[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 971522, member: 65699"] My Gen 1 has rear heat & A/C vents?? Ya'll keep telling me that the Gen 2 rides much better than the Gen 1, and in some cases that its stock handling is better than my Gen 1 with its upgraded shocks & swaybars. Someday I'll have to drive a Gen 2 to test that claim out. Gen 2 with traction control is probably easier to drive in the rain/light snow than my 2002 Gen 1 2wd with limited slip. As I remembered today, the hard way, just tapping the brake or improperly pulling off of the brake when you accelerate the ST from a stop into a tight/uphill turn causes traction loss, and instead of 100% of the power going to the road, you get about 30% and a mini-burnout. Sucks when that happens and there's traffic coming up fast behind you, but I still wouldn't trade my RWD ST for a FWD ridgeline. Unlike the American Top Gear, I don't believe that one of the basic tenets of a truck is the ability to easily break rear traction (History ran a marathon of it last weekend) :bwahaha: [/QUOTE]
