OMFG! Honda truck?
What with all of the Nissan and Toyota thing going on, I am sure that eventually we will have to wade through 100 posts a day on here eventually talking about this thing and why it is or isn't as good as the new Ford. I guess Honda saw the Hemi and figured that anyone could just make a dang truck and people would buy it.

I am not sure that it is going to be full-size, but it will be eventually. I bet a Honda truck would drive forever, though.

It's definately a different looking truck...
To me, it looks like a Honda Odyssey van with a truck bed on it. Same lines... same curves. I'm just not sure about it though...

The 2005 Honda pickup will likely be based on the successful mid-size underpinnings that serves as the platform for the Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot and Acura MDX. What's unique about this choice is that Honda will use unibody construction, deviating from traditional body-on-frame design used in today's pickups.
Since Honda doesn't have a V8 engine in its lineup, and it's doubtful it would create one for just this vehicle, expect to see the same Honda SOHC V6 used in the Pilot show up in this truck. This could change if Acura produces a long-rumored V8 for its RL luxury car.
