I wasn't happy with the slapdash inspection done by the first body shop so I went to another yeaterday. They insist that they have to get an ok from the insurance company to measure the frame properly, so not much got accomplished.I decided to go next door to the Dodge dealer and very nearly drove away with a 2017 Dodge Ram. In fact, I did on a way- I brought it home on the test drive and found out that it wouldn't fit between the buildings to get to my parking lot so I had to take it back. Def
I like the Ram, but given the choice, I'd take the F-150 as well. Of course, I doubt it would it down between the houses any easier than the Dodge did! Def
what is wrong with a smaller pick-up ? e.g Toyota hi lux size? or, the honda ridgeline for something more car-like ?easier to park and drive offroad, and enough payload for most.
Did you try to RAM it through the buildings?
The Ridgeline isn't an option- it is the most hideous and useless piece of crap ever spewed forth onto this Earth. I'd rather try to beat the ebola virus out of my man parts with a jagged stick than drive a Ridgeline, let alone pay actual money for one.
I'm with Grant on the Ridgeline, it upsets me enough that GM had something similar with the Avalanche.Def does that Dodge have the new coil-over rear end or is it leaf springs?
I think Jeep is coming out with a Jeep-style vehicle with a small pick-up bed next year, like the old Scrambler.(Image removed from quote.)

It struck me as odd that Honda took the Avalanche concept and said "Hmm.... I'll bet we could smurf that up even more!" And that's how the Ridgeline was born. They took everything truck like and removed it, replacing it with a combination of styrofoam and soft cheeses.Honda should stick to bikes and generators.Def

Many people just want an SUV, an AWD not a 4WD, with the ability to carry some more load.
