Topic: Ridgeline is a lemon, time to go truck shopping!!

It was only a matter of time before the RAM Classic was pulled from the market, frankly I am surprised it's run this long. 2010-2024 is a very long run, and it still looks great today. I like the interior too, well laid-out and very functional.

The design is largely solid. I just dislike how short they made the middle seat cushion in the 2nd row. It's uncomfortable to sit on and it doesn't work with almost all rear facing seats and even a lot of forward facing ones.

I wonder if it's different for the Quad cab vs the Crew Cab? I know the Crew Cab feels much larger on the inside, but I am not sure if it's all additional legroom, or if the Crew Cab gets larger rear seats too?
That said, I had a Quad Cab as a work vehicle for awhile and it worked fine with the rear-facing child seat my son was in at the time. It was uncomfortable for adults though.

I'm pretty sure on the classic the quad and crew cab has the same rear seat.   Yes the middle seat is shorter and the floor is raised, it's ok for small adults.  They are not as spacious as the new trucks that's for sure. The F150 rear is way bigger.

They're all better than this

I am usually not one for those custom jobs, but that's actually friggin cool!

I'm seeing a lot of rusty 2007+ Chevy/GMC 1500s as well. Pre-aluminum Ford trucks are fairing better although their cars unfortunately are bad. Rarely see a rusty Toyota truck body, although they had the rusty frame issue in the 2000s.

Is it a real problem or do the owners tend to neglect washing them on a regular basis, especially if they're used for work.

Pre-aluminum Fords are probably the worst for rust actually. They just tend to rust where you can't  see....rockers, cab corners, door bottoms. They're all bad to be honest lol. So far though the aluminum Fords seem to be doing great.

Have a look at the build pics, looks like scale model kitbashing, but with steel and 1:1 cars!

The crew cab seat is larger.

Almost bought one of those many years ago when I was landscaping my last house.  Responded to an add for one and had the cash in hand but when it came to the test drive I couldn't fit in the cab.

If I drove the way my mother did and never hit high speed roads, a Key truck would be a maybe

Well, I hate to say it, but the RL has been a bust. In the beginning, water leaks that took a bunch of trips to Honda to partially repair, then they didn't put my backseat together properly, then they forgot to install a seat belt buckle, still not sure its fixed 100%. Then came the vehicular brain farts that threw the thing into limp mode and turned my dash into a christmas tree. Sure, I can just pull over, shut it off and turn it back on, but shouldn't be happening then after the lights go off and it goes out of limp mode, the tranny shifts like something Chrysler made in the late 80s. Dealer cannot figure out whats wrong with it, been in like 3-4 times. I should have gone with my gut originally and gone for a Tundra, so it looks like I will be in the market for a 18 or 19-21 Tundra in the near future. It sucks, because I really, really like my Pilot with a circumcision, but its just given me too many headaches.

Late to the thread but man this sucks.  I am really surprised too given the expected reliability from the brand.
