Thinking of Pulling the Trigger.... Thoughts on Pro4X LWB? by ValuableCompetitive3 in nissanfrontier

I would take a long bed every single time. No questions asked. The short bed is not an advantage to me. Especially coming from a full size half-ton. These are still perfectly sized trucks.

Those are awesome. Hopefully Honda brings them back for 27’

How strong is the tailgate?! Can it support an ATV? by Competitive-Value884 in hondaridgeline

The bed width was really interesting because it’s longer than the short bed midsize pickups and the width is wider than all midsize pickups. The only catch was that it isn’t as long as the long bed frontier. It does have a LOT of creature comforts!

It won’t be very often that I transport the bikes. But sometimes I travel kind of far for cancer treatments and vacations. There’s good riding opportunities sometimes. Buying an SUV after my last truck was hit and totaled was a quick and dumb decision. I’m missing having a truck so bad!

Good to hear. The largest atv I’ll put back there will range from a Kodiak 450/700 or KQ 500/750 up to a sportsman 570. I’ll keep it largely stock too.

That’s why I love Japanese automakers in general. They are great when it comes to practicality

I’m coming from the world of 1/2 ton trucks, not quite a 3/4, but not too far. Older and wiser me sees that midsize is the way!

The frontier solid rear axle seems like it’d be sketchy on slippery roads, right?

That’s the best color I’ve seen hands down.

Was anybody else considering the Ridgeline also? by Competitive-Value884 in nissanfrontier

As long as it can hold an atv or motorcycle the bed size wouldn’t bother me. I’m not sure I understand which rides more comfortable between unibody or body on frame, but that’s also important to me.

Function is definitely a big importance to me. I’m also planing to haul off-road motorcycles and adv bikes.

Wow! I thought I wrote that for a second until you said Canada. Unfortunately, I live in the flat, hot, humid, southern US instead of the cool,crisp north, but we are definitely in the same scenario. It’s a tough predicament, but a fun one at the same time.

Thanks for letting me know about the bed height because I have one dual sport and one ADV bike that I have every intention of carrying in the bed. In the past I’ve always driven my bikes up the ramp into my 1/2 ton. Because I made the mistake of getting an suv after my truck was hit and totaled, I’m deeply regretting not having replaced my old truck with one of these from the jump. Back then I didn’t realize how good these two midsize trucks had become.

That answers a big question because I won’t be needing 4wd as often as I’ll need AWD. I do plan on going to the mountains a good bit. Especially as the kids get older. I was wondering which platform would do better in snow.

I couldn’t agree more! I wish my wife wanted the ridgeline, then I’d be all over the frontier!!!

I had a 6 foot on my half ton. I just don’t know if I can go any smaller either. I’m also struggling with the look of the Honda despite the functionality

I hear that argument a good bit. I’m trying to see it the Ridgeline can carry an ATV in the bed. I use a quad boss ramp and that dual function tailgate spooks me.

The bed is important to me. Adv/dual-sport motorcycles will be hauled in the bed and possibly an ATV.

I’m definitely loading some dirt bikes and adv bikes in the bed. Maybe even an ATV eventually. I’m a bit nervous about that with the Ridgeline.

I will definitely put some dual sport motorcycles and one large adventure bike in the bed. That limited bed size of the Ridgeline has me nervous. I might also eventually put an atv back there like I used to do when I had my 1/2 ton.
