with the twin turbo V6. Glad I did.
I have a 2017 Ridgeline..... But my next truck will be a Ranger with the 2.7. I can get it cheaper than the Ridgeline, it will be more sporty, and will do everything I plan to do with it better (tow/haul). Actually... The rear seat room is actually better in the Ranger.
I like the looks of the Nissan Frontier with the V-6. The only negative is the oil changes. From what I've seen on YT, you got to drop the friggin' engine skid plate!
In the pass I have literally laughed at the Ridgeline but today I would definitely consider it over the new Taco. I have a 2020 Taco Pro and will hold on to that for as long as I can. Thanks for showing the different options that are out there because Toyota Tundra or Tacoma are not one of them for me at this time.
NOOOOO!!!! Don’t say that!!!
I’m still in the market for one, I don’t need any price explosions!!!! 😭😭😭
It’s a solid vehicle, Ridgeline has a beefed up chassis, bigger hubs and bearings. Honda has built this to take more of a beating than their other vehicles on the same chassis.
I have 2 Honda Ridgeline’s a 2008 that I bought brand new and a 2011 used. The 08 has 270,000 miles while the 2011 has 328,000 miles. Awesome trucks. Ridgeline all day everyday over the Tacoma
I’ve had both a 2015 Tacoma and an 07 ridgeline. The ridgeline was 100% a better rig to daily drive. Right now I have a 2021 tundra trd pro. Actually thought about trading for a ridgeline. Biggest reason is I messed by knee up so climbing in and out is hard some days on the tundra. Love my tundra though so it would have to be a real good reason to walk away from it. Plus I was buying every two years and I’ve gotten to the point I really want something long term then buy a two door Jeep or a little sports car to run around.
yes I would purchase a Honda ridgeline over the new Tacoma-I just with the Honda sat a inch or two higher
It’s number one on my list. Frontier number two.
Nissan Frontier is the modern day Tacoma. The only midsize truck to consider, imo.
I really liked the new Tacoma, but the new power train and complete refresh gives me pause. I really love the updates Honda made to the Ridgeline, and since it's in its seventh year, it probably has worked out most of the issues.
As a car guy and Honda fan a 2.4 turbo is a large sized four cylinder. Think about ford has 2.7 v6 anything 3.0 and up are v6. A 1.6l four cylinder is puny 2.4 is solid sized 4 banger despite the size it doesn’t stand to a v6
The ridge line is nice. Good video
$47,000? The Ridgeline has grown on me, but I'm essentially out of the truck market at these prices. I'll just keep the 24 year old F150 running and probably buy the wife a vehicle when the time comes, and just take over her highlander. All I really NEED a truck for is towing a handful of times a year anyway. I've come to the realization that cruising around everywhere in a truck just for the awesomeness of it is really pretty stupid.
I paid $42,500 for my 24 Trailsport(list $46,380) Deals can be had.
@@terrymaggio2520 that’s the one I’d want too. Good to know.
Dealer markup? My location 2024 TRD OffRoad MSRP around $46,000.🤷♂️🤔
I considered one but ended up getting one of the last Titans.
Can't do the Rubicon trail in the Honda. But it does go through the McD's drive thru fairly well.
And the grocery store and Starbucks....lol
Come now, are you ever going to do the Rubicon?
I was a staunch Toyota person for over twenty years and owned Tacomas, Tundras, Avalons and Corollas which were great cars. They claim they listen to their customers but it is all talk which was validated by the fact that the new engines are small turbo charged vice V6 and V8 which folks liked. They have more recalls in the last few years than I have witnessed in the past. It is becoming blatantly obvious this year. This year I replaced my 2007 SR5 Tundra with a Honda since they are still using a tried and true V6 in the ridgeline. I never thought I would buy a Honda truck but now that I have there are many advantages especially in the bed and tailgate open. If you are like I was then just go look at a Honda and test drive I don't think you will be disappointed. TOYOTA CORPORATED IS ARROGANT AND HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IN FAVOR OF MORE PROFIT. IMHO.
But wait, wasn’t Toyota making four-cylinder turbos back in the 1980s? There is history, so don’t count it out yet
Are the rear lights LED?
That tonneau cover is a Honda accessory
Mark ups on Tacoma are absurd. The Ridgeline although it’s nice is not really a truck. What I’ve been looking at is the GMC Canyon AT4. My concern with the GMC’s are reliability in the long run.
In January, I received a recall notice on my 2019 Ridgeline, for a defective fuel pump. I made an appointment and went to drop it off and they said sorry, we don't have the parts to fix it. Seven months later they still don't have the fuel pump. I called Honda corporate customer service, and they have no idea when I can get it repaired. 🐂💩👎👎👎👎👎
Honda ridgeline is an excellent truck car. Reliable V 6 engine.
Those are nice, whenever you get time check out the Chevy Colorado zr2 and the GMC canyon at4x, 2024 year on both of those. I think you will be surprised
the ridgeline has an antiquated SOHC engine with a timing belt. It needs the Honda Pilot engine for it to make sense.
I think I would just get a new Chevrolet Colorado work truck.
2015 was the last good year for Tacoma.
that is so True I just got a 2012 trd off road and its been amazing.
The all made in Mexico Tacoma is a real Taco…
Haha you ain’t wrong
I shove bought a Honda Pilot Touring over a Mazda CX-50.
I was far more comfortable in the Honda lol that V6 is sooooooo smooth with the 10 speed
I would if the Consumer Reports rated the reliability very high. Otherwise I would buy a used one owner V6 Toyota
Meh. If I was in the market for a mid size truck, I would rather buy a used 2012-2015 Toyota Tacoma.
@dan, that is precisely why they have used vehicles is for people like you and a friend of mine. He is 72 years old and has never bought a new vehicle or boat.
@@ChesterSm-ge1hb I agree. I prefer to buy new. I bought my sports car new. But new trucks in the last 8-9 years haven't been all that attractive, except for the 2.5 gen Tundras. Too much truck for my needs though.
@@danfontes9130 @dan, ya I hear you. I traded my GMC Sierra in for a new 2021 Ridgeline, didn't require the use of a full-sized pickup any longer, probably one of the best moves I've made in awhile..
You know toyota effed up when people are choosing the Ridgeline over the Tacoma!
I think the Ranger is the best choice in the segment, then the Colorado/Canyon duo
The Tacoma is not losing market share to the ridgeline lol.
@@Drohead20 Toyota is a much, Much larger vehicle manufacturing company than Honda. Honda does sell many more Jets than Toyota, so there’s that..
I'd choose the Trailsport
Same here 👌
