So a change in my job has made it that I will be needing a Midsize pickup. I need to be able to seat 5 and as much as I’d love a V8, it is not practical for the amount of driving I have to do. So the 2 trucks I am considering are the Ridgeline and the Tacoma Double cab short bed.

if your less concerned with putting shit in the bed then passenger comfort, Ridgeline, my buddy has one and it’s amazingly comfortable. ---

I think the Ridgeline has a bigger bed than the Tacoma and its got under bed floor storage room. Theres a trap door in the floor. The Tacoma has 4wd and the Ridgeline has awd so if youre going to be doing any offroading go with the Toyota but for a daily driver the Ridgeline would probably be fine. ---

I’m only gonna be putting tires in the bed. So it’s not a lot of room necessary. But I need the interior space for my “growing family” ---

Check the gas mileage of those two choices. I’m getting 19 MPG average with a 5.3L V8. I think either of those two get 4 or 5 MPG better plus a full size has much more interior room. Only disadvantage is resale. ---

My wifes cousin has a ridgeline , it is a nice truck . Gas mileage is the same as any truck in that field under normal driving . Load it up a little and it struggles and drinks fuel . The tacoma has a proven track record and will handle being loaded up well . That fucker gets the same gas mileage loaded and unloaded lol [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/honda-ridgeline-or-toyota-tacoma-double-cab/265588.md?page=2)
