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

[revalations]

Nice choice to keep a long time. That truck will be extremely reliable I’m sure.

Have you seen how bad of a dumpster fire the new Tundras are? It’s not just engine failures, those trucks are hot garbage and owners are right ticked. Bringing the market up for the older model I bet!

Enjoy!

Congrats!  Man card renewed!

BTW, did the truck touch you inappropriately? LOL [emoji38]

I agree need a pic. Perhaps he is still at the gas pump filling up?

No, he's done filling up.

He's recovering from PTSD after filling the truck? LOL [emoji38]

Let's see, it's a 143L tank, but 40L or so of that is reserve, so by the time it's empty next week (I'm assuming the dealer filled it up at least), he'll be putting in 100L of fuel, at $1.42/L. 

Yup, my lifetime average on Fuelly for my Tundra is at 20.3L/100km.  The best tank I EVER got was 15.1L/100km, on Aug 14 2020.  That would have been a pure highway trip.

Nope, no PTSD yet, got a full tank, no inappropriate touching, though jamming the gas pedal down made me smile, and here are some terrible pics by moi. Love the truck so far, here's hoping for a long, unremarkable road ahead. Here is a pic of her nicely tucked away at home in our all Toyota household and one from when I get her from the dealer.

Because it came with some top of the line chinese winter tires, I am currently looking for some wheels for some summers with some KO2 BF Goodrich. So many options out there, Method has some fantastic ones, so are some of the OEM TRD rims, too many choices.

[Great_Big_Abyss]

I've never liked aftermarket rims on these trucks.  I do, however, LOVE the TRD Pro wheels that came on this gen, if you can find 'em.   They're 18" BBS Forged, so a decent wheel with plenty of sidewall, compared to the 20" wheels you have on your truck.

Congrats on the new (to you) truck, with a V8 pointed in the correct orientation! 

You are correct that wheel selection is virtually unlimited, good luck in your shopping!

Nice! So she owned a Taco and a GX, both proper body on frame trucks...and you had the Ridgeline. Are you sure it had gremlins or were there inadequacy feelings and you tossed it for the V8?

No, not at all, I loved my Pilot with a circumcision. If it would have been a decent vehicle, I wouldn't have dreamed of trading it in.

Haha….I know. Love the look of that Taco

Impressive that the Tundra fits in the garage. Well done.

It took a bit of finangling and holding my tongue the right way and it fit.
