Been eyeballing these, Still has a V6 engine and regular steering. What are you folks experience with these? Keep bouncing to the Tacoma but, like all, they went to a turbo 4 cylinder. Ranger looks good but has a turbo 4 and doesn't have a split rear bench which I do want. What do you think?

I acquired a 2024 Pro4X and have had since last April. So far, I have had no complaints. The 3.9L and drive-train have been flawless. It did well in the snow and mud I’ve had it in. I went from a full size to this , so packing it for hunts is different but doable. The 6’ bed is available in the 2025 model.

Bought a 2024 Pro4x in July. First truck I’ve owned that wasn’t full size. As soon as the warranty runs out I trade because of all of the miles I put on. Have just under 20,000 on it no complaints or issues. It gets way better gas mileage than advertised! My son was a technician at a major brand dealership for a long time and he said they are all junk nowadays so just buy what you like!

How true. All the brands have had major issues . Chevy lifter and transmission, Ford the same. Toyota Tundras, Tacomas major issue and Dodge with the problem Hemis. Nissan trucks not anything major yet.

I had a 2010 SV 6 foot bed. N o major issues. Bought 2024 SV 6 foot bed in July. No issues yet. Averaging around 21 mpg. As mentioned turning radius sucks. The tires it came with new are junk street tires. Need 4wd on wet grass. Will probably put more aggressive tires on it in the Fall. Both trucks have been solid.

Nice truck Ruger!!!! I came close to buying almost that same exact truck. I like the white.
While I like the looks of the new frontier, it probably wouldn’t get me away from the Honda ridgeline! Don’t over look them. I’ve had f150’s and I don’t miss them. Tough durable and reliable are the Honda’s. Very smooth ride and comfort. 240k on mine ….going for 300k before I go get another.
last Honda had 315k . Everything still worked on that one and this one everything still works. Brakes, tires and oil changes. That’s it.

Them Honda Ridgelines are great trucks, a little light on the trailer pull than I needed. My brother has had his for a long time and has been a good vehicle for him. We were just talking about it a couple minutes ago.
About the only thing ya can buy that still gas a regular engine and still has buttons and knobs to control things. Even still has hydraulic steering instead of electric.
oh nice truck…. I didn’t see it when I posted earlier! I think they are a very good looking truck! I hope it does good for you!
I really haven’t been able to do much less with the ridgeline than my f150. I can haul two big scoops of mulch….two big scoops of wood, deer,turkeys and bear. I have found it to be durable and tough. I think it will do everything the other trucks in its class with no problems. I don’t pull much of anything but mowers. For my use it is perfect and not lacking. V6 and I know it rides better than most in its class especially the Tacoma.

The Ridgeline doesn't really qualify as a truck due to its uni body no full frame design it's more of a Honda Pilot with a bed I currently own a 24 Tacoma the last 4 or 5 have been F150's the main reason I have the Toyota now is the price when I switched jobs the F150 was not any longer in my budget but I know the Ridgeline wouldn't be able to off road where I deer and bear hunt but everyone has there opinions and buys what they like
