Comes standard with four wheel drive, can easily tow your boat, ride very comfortably, get great gas mileage, and outlast anything Ford has ever made.

Have they fixed their reliability issues? They do look pretty sweet.

Yes they do. But they're no Honda Ridgeline.

I have a 2017 Laramie 2500 for a work truck. Over 230k Miles and the screen and all the interior bells and whistles still work fine.

However, it’s had 2 engine rebuilds and a transmission replaced. It’s truly designed to give you the most comfortable experience on the side of the road waiting on Triple A

If you plan on keeping it for ten plus years get the Tundra.



I've gotten 10+ years out of full sized GM trucks (Chevy and GMC). The Nissan products can definitely go the distance as well. The Ridgeline is also extremely reliable.

I wouldn't trust Ram or Ford with that, although I hear Ram is doing a lot better lately.

Find one on sale. Probably Nissan.



As a frontier owner: No. The titans are even worse.

If you have to get the titan, get the diesel.

Honda.Ridgeline.



Definitely see no harm in test driving one. They are very nice, but not quite full sized.

Seriously....get one of these. Gas or diesel. They both last.



But yeah, the interior is bland AF.

I’ve heard the same thing, we bought a Rogue for the wife a few years ago. So far so good, but the new transmission has had issues I hear..

I have a Nissan hardbody I bought back in the late 9os.. It is a 96 model. I have 240k on it and it keeps on keeping on. everybody wants to buy it but I can’t part with it.

You’re looking. Did you have a full sized pickup before this? How often do you get a new truck? Or are you going from a car or a Tacoma to a full sized pickup? Honestly any brand should last 100k miles. If you want the latest technology get a Ram. If you want 200k miles of reliability (beyond scheduled maintenance)get a Tundra. If you want something in between, get a Ford or a Chevy/GMC

Got a ‘16 F150 with a 3.5 EB and with stock tires, it was a ROCKET! Leveling kit and 34” tires slowed it some, but still a very capable vehicle. 15-18 mpg in mixed driving and I have a reasonably heavy foot. Would do 19-20 when on stock tires.

You couldn’t talk me into a Dodge (call it a Ram if you want, Dodge still makes it) unless it was a short term lease where it stayed in warranty the entire time. GM? Pffffffttttt. I still remember hearing about excessive oil usage, bad lifters, now it’s bad transmissions, etc etc etc.

Tundra only way to go if fuel mileage absolutely does NOT matter. Most of them do 13-14 mpg on average and worse with leveling kit and tires, or so I’m told.

3/4 ton and up trucks aren’t what they used to be since all this emissions BS has been added to them. Reliability, mileage and performance has gone way downhill.

Titans I understand are decent trucks but resale is abysmal.

Honda Ridgeline is NOT a FS truck. If we’re adding it to the options then get a Tacoma. The new ones aren’t as good as the 2005-2015’s but they’re still a great truck.
