i dunno. i think its a bad idea. not many people will get a truck with a v6. honda should stop being so damn stubborn and start developing a v8.

I see a lot of people around here where I live with v6 trucks, probably more than the v8's. I think its because they are cheaper than the v8's.

The truck looks liek a big Honda Element which is a very, very bad thing. Its a 3.5L V6 and it will never be taken seriously in the truck community because it will never have the towing capacity that V8s do.

The Ford definitely felt stronger off the line, but the competition was close, and, with a heavy-duty cooling package, the Ridgeline never lost its cool."

So I don't think its exactly a bad thing. Also not a bad job for a little V-6 in the truck community. They also said Honda does realize the will probably not convince full-size pickup owners but are targeting more of the Tacoma, Dakota, Frontier and Colorado owners.

One thing thats going to be cool is that its built off the Odyssey and Pilot Chasis so the turning radius is going to be smaller than most trucks. Also, they said the Ridgeline handles better than most trucks, plus its AWD.
