Bed looks bigger and they've separated it from the cab. The front looks too round/too crv like but overall a decent looking yuppy mobile.

The bed is bigger, you can now buy plywood. The trunk is big enough for a full size cooler too. It has in bed speakers and a power outlet that is in a waterproof compartment. Specific tow payload numbers have not been announced. It retains the 3.5, no word on transmission. Still has dual folding/swinging tailgate. The back seat has the magic fit like seats that virtually disappear and you can store things underneat them when in use.

It is, I was weireded out by the want level. the silver is not a good color though. The black is enticing.

Separating the bed makes it actually look like a truck, which I dig. I don't even mind the style of the front, the new ranger overseas, and even the Canyon to an extent have the slanting nose thing going on.

Being FWD still I do not dig.

looks like a mini van they chopped the 3rd row of seats out of

That's because it quite literally is, If I recall correctly the floorpan/underpinnings of the last Ridgline were shared with the Oddesy (So it was literally a pickup 'body' ontop of a Minivan chassis)

I doubt that changed.

That sounds very inaccurate.

Interested in bed "stereo" system. and possibly the dual hinge tailgate could be neat. but do not want shit tow rating, terrible looks and a unibody.

shit tow rating?

anyone buying a mid-size truck really care if it tows 5k or 6k? seriously?

:rofl: i think people forget how heavy 5k is sometimes. and it's just a dick measuring contest with full size half tons now a days.

I agree with Joel, wouldn't be bad if it werent for the crv front end.

x2 on the tow rating, if you want to tow that regularly get a fucking 3/5 ton. Even modded my truck wasnt very pleasant towing over 3000lbs esp with a couple people in it and gear in the bed. Mainly the brakes, would have been better if I got around to the hydroboost swap.
