>Reddit tells me I should get a honda ridgeline because I don't "need" a bigger truck>Go to look at one>Open door, see this are you faggots fucking kidding me
>>28908691go back, nigger
>>28908691You have to go back.
>>28908691>noooooooo my automatic gear selector NEEDS to unnecessarily take up more space in the center console because..... it just does, okay!!!Autofags deserve the rope
>>28908691I don’t get it. What am I looking at? The ridgeline is awesome for normies. J35 is an exquisite engine. Makes the Tacoma truck look like the interior and comfort of a Tacoma. What’s the problem?Yoire not buying a reliable truck because of a shifter?? Did your mom do drugs while pregnant?

>>28908691>are you faggots fucking kidding meare we r*ddit? did we tell you to do that? no, you fucking idiot, so go back to your gay little updoot farm and complain to them.
>>28908982Push button shifters are already Human/Machine Interface disasters, but a push button shifter on a horizontal surface near a cupholder is more retarded than the center console key switch on an old SAAB. It is quite literally a dealbreaker if you’re not a moron or a leaseoid. It’s literally worse than lighting controls inside a touch screen menu, or even a gear selector inside a touch screen menu.
>>28909021> near a cupholderGot it. You’re a slob.
>>28909079Bad designs can be compensated for with behavior, but it doesn’t make them good designs. Especially when the design encourages a behavior that countermands the “good” behavior needed to compensate for its shortcomings. Above and beyond risk of liquid spillage, cup holders are used to store all sorts of things, and the risk to the switches is not simply fluid.It’s a truck, planning for dirt and spills is important.
>>28909079Shut up you faggot nigger
>>28908701I mean, I agree, but Hondas implementation is retarded. Make it buttons to take to less space but then make the buttons so big and so spread out that it still takes just as much space
Transmission button selection can be kino if it wants to be
>>28909350lol imagine you forget the park knob has been baking in the sun for the good part of a hot summer's day and you absent-mindedly go to move it
the first 4 posts makes me think your reddit friends followed you here
>>28909374Oh you're legs were already burnt off from sitting down on the shiny, slick leather couch that is the seats
>>28908691>Alright, we're read to go>Hold on a sec, I have to finger my car's clit to get it into drive
>>28909423If you wouldn’t have sex with your vehicle you need a better one. I would not have sex with a ridgeline.
>>28909423Which is different from tightly gripping your cars stiff cock? Manual drivers confirmed homos.
>>28909459What's more manly then a hard cock?

>>28908691What were you expecting to find? It's not a manual. Manual trucks for the most part do not exist now.
>>28909456so true
>>28909459
>>28909709>Manual trucks for the most part do not exist now.More proof that trucks are for women drivers now.
>>28909743auto is better for towing
>>28910146Auto lowers the skill floor for towing, but is not better. Towing with an auto greatly increases power demand and cooling requirements.
>>28910255Manual pickup trucks were typically detuned and rated to tow less than the auto variant. Modern autos give you a lot more gears to work with and keep the engine in the powerband better than a 5/6 speed manual. Modern autos keep the TC locked like 99% of the time which helps with heat management. People cooking their trannies while towing are doing so because they're overloading their trucks. Just because your truck is rated to tow 12k lbs doesn't mean you should hook up a 12k lb (dry) trailer up to it.
>>28910255It flat out is mechanically superior. TCs and helical gearing means the drive train can handle more torque input and mitigate any shock loading. You're being an idiot by limiting yourself to manual purism.
>>28908691Surely there's a truck of a similar size with a normal gear switch. Or you could get an older model. Am I crazy for thinking this?
