To get all the RL Touring features in an F-150, I'd have to get at least a Lariat. I could buy another car for the difference in prices there.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the desire to carry as many as 6 bikes around why you would choose a truck with as small a bed as a ridgeline.

If you're comparing MSRP sure. My Lariat was just shy of $70k list - and paid ~$51k all in.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My ridgeline was a first gen. Yes, it has improved slightly...but I couldn't justify $50+k for a new ridgeline when I could get a Lariat for a the same price.

Was my first truck. lol If you're heading to a race with 4 people and each has a bike and a spare....This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also if we're heading on vacation to BC (family of 4) we usually each have a road bike and mountain bike at least....

This is a pretty old debate: why get a mid size truck when you can get a full size truck for not much more. At MSRP, the Lariat is at least $10K more than the RL. The Ford has more capability, but less practicality. I'm pretty sure the SH-AWD system is much more sophisticated for use on the street in the winter as well.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not too mention how difficult it is to park a 1/2tonne downtown.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ridgeline is a glorified SUV with a truck bed. The practicality and usability for day to day life is perfect.
I had a 2012 Ram in my younger years, loved having the big 1/2 tonne, but I rarely used it for "truck things".
I could have easily gotten a relatively decently loaded F150 XLT for the same price as what the ZR2 cost me. My FIL's XLT was just over $50K and so was my ZR2 and my ZR2 doesn't necessarily have that many better options inside as opposed to the F150 other than the leather seats I think. Ultimately it's whatever your needs are I guess.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
People in cities regularly over-estimate their truck needs dramatically.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If I didn’t need to haul an unreasonable amount of shit, often oversized, to my rural lake house I wouldn’t need a truck at all.
Only reason I upsized to a half ton, was I want a boat big enough that a 1/4 wouldn’t cut it and because the 1/4’s I liked were stupid overpriced.
If it wasn’t for the boat aspirations my “truck” needs could be solved by a small utility trailer.

That and that’s exactly what we used to do at Osoyoos, then at Kelowna and it was a fucking nightmare.

Would agree with this if you're talking downtown Vancouver - sure. Was a nightmare to park my lifted F150 there, and couldn't fit in any parkades.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Downtown Calgary - not an issue. Fits in most parkades, and lots of surface parking available.
Also with parking sensors etc. on the F150 which I did not have on the ridgeline....I find it easier regardless.
But welcome to your opinion. In my particular case the smaller truck didn't suit our needs. Winter handling - a toss up which is better, both handle amazing.
I’ll be the first to admit parking my 1/2 ton dt isn’t fun. And I am in a very spacious parkade.
Honestly it becomes a lifestyle choice, I traded “will it scrape or get broken into” with the C63, to will I find anywhere to park with the truck.

Yup, that’s why I went midsized... I mean the old F150 isn’t a fair comparison to what it could be like since it had a screw with 6.5ft bed and zero parking aids but it sure did taint living with a half ton for me
Ranger is a breeze, not like I’ve actually had any office to head to since owning it though
I can only assume the ZR2 has serious blind spots though with the pics shak posts

Also, I think it's funny that people are debating over utility vs use-case as if it's an opinion or something.
"Fine, if that's what you need then buy that!"
"Fine, I will!"
"Fine!"
Just goes to show that trucks aren't sexy, they're somewhere between tupperware and microwaves.
Raptors are sexy
Sexy and useless
