Anyone thinking baout putting a plow on the new Honda Ridgeline? I'm interested to see how it would plow...
I wouldn't knock Japanese to hard. They've been able to outlast many of our US made vehicles. As for putting a plow on the Ridgeline, I don't know but from what I've seen it appears to be more of a luxury ride type truck, don't think it's real purpose is to be used as most pickups are. That's just my opinion based on looking at one, I haven't driven or rode in one so I could be off base there.Fordistough said:Are you serious? I think you're all wasting your time on this japanese imitation crap! I think that no one can make anything worth the effort to put a plow on, unless it's American. Even Chevy can't do great at making a tough enough truck. This Oriental crap is all imitation, and they're just trying to steal business from the boys who really work on. That truck is like a car with a bed.
If ford is so friggen tough why are the trannies cracking in two and the engines catching on fire? Better think before you go running your mouth.Fordistough said:Are you serious?

Not really the way it is, I'm afraid. The workers in other contries "willing" to work "harder" for less are the 3rd world countries and recently upgraded ones where there IS no work so working for $2.00/hour is GOOD money and if they don't work hard they will be replaced in a heartbeat by one of the thousands of other unemployed people.dmontgomery said:Any way....as far as jobs.....maybe if the american worker was willing to actually work for their pay and be productive, then the car companies would keep jobs here. How can a company argue with foreign workers who are willing to truely work instead of whine and actually earn less for it. I hate it that things are this way......but we as americans are lazy and think we "deserve" a paycheck....while many foreign work-ethics put Americans to shame.

Actually, Justme, Nowadays the Frenchies bought Mack, and Renault-itized it. Now it is a wussy truck, with no quality, durability, or dependancy. What is the world coming to?justme- said:Time's going to come when you need to buy a Mack to get a real truck that actually has a truck suspension and a work rated frame....
Mack is now (and has been for the past few years) owned by Volvo AB of Sweden...Fordistough said:Actually, Justme, Nowadays the Frenchies bought Mack, and Renault-itized it. Now it is a wussy truck, with no quality, durability, or dependancy. What is the world coming to?
