Picked up a 2022 Ridgeline Touring this morning - holy crap is this thing ever smooth! Went in rather deep unplowed snow for the photoshoot and no worries at all. None of the ladder-frame wiggles of course. Not a creak, nothing.
Nice!
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Well, after the first few months of ownership, gotta say I am really, really happy with my decision. Love the truck so far, its hauled a few stick of lumber, some furniture, gone through a few ice storms and -40C days....love it. Oh, and while vtec was not really a huge thing for me on 4 bangers, on the V6, pretty freaking awesome. Still would prefer a V8  ;D

Nice! If it's anything like my Passport, it's just a simple appliance that does what you ask of it without any fuss or drama. The vtec feels like a small turbo kicking in at high rpms.

Ditto.  The Pilot still feels tight, and not how a 6-year old vehicle with 140,000km on it typically feels.  Was driving to Halifax over the weekend, still a great road trip vehicle and I can't think of a rational reason why this shouldn't still be hauling around the family 5 years from now.  And likely longer.

Hey Fob,  Is this the dream?

Does your Ridgeline get this treatment once the warranty is over?  Turn it into a 'real' truck?

I know, right?  Fob of ALL people, bought a Ridgeline.  A 'pretend' truck.  'Not a V8'.  After all his posturing and blustering, when it came to putting his money where his mouth was, he changed direction...

He did buy a brand new vehicle equipped with a V8.   I think he made it clear at the beginning of his buying spree that a full size half ton would not fit in his garage. 

As for V8's I would not trade my "V6" ecobust for a V8.  My Tremor is wicked fast.  I would trade my V6 Mustang for a V8 Mustang which I'm thinking about doing.  I've got to see it first.

Best midsized truck on the market for 99% of drivers.

You should lower it and add a supercharger.

I find it weird that Albertan developers build all garages here 20'x20' even though crew cab pickups are wildly popular here. Weird, but not surprising.

That's rich coming from a guy that bought a new Tundra and then figured out he couldn't afford to put gas in it.  :)
