Cool
What comforts are you missing?? The JT has everything. Heated seats, heated sterering, heated mirrors, good headlights, good seating, great sound system.. Most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned anyway. Not to mention all the capabilities.
Word
LOL cause the engine is why trucks get bad mileage? It's not at all the large flat frontal area and the fenders, mirrors, and oversized tires that stick out? If you think the 3.6l lacks in power use your right foot to push the dang pedal to the floor, works every time.
Yes while they are better than the ford 10 speed they still have occasional erratic behavior, lazy shifts and all the various other things I don't like about shifting being automated. Honestly I'm not really a fan of all the electronics in today's vehicles anyway. My favorite vehicle to drive is still my 75 f250 "highboy" though it's not practical as a daily with 2 kids and a wife so it's currently peaked in a machine shed at the farm only being driven occasionally.
They're comparable in interior features, other than the Chevy having ventilated and power seats available - both features I wouldn't mind having. I know an IFS rig would drive a lot nicer on the roads I live and commute on, and I imagine the cab would be far quieter since the roof isn't made of fiberglass and held on with a handful of screws.
lol no. there is nothing 'cued' from the Gladiator. That's a baby Chevy through and through.
Those sweet insults must get a lot of laughs playing fortnite with 13 year olds...
The overall power isn't *horrendous*, but rather the bizarre powerband that makes peak power in high RPMs. For both towing and wheeling, it's a less than ideal powerband. This was fine in 2012 relative to the 3.8 it replaced, but in this decade it's underwhelming to it's competition.
I don't know what other vehicles you have experienced to compare with your JT. For me it is definitely not the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Not by a long shot. But the JT is not designed to be that. In fact, the handling most resembles the 1985 Silverado 4x4 I bought new back then.
gotcha. Its interesting your comparing it to a 1980’s truck. I am coming from a 1997 F350 which was terrible until I dropped 20K into the suspension, and the JT still rides way better I think. Its even more comfortable that my dads new Ranger or our gov work trucks which are 1500 series. But ride quality is so subjective and different for everyone. Internal bias is also a factor too where those maybe after a particular use might inherently overlook or not worry about other downfalls that could be a priority item of another person. What direction are you leaning to?
Back seat of the Ridgeline is better than ours
Yeah, but that 10 speed is known crap. That's like saying you don't like flying if you've only ever been on Spirit.
I must admit i have never test driven a ridgeline, or even sat in one. I'm not one of those who thinks it's "not a truck" either. It's a truck just fine. Just not one I'd want.
