To haul the money he makes off of selling overpriced houses.

Because you know what he does in his spare time, where he may need the towing power for his boat, or need the cab for projects he likes to do. :roll:

Nice ASSumption.

My sister has a Nissan Armada....biggest POS ever. They've had it in the shop so many times it's scary. And, the tires were shot at 25k miles...WTF? And there have been alot of other problems too.

Yeah - the Canton Mississippi plant was having all kinds of build quality problems - supposidly they're being addressed in a big way and it's noticable.

Don Poley, sales manager at LaFontaine Honda in Dearborn, said customers are taken aback by the Ridgeline's $28,000 base price.

"It's more than (the price of) a domestic -- but once people get in the vehicle, drive it, they realize they've got a high-quality vehicle."

I wonder what he is implying there

It looks like crap on the outside. Stupid Honda.

 

[Kadarin]

It's the mindset.. When I think of a full-sized beefy truck, I think GMC/Chevy/Ford/Dodge, not Honda.

 

[klah]

If it weren't for the Chicken Tax, GM and Ford would have gone ch.11 by now.

 

[Acanthus]

Its only a matter of time.

The nissan Titan is the 1st rung on the ladder imo.

how bad is swallowing a bullet?

 

[EyeMWing]

The japs can have the POStrucks for all I care. But the 3/4 ton and larger domestics will live on, simply because nowhere else in the world are they built.

 

[TomKazansky]

hate to admit but i think domestic trucks are better, especially 3/4 ton and larger

i like the ridgeline truck though, although it's really undertoruqed for a truck.

 

[Mani]

Wonder how much of this is superiority of the american product vs. perception among truck buyers that Japanese trucks are for wusses.

 

[jds2006]

Why would you want to drive a pickup truck when you can drive a VW Beetle?

They don't just plant sign seeds in front yards. I have seen some brokers carrying those things precariously sticking out of the trunk of luxury sedans wondering if they would stay in there until they got to their destination.
