    Honda to build a pickup

    I read in the newspaper yesterday that Honda will be putting a pick up truck into production in 2005. Anyone heard of this. I'm a Toyota man, but I love my Hondas too. Anyone have any info on this????

    Yeah, I heard about that about a year ago. Some other car producers are going to release some new/strange looking trucks in the years to come. There was 3 new SUT's. Honda, Hummer...and Nissan.

    I always said that if Honda came out with a truck I'd buy it. When I saw this overgrown station wagon with a bed I changed my mind and bought a chevy. I'm very disapointed with Honda.

    Try putting an 4x8 sheet of plywood in that and close the tailgate......

    I have the short box on my truck (6ft) and it's just getting by as being big enough!

    Most people don't use trucks as trucks anymore. My parents have 2 chevy pickups. The '98 is my dad's work truck, and the '02 is my mom's ride. I've hauled more in my cadillac than her truck ever will. They are just like SUVs now, everyone wants one so they can waste gas and be ruged just like the people who really use trucks. That Honda truck is about as usefull as a civic with a higher ground clearence.

    What if you had one of these for hualing your trike? I think they are ugly station wagons but if you want a trike hualer and good gas mileage are they really that bad?

    Will your trike fit in it? (without a trailer?)

    With the tailgate down you could fit most quads in it so I'm sure a trike will fit.

    Exactly my point.....sorry I just don't like these "trucks".......like I said my 6ft box kills me because I can't even fit a full 4x8 sheet of plywood or 2x4 in it! But I can put my trike in it and close my cap door so I am happy, for now

    I don't see what's wrong with a short bed. A short bed is usefull for a lot of things. Just because it won't hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood doesn't mean it's not a truck. I think it's like anything else, you need to size it for your personal needs. Now this Honda makes me sick because all it is, is a station wagon with a bed. I'd be suprised if it could hold any weight or tow anything over 1500lbs. That's were the line is crossed here. My little truck can atleast pull my boat and could easily pull a nice 4-place sled trailer. So I guess as much as I dislike this station wagon I still have to ask, how bad would it be for the person who just wants a trike hualer and some decent gas mileage?

    That annoys me...trucks should be used as trucks. If you *don't* need to haul anything, or never will....then a truck is not for you.

    If you do it just for "image"...then I hate you, but if you raise up your truck, or put some more power under the hood to get a *nicer* ride(sort-of an image thing), then its cool...and not annoying.

    One article about it says that it will fit 2 - crf 450 bikes in it's bed - so I am assuming it will haul a 3 wheeler.
