I drove passed a local dealer the other night they had a plow on one.

Not sure how that will work out. Honda has cut production back due to slow sales and a build up of units on hand. You may be able to get a deal on one.

Not really my cup of tea, but it's an interesting.... uh.... vehicle (It's not a truck, it's not a car, SUV doesn't really seem to fit it either).

If you don't want a Ford, at least go with a Titan or a Tundra. Japanese quality and resale value, but without a transverse V6 and extremely light duty drivetrain. That'd be my vote.

Actually, if I weren't looking for a project truck when it was time to trade the F-250 in, I would've looked at Tundra crew cabs. Those are some smooth driving trucks with plenty of power.

I'll still love you no matter what you choose (unless it's a VW cabriolet... there are a few cars that only women should drive).

It's not my cup of tea personally, but it does seem to be doing well. It just won the Truck of the Year award yesterday from Motor Trend:

A buddy of mine just picked one up for his wife. I think it's !
Although it did win ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^you can still keep it!
Very cheap looking in my book! Not that my 02 F150 is some kind of plush styled truck, but at least it's solid, and has a full frame!

I'll take my wife's 04 Exlpoder over it, or any SportTrac!

Sorry hold no candle to the i,mports of the same size.


I had a $22K Ranger that was only worth $12K in a year, no thanks.

Fords suck ass when it comes to resale value !

Hell most all that i told what I paid for my 2001 Cobra 1 of 330 made costed me $19,000. People told me I was insane to pay that !
So it proves my point.

FYI I did work for Ford and was not impressed at all with the quality at all.

Do I LOVE Fords ??? HELL YES ! Just Ford needs to step to the plate and hit a home run !

Sorry dude - but Ford might step up to the plate but instead of a home run they'd probably bunt, and in the process somehow manage to smack both the catcher and the umpire upside the head! I think the Ridgeline shows style, imagination, well thought out design elements and it made by a manufacturer that is know the world over for their very high levels of quality and maintaining resale value.

Sport-trac or Explorer? Not as long as I have to rely on Ford dealerships to sell and service them. Nope...
