Finally got the vehicle I wanted.
I recently had a great opportunity to upgrade from a 2013 Corolla to a well kept 2016 Silverado High Country with low mileage. After driving it for 2 weeks I felt it was much more than what I needed, not to mention the vast difference after driving a small sedan for so long. So I started looking for mid-sized trucks that are comfortable for a family and after researching and reading plenty of posts on this sub, I found the Ridgeline.
I went to a dealership just to test drive one just to see if I like it and found that I love it. Ended up leaving the same day with this 2023 RTL-E and I couldn't be happier. It even came with a hard tonneau cover already. I'm 36 and I have never been able to buy "the vehicle I wanted" because of availability and/or buying family members' old cars (like the Silverado).
I'll def have this truck for the long haul. The first thing I want to get is a compartment for under the back seats.
