There are some great trucks lately. Competition is good for the consumers!

Hope it works out great for you. I’m considering replacing my gen 1 RL because it’s getting a little grungy....maybe time for a change. Agree with your assessments of the midsize truck entries. The GMs are always rated high...I should probably at least check them out, but I’ve been sold on...

You don’t have to like it, but tell the truth about its capacities, etc. - the data is readily available. Traded in my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland hemp this year - even though I loved it - because at about 130k miles it started costing a fortune in repairs, I guess because it’s a Chrysler.

“A few bags of dirt...nothing heavy? You’re attempting to be funny, right? It shares some components with the Pilot, but there are significantly heavier components - especially in the suspension. This is a full-on half-ton truck. Also, 5000lb towing capacity - on all trim levels may not be...

But what engine was in the Grand Cherokee? Guessing something stronger than a peashooter 3.6L V6.

Really like what I’ve seen about this truck, but the prices I’m reading here are nuts

I think they started with the Pilot, but could be wrong. Ridgeline has heavier/stronger suspension components than Pilot though.

Great points. The RL is terrific at what it is - has been ideal for me, for example - and the Gladiator looks like it's going to be a solid and really fun midsize truck with nasty off-road capability. Hopefully the price won't deter too many from buying, and then maybe I can snag a used one in...

Wow, the Gladiator bed design is really slick. Check this out if you haven’t seen it: https://www.motor1.com/news/305274/2020-jeep-gladiator-bed-dissected/

I'll be checking it out closely when it's time to replace the Ridgeline - probably a couple years. The RL been an excellent and enjoyable vehicle/tool for 8 years, and felt like the gratuitous bashing needed to be countered. Really enjoyed my beautiful Grand Cherokee too, but she was a little...

Not soon, but I am interested in them - joined this to read more about the vehicle. When it's time to move on from my current Ridgeline I'll consider the Gladiator. By that time there'll be a lot more info on them, not to mention some used units available. I like to buy late-model used...

Your "few bags of dirt" characterization is a little light, if you'll pardon the pun. My gen one Ridgeline has lived up to its half-ton (plus) label many times, hauling dirt, gravel, bricks, concrete blocks and so on. It's not an F150, etc., but it does a lot more than you might guess. Mine's...

Who would buy a FWD Ridgeline, and then why would you pick that one to quote towing capacity instead of the normal AWD 5000 lbs.? And how does the trunk smell compared to any other truck's trunk. Oh yeah, no other truck has a trunk. I have a 1st generation Ridgeline. It can be locked into...

I've had a 2007 Ridgeline for 8 years. With it I've probably hauled more dirt, gravel, riding mowers, refrigerators, furniture, general debris, rocks, busted concrete and so on than most "real truck" owners, not to mention towing my Kubota around or driving the 3 miles of rutted gravel, hilly...
