Two negatives total. Honda trucks?

I have wondered about the Honda trucks also, but to me, they are only a truck in the most literal sense. I think having a bed qualifies it as a truck. Everything else about it is decidedly not. It has no frame. 
It would be good for a quick trip to the home center, but not anything else that a normal truck would be useful for.
With that being said, my uncle owns a current-generation Honda truck and he is very satisfied, however, as real truck needs are very minimal.

Honda doesn't make a truck.

This made me kinda chuckle.  Back somewhere in '86 or so, I drove a used Saab, which could actually fit a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood if I laid both back seats down, and did so, many times.  I also brought home eight railroad ties with the same vehicle, although it took two trips as more than five ties caused my suspension to bottom out, parked.  
A pickup truck, is what you make it.

In 1969 sold new Hi-Lux’s for $1200. no a/c, no radio, & no rear bumper. 46 years later that’s what i bought to retire with. 2014 TRD 4x4 now at 90+k. 

Can’t count the number of Taco’s traded in with 250+k miles that we resold and stayed on the road for years and years. 

Buy the Taco.

You may find this interesting. Look at the Forums pull down.

Agreed. Also note that Elon uses the same sail design in his truck to strengthen it. Not a great design for a truck IMO.

most people dont actually use a truck as a truck, they just want a truck.  i wouldnt rule out a honda faux truck if there were just one or two times a year i needed an actual truck. a home depot delivery with a rented truck is 19 bucks

Maybe they dont anymore but they kinda use too........Just kidding of course, never owned a Honda anything. I have more miles on an HD then most put on cars or trucks.
