			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Honda Ridgeline is Honda’s new pickup truck on the market. It uses Honda&#8217;s unibody large vehicle platform, shared with the Acura MDX and Honda Odyssey. It is powered by an all aluminum 255 hp 3.5 L V6 coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission with all wheel drive capable of towing 5000 lbs.  The Ridgeline will be the first pickup truck with a fully-independent suspension.</p>
<p>Some of the more innovative features of the Ridgeline are its tailgate, which can fold down or hinge to the side, and an 8.5 cubic foot “In-Bed Trunk&#8221; below the truck bed. The bed is integrated with the body, similar to the Chevrolet Avalanche. The Ridgeline comes with anti-lock brakes and side-curtain airbags as standard equipment.</p>
<p>The bed is 49.5” x 60” with the tailgate up.  With the tailgate down, you get 49.5” x 79”.  And remember, the tailgate also swings to the side so you can easily access the in-bed trunk.  The tailgate is designed to support 300 lbs. While driving.  The steel reinforced composite bed resists dents and corrosion.  Another neat feature were ample tie downs in the beds and several cargo lights.</p>
<p>Standard towing features include prewiring 4 pin and 7 pin, along with a brake controller.  Heavy duty radiator, power steering cooler, and transmission cooler keep things cool when the work begins.  Huge 4 wheel disk brakes help stop quicker with the aid of the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).  All the dealer has to do is install the hitch and harness.</p>
<p>The 8” ground clearance works well with the 4 wheel independent suspension.  Yes, all 4 wheels.  Unheard of in a truck, but this is a Honda.  They wanted their truck to instill confidence in the corners and a stable, responsive feel while maintaining ride quality.  The closed box frame and unit body construction means this truck is tough and ready to work.</p>
<p>Traction control is standard along with a locking rear differential for extremely low traction conditions.  It can stay locked with a push of a button up to 18 mph.  Along with traction control, you get stability control called Vehicle Stability Assist.  This corrects your cornering problems before they even become a problem.</p>
<p>The tires come with tire pressure monitoring systems which will be standard in all vehicles very soon (government mandate).  Air bags are all around in front, side, and side curtain.  It will only deploy what is necessary depending on the type of accident.  These safety features along with ABS braking make this one of the safest trucks on the road.</p>
<p>There are three trim levels starting with the RT, RTS and the luxury RTL.  You can get heated leather seats and a moonroof.  These amenities were only thought to be available in cars.  This truck also has available navigation system, homelink, and a hidden in dash cd changer.</p>
<p>The 22 gallon tank is ample for the 16 MPG city and 21 MPG highway EPA mileage estimates.  The six color combinations come with 3 interior choices.  Options include a bed extender, tail light “garnish”, chrome bumper trim, 17” wheels, body side protectors, roof rack, fender flares, running boards and a towing package mentioned above.  I’ve also seen hard tonneau cover-locking for the bed, and in-bed trunk dividers.  There’s a larger brush guard for the front bumper available for you off roaders.</p>
<p>All in all, looks to be a pretty good and well thought out truck from Honda.  Check out my pictures of the Honda Ridgeline at the car show on my website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding good <b>classic trucks for sale</b> is often a daunting<br />
task, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be!  You see, the internet<br />
provides you with a great way to locate <b>classic trucks for sale</b>.</p>
<p>While you may see a decline in <b>classic trucks for sale</b> in<br />
your local newspaper, there is a good chance that you will<br />
find <b>classic trucks for sale</b> on the internet.</p>
<p>This is because there are more people on the internet<br />
searching for specific items such as <b>classic trucks for sale</b>.  Plus, there are more people selling their <b>classic trucks for sale</b> on the internet because they know there is a<br />
large target audience searching for <b>classic trucks for sale</b>.</p>
<p><b>Classic trucks for sale</b> are more difficult to find than a<br />
ten year old pickup truck because they have been out of<br />
circulation much longer and several have been used for scrap<br />
parts.</p>
<p>Of course, that&#8217;s not to say you can&#8217;t find <b>classic trucks for sale</b>.  I am just pointing out the fact that <b>classic trucks for sale</b> are more rare than recently built trucks.</p>
<p>This is why I suggest searching the internet to find <b>classic trucks for sale</b>.  In my opinion, your chances of finding<br />
specific <b>classic trucks for sale</b> are much greater than<br />
newspapers.</p>
<p>Individuals and companies are posting their <b>classic trucks for sale</b> on the internet every day hoping that you will see<br />
them.</p>
<p>In conclusion, if you are looking for <b>classic trucks for sale</b>, you may want to take a look on the internet.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Used pickup trucks</b> are great for manual labor.  While cars are limited in space and capability, <b>used pickup trucks</b> have the needed work space and are great to haul large objects and big equipment.  Plus, <b>used pickup trucks</b> have truck beds that are built to endure the weight of heavy objects.</p>
<p><b>Used pickup trucks</b> are also more practical for most people.  The reason that I say this is because newer pickup trucks are getting to be more and more expensive and harder for the common worker to afford.</p>
<p>Now, I do not want to take away from the advancement in pickup truck technology.  Over the past decade, we have witnessed trucks evolve into a practical automobile that is much more user friendly to different size people and more conducive to both genders.</p>
<p>However, with the advancement of trucks seems to come the increase in prices.  Yes, I realize that is not the only reason but it seems to be a factor.</p>
<p>This is why I along with several other people, tend to think that <b>used pickup trucks</b> are needed now more than ever and<br />
with the growing number of internet users, finding <b>used pickup trucks</b> is becoming much easier.</p>
<p><b>Used pickup trucks</b> are definitely a solid alternative. Plus, most trucks built recent years will include many of the newer features that have been installed to make trucks a more feasible automotive option.</p>
<p>These <b>used pickup trucks</b> will combine the hauling capacity of a truck and the luxury of an automobile.</p>
