perhaps when you lock the doors, the rear gate is locked, unlock the doors and its released, just no key required?
This thing just plain does not lock up the entire bed.

Yeah, but what you talk of is a lack of brakes. I think the Ridgeline has equal sized brakes versus the Titan to tell you the truth.

I'd rather have the black/tan than just the charcoal. Was kind of disappointed to see the all black interior when I opened the door actually.
Heh, and Doug, I don't think towing the S anywhere is in the cards. Most towing would probably be a boat - a couple of times a year at that.

The web site shows no shots other than just a lot of the grey interior.
The truck I played with was black, but all I remember about the interior was the freeky weird interior door handle and the model I was in had a really tacky brushed silver plasctic dash. I can't even remember the color...

Isn't it full time fwd with awd kicking in "when you need it"? This is not a real truck, imo.

No we are not talking about brakes, weight and wheelbase is what we are talking about. If the trailer starts to get away from you and starts wagging the truck, the last damn thing you want is to touch the brakes!!! We are talking about having a vehicle with enough mass to keep in control of the thing behind it.

But in all honesty, the roads in Europe are more demanding than they are here, and the tow vehicles are much smaller, and they have no problems. You see stuff like Mitsubishi Pajeros and VW Toureags towing cars on dual axle trailers over there.
And trust me, some of their highways are crazy.

rafi's ridgline was black with a stone colour (not quite really beige and not quite really charcoal - somewhere in between).
and let me tell you, it is a fabulously "finished/refined" truck.....the interior is easily right out of an accord....or dare i say, TL.
whisper quiet when it was running too....
for someone who needs a "truck" for non-commercial/business purposes....it would be great.
we had it loaded up with jack stands, 2 or 3 two-ton jacks, 2 full sets of track wheels/rubber, misc. stuff, a couple of guys worth of personal belongings and everything fit nice and neatly...that hideaway trunk is super cool.
