I guess I just don't see the appeal. If it lowers my payment by $100, I'd rather just pull the $100/month out of savings and have the rest in case of emergency.
Excellent write-up with some actual gripes and not just the same fluff you get from press reviews, slightly repackaged for each publication. Thank you for giving me actual things to watch out for when I take delivery!
That strikes me as even more apples to oranges than a Ridgeline comparison. You have to factor in the utilitarian nature of a truck and its MSRP in when deciding on expectations. Those features would be reasonable to expect in a base model... If the MSRP were several thousand higher.
