Quote from: dkaz on July 03, 2024, 01:00:07 pmLooks so good! Congrats Fob. And yes Hakka 10s are amazing. We decided to try the North 9 thinking they were the same as Hakka 10 but they don’t bite nearly as well and are no better than a good studless tire.Yeah, we got the Michelin North 4 studded on the RX and while they are fine, they are not nearly the Hakka 10's on the CrosstrekOf course the vehicles are different, but still thinking a couple hundred extra would have have been money well spent.

Nice choice Fob! Congrats! Tundra V8 seems to be the choice of most private contractors around here. One day at my house last week three of the four 1/2 tons in my driveway were last gen Tundras, and none of the owners are planning on upgrading any time soon.
Nice truck Fob. What's the impressions so far?

The engine makes sexy noises, especially just above 3000rpm when under load. I could listen to that all day.
What was the final outcome with the Ridgeline? Did they fix the issues it had before you traded it in?

I'd like something with a little more growl when on the throttle, but nothing extra when cruising.

Yeah, I thought maybe because of the rear window leak maybe some module got damaged, or some wiring got corroded, who knows.

My dad got his third recall notice on his 2022 Ridgeline. Can definitely see a water leak causing a module or wiring to cause weird issues like.

Simply some lazy/poor trained worker with a sealing gun.
