Hope you can clean out your garage so you can keep it from fading in the sun!***
LOL, was going to give him some grief on the garage as well. Otherwise, good choice, nice truck and no doubt maroon! (ish)
Fun thread with an actual start and finish, no lock required.

One more thing to add. Went on our first road trip in it this past weekend up to the in-laws place in Lowndes Co. Went up Hwy 25 to 82 back via Hwy 12 to Kosciusko and then Trace home. Averaged 26.5 mpg. I was pleasantly suprised. Handled well on both dry and wet roads.

Here ya go. Sorry I'm not real savy with the picture thing and posted the same pic 3 times instead of 4 different pics. Kinda wanted to wait until my step rails were installed but screw it.

Anyways, why the Frontier? Easy answer, the drive off the lot price for the Frontier was LESS than the asking price for the Toyota and the Toyota dealer did not want to come down any. Plus the Frontier is 2 years newer, had less than half the miles AND is one of the many shades of True Maroon we State fans have come to know and love over the years.

I realize most “truck people” do not consider the Ridgeline a real truck. However, I can tell you that the AWD version went up the steepest ice covered hill in our city last winter and never spun a wheel. Actually stopped and carried a few stranded folks to the top. I cannot vouch for mud…only the ice. Its towing capacity sucks. Its ride is supreme. Right now, my second choice is Tacoma although the new Frontier is a worthy consideration. No to the Colorado and Ranger…

The ride of the Ridgeline is unmatched, for sure. The AWD is supreme. Not the sharpest looking body, but TBH the body style is very similar to the Nissan OP ended up with. Car and Driver usually lists it as #1 or #2 for mid-sized trucks. And you wouldn’t buy a mid-sized truck if you needed supreme towing capacity, so that’s a wash.
