I Hope you like this My Wife and I picked it up Friday.

Its a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I put some pics up if you guy dont know what they look like. The one we got is all black. The 22'' Momo's are going to look sick on the beast.







Are's looks just like the 2nd pic but are's is black. The 1st pic was a Prototype.

I read an article somewhere that said that the way the stock suspension is set up, there is no way to lower them. I dont know for sure, cuz I have never looked.
You would think that if they could be modded, someone would have done it already. They have been out for quite awhile already.

Not a real truck??? Are you on drugs? This thing can tow 5000lbs (not bad for a mid size truck) Indepent suspension makes it ride and handle absolutly awesome. 255 hp and 252 ft lbs of TQ V6. Not a truck... Your a fuckin idiot. Who cares if its uni body or not? The thing is badass.

Oh yea its all wheel drive if the front tires start spinning, Much safer than a "normal truck". You can push a button and you got 4 wheel drive. I tell you some people.

"From the ground up, the Ridgeline was built for everything Honda buyers and owners would want in an SUV, plus the anticipated capability they might need in a truck. A good example of this compromise is the way Honda engineers straddled the fence between a car and truck platform--specifically, a unibody chassis that has a ladder frame inside. There are seven steel-reinforced crossmembers that, along with the lower part of the unibody, form six fully boxed support zones. It's meant to allow for independent front and rear suspensions that will improve the vehicle's handling and safety as well as provide better use of space. The MacPherson struts work with coil springs in front; it's a match that's proven successful in many trucks and SUVs. However, the rear suspension mates a multilink trailing-arm setup with coil springs. While this provides for excellent on-road handling and makes the ride comfortable in many conditions, our concern would be with the Ridgeline's capacity for extended hard work. Still, after driving the Ridgeline over our local commuter route for several days with close to 900 pounds in the bed, we were impressed with how it performed." Quoted by Trucktrend.com
