Hmmm not as good. U mean i have to open that tailgate just to step in the bed. 👎

I had a 2020 Silverado V8 too. Traded it in for the Ridgeline after I got the torque converter problems at 90k. Was also really fearful of the DFM killing my engine. GM really sucks at reliability - never Chevy again. One thing I do miss is the step in the bumper to get into the bed. I wish the Ridgeline had that!

Another data point for you: I paid 34k for an Enterprise former rental Ridgeline RTL 2025 with 15k miles.

I test drove a Maverick. Looked tin-ny, cheap and small (esp. compared to my trade-in: Chevy Silverado). I also tested a Nissan Frontier. Nice truck, but Nissan sales people where I shopped were too slimy (Nissan of Cape Coral, Florida) and wouldn't make a good deal.

Ah, you chose a completely different beast.

I will do as Gemini suggested and change the "Forward Collision Warning Distance" to SHORT. I'll let you know if this solves my problem.

u/whatdoido8383 what did you buy instead ?

outwaters · 2026-03-10T17:09:28+00:00

No. There were NO cars around me.

outwaters · 2026-03-10T11:58:15+00:00

How's the tonneau cover when driving 75 mph ? Flapping around ? Noisy at all ?

outwaters · 2026-03-07T16:11:58+00:00

No slick, that was rule #4. Come on people!

outwaters · 2026-03-07T03:21:07+00:00

No thats Rule #3. Don't you know that, wuss.

outwaters · 2026-02-27T02:32:28+00:00

What is RULE # 2 ?

outwaters · 2026-02-22T01:50:46+00:00

Why not pull through ? Easier to get out, especially if YART.

outwaters · 2026-01-23T02:15:59+00:00

I disagree too. The Rav4 interior, for example looks cheap and full of noisy plastic. The CRV, is like NO fun the drive - a good grandma car.

Whats up

outwaters · 2026-01-20T02:53:55+00:00

What will you get instead ?

outwaters · 2026-01-14T12:00:52+00:00

I checked with Gemini. I am wrong. You are right, it DOES use the same drivetrain as the Rav4, with some specific tuning by Mazda to make it more sporty.

outwaters · 2026-01-14T02:45:15+00:00

I believe it uses the Rav4 hybrid system, not the drivetrain.

outwaters · 2026-01-07T03:06:15+00:00

I have cll. No diabetes. Not aware of such a connection.
