Thoughts on trading full size truck for ridgeline (all wheel drive, buying, gas)

High. I just checked for my 2014 and private party is $21K, trade is $18K. That's on a final price (w/o taxes, tags) of $25K.

Familyman, look up the Tacoma DCLB, it has a full backseat and a 6.5’ bed. In the used Tacoma market, it is one of the most desirable.

I think we've been reading two different threads.

The ridgeline tows up to 5k lbs and is plenty for your basic recreational use. TBH, the 5ft bed is actually more useful than my crewmax with the under bed storage and low profile wheel wells.

I’m not sure I’m quite there yet to make the switch as I do love the look and feel of the tundra. I’d also rather sell my tundra private party instead of being low balled and playing the game for hours on end.

Maybe, but the first quote is the 3rd post from the OP who asked the original question. Note his supposition in sentence two of the first paragraph.

What are the miles and what is the trim package?

52+K. XL, 2WD, XL (i don't know what the package is called but cruise, power windows, SelectShift, Sirius capable, Bluetooth, MP3, CD) enhancements.

The dealership where I bought offered me $20K for it a couple months ago.

I have a hard time calling those very light duty Chevy / GMC / Fords 'trucks'. It's Western Star or it's not a real truck.

And rides like it.

I do like reading the comments of the Big 3 fan boys telling us how they use the pristine looking bed of their commuter F150 every day. It's okay boys, we're not your wives and you don't need to convince us.

With FWD and unibody construction, to me its a light duty truck in the El Camino / Ranchero category. Probably drives good with being able to put items in the back. I do like the inbed storage and tailgate openings. Better looking than previous models.
