I'll put off my RL purchase a couple years until this can be had.

Their Order:
1 Colorado
2 RL
3 Gladiator
4 Ranger
I bite my tongue a bit... But really really don't see the attraction to the RL one bit lol.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Personally would rate:
1. Gladiator
2. Ranger
3. Colorado / Canyon
4. Taco
5. RL
6. Frontier
... As I type this, sort of shocked that Ram or Dodge hasn't put a midsize pickup out, aside from the Gladiator which is only kind-of in that market.
If I didn't have to tow, I'd love a RL, especially the new facelift. As buster said, it's the perfect city truck.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Gladiator should be on the list for sure.

The RL is for people who don't really want a truck, but need a truck for a few non-trucky things. It's a truck for realists who prioritize driving dynamics, practicality, interior room and quality over BRO TRUCK.
At least we all agree the Frontier is definitely such a POS, it's only been mentioned once.
The Dakota is on it's way back.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

So it’s the right choice for 99% of truck buyers?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Maybe 50%. The other half should really be buying bigger trucks than they currently use to tow their travel trailers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Ridgeline or 1-ton. It's a binary choice.

That C&D article just really drives home how far up gm’s ass they really sit... the suspension on the Colorado is so rough that the only appropriate word would be “jarring” ... the shimmy from the rear end on expansion joints/Texas gates is also unnerving

Ridgeline is the best truck in the segment for comfort and utility.
I had a 2019 Ridgeline EXL and sold it for a 2020 GMC 1500 AT4 6.2.
Easiest decision ever and waiting til 2021 is a waste of time as the Ridgeline is still not truckish.
I have 0 complaints about the suspension in the ZR2 so far. The Multimatic DSSV is really whole another level for day-to-day driving as you don't feel shitty on the roads you should feel shitty on. Sitting at around 1200-1300 km's so far (picked up new at 100) and my only complaint is the back seats are a bit cramped. That being said, I kind of knew that when I was opting for the mid-size class as opposed to half-ton. Another complaint is the lack of push button start and no proximity sensors - feels odd fishing for the key when near the truck.
Other complaint I had was even the top of the line version with pretty much all options has projector halogen lights but I have already fixed that and it's much better now. The front end is super aggressive and it gets a decent amount of looks from the 'truck bros' - including the half ton and upper ones. Though not sure if those are looks of disdain or appreciation. lol

Yeah the zr2 had amazing handling when I drove it.
Did some ‘mods’.
Debadged and destickered ’zr2’ from everywhere. Tinted windows. Smoked taillights and headlights. Did the basic 3M even though had no plans and did it cause I saw a rock chip lol.
And the cheap Amazon tonneau cover got delivered and I threw it on.
