Well im in the market for a new truck. Any suggestions? I really like the Nissan Titan.

Well the Titan is huge and I'd say it's a cool truck, but it depends on what you want to do with it. I have a Honda Ridgeline as well as a MINI and I love my Ridgeline. Gets good gas mileage, has a lot of power and lots of space to haul whatever. I have a full size ATV that I can get in the back with the tail gate down. But if you look for more bed space then obviously a bigger truck is in order. If you want more info on the Ridgeline let me know.

 

If you're in the market for a full size truck I would recommend looking at the Chevrolet Avalanche. The covered bed and flexibility of the mid-gate means you get an SUV and a truck.....instead of just a truck....and it's very plush inside. I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab that I like due to its being small enough for the garage but big enough for most truck uses (the new Frontiers are mid-size trucks). As far as full size trucks go, I like the Titan and the new Silverado best....but the F150 has been the best seller for quite some time. Lots of quality picks, just depends on your preferences and intended use.

 

Wanna go BIG like a diesel then stay away from the 6.0L Ford Powerstrokes. The '00 - '03 7.3L Powerstrokes didn't have nearly the problems as the 6.0L.

I had one of each and if the '06 F350 wasn't under warranty, I would have burned it .

My nephew also has a Ridgeline and absolutely loves it.

I guess it really depends on what you are going to use it for... towing, hauling, kids, friends, off-road ability, hunting... you get the picture.

Good luck!

 

The all-new GM pickups (Avalanche, Silverado, Sierra) are the best of the best.

The all-new Toyota Tundra would be my second choice, and the Ford F150 is always a favorite of truckers.

I'm not sure I see anything about the Nissan Titan that stands out..it seems kinda average.

 

I too have a Ridgeline and I love it! It pulls my 23ft trailer with no problems and my scooters fit perfectly in the bed. Here are some prices I have been quoted (including destination but not taxes or titling) as I have been thinking of trading my black Ridge for a white one...

I've got a 10 year old GMC 1/2 ton with 106k miles that still runs great. Nissan's from what I hear always seem to have problems. A coworker of my wife's had an Armada (pretty much the same chassis) that was always in the shop. All the older Nissan's seem to get a bad case of body cancer too.

 

Anything but a Dodge

 

Great stuff here thanks! Well im planning on moving to the Summit County area in Colorado, so ill need something that i can use to haul snowmobiles, and the like. I like the fact that the Ridgeline gets better gas mileage as stated. Since i will be doing a fair amount of traveling as well. I never was crazy about the body though..decisions..decisions..

 

The all-new Ford Explorer Sport Trac is pretty nice too. I drove one recently. It gives you the practicality of the Ridgeline with toned down styling.

 

The Honda Ridgeline looks pretty useless for hauling stuff since they have made it into a car-truck. If you "truly" need a truck you need a full bed not that 1/2 bed crap otherwise you can just get a "car"

 

Agree. (the silverado is the best, lol)

 

i have to go with toyota

 

Just did a little research. While the new Chevy silverado gets about the same gas mileage (stated on the website) as the Ridgeline the bed isn't all that much bigger. The length of the silverado's bed is 78.7" with the tail gate up. The Ridgeline's bed is 60" with the tailgate up and 79" with the tailgate down. And the tailgate can handle 300lbs of dynamic forces. Meaning that if there were say 300 pounds of whatever sitting on the tailgate and you go driving over a bumpy road with it the tailgate will not break. Now I can't claim to know what the silverado averages for gas mileage, but owning a Ridgeline and driving it on both the highway and country roads I average about 18 to 19 mpg.

Anyway that is just my 2 cents on the matter.
