battle of the new trucks!

Toyota and Nissan have some heat coming their way for King of Import Trucks supremacy...Tundra and Frontier, meet the Ridgeline and Raider...the Raider kinda reminds me of a Dodge for some reason...what're your guys opinions?

a guy at a honda dealership told me "smart people dont drive mitsubishis"

Mitsubishi Raider



Honda Ridgeline


Honda is always redefining every automobile catefory it steps into...coupes, sedans, roadsters, suvs, minivans, motorcycles, atv, jets now trucks....i guess the only thing left is for Honda to start making boats (unless they did that alredy)

To quote when you said "...the Raider kinda reminds me of a Dodge for some reason...what're your guys opinions?"

The reason it kinda looks like a Dodge is Because it is, its a new dakota in disguise.

I'd buy a Honda Ridgeline after its redesign... I'm not really feeling the current one. I like some of the looks from the Element, but all together, it just looks odd. In fact, I think its the weirdest out of the mid-sized trucks. The Raider's interior I heard would be awesome. I'd like to see some true Mitsu off road parts for it too... Think about it, a Raider Evo...

my dad has a tundra, and the tundra and titan are the only "real" trucks coming from the import side. the ridgeline is awesome though and more practical for most people than a tundra or titan. i dont like the ridgeline grille, but the honda accessory grille is the ****.
