Call the local Nissan dealers and quit hijacking this thread.
Oh, the Ridgeline sucks.
Long live my Silverado.

The fact that people are saying this is not a real truck that can't haul anything and can't tow anything just goes to show how clueless and ignorant they really are.
I think it will be cheaper in Canada. I've heard $35k-$45k (CDN) which is quite respectable.

Ignoirant and clueless...definatly I Agree..... People need to move from the mindset that Full frame and V8 is not always better.
Towing 5000lbs is already impressive...... its towing capacity is on par with other 1/2 ton pickups.

It is a better approach in trucks as a body on frame design allows for more bed area. This is not a point up for debate, it is a fact.
The Ridgeline is a midsized pickup, really, not a fullsize. I wouldn't expect it to tow/pull/plow/push like a fullsized pickup. It will do great for what it was meant for - moderate towing with a lot of daily driving and occasional minor offroad usage.

No, you present one off commentary based on zero actual off-road experience.
Come out to Colorado. I will get you drunk, you can get my Land Rover stuck, and we can have fun playing rock-paper-scissors as to who has to pull on the come-alongs. In the end we will both have fun and you will understand that the MDX would never have even gotten you within two miles of where the actual 4X4 got stuck -- not that the MDX is a bad vehicle -- because it is not.

You swept floors at a dealership, so now you are an expert. It is clear that you are talking from your ass -- you simply do not compare the off-road capabilities of a truck based SUV and a minivan based SUV .. ever.
For what its worth, the buick V8 that LandRover used for so many years is a bulletproof motor with a good following.

I used to work for Land Rover and you are lucky you can even get anywhere with that piece of crap. Only an insecure idiot would buy it because of the status. I don't even know why it has status ! Up until BMW purcahsed them they were still using engine blocks from a 62 Buick and leaking oil everywhere! I have driven an MDX and a Land Rover at the proving grounds in Landover and the Land Rover doesn't even compare.........I do not care what they claim it is still the epitome of a overpriced hunk of SHIT !

It will sell because it is a HONDA. I know 3 people who will buy this car SOLELY because its a HONDA. They need a truck, and have owned hondas their whole lives. Many people dont even think about other cars. They have good experiences with a company, and stay there.
