HondaTruck.org just launched for the upcoming Honda SUT

[GatorGreg]

Hey all, Daniel who runs our sister site AcuraMDX.org just started a new site for the upcoming Honda SUT "pickup truck", so be sure to check out www.HondaTruck.org if you'd like to learn more about this exciting future offering from Honda - I think it's based on the same platform as the MDX and goes into production this November and should be in showrooms by January '05. If you decide to join up over there be sure to mention you heard about it here at Toyota-4Runner.org

Let the "that unibody monstrosity ain't no real pickup truck" debate begin

I'd rather get a FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC, at least its got a bed. Well thats just me.

i think the XRUNNER would be a great candidate for comparison to the HONDA SUT but not so sure if the XRUNNER is or considered a SUT...what i meant in an earlier post was a real pick up bed just like the XRUNNER anyhow im sure it will catch alot of enthusiasts later on.

Maybe it's just me...

But I never understood these pickups. Why get a bed so small, it's really nothing more than a SUV with the back opened? If I were to get a pickup it would be something like the Toyota Tundra, Ford, or Chevy. But these that are about half of the normal bed (6feet?) just does not make sense to me.

It seems to be the latest big thing, I saw one of the new H2 SUTs driving around over the weekend. Honda is touting their upcoming SUT as a "cool dad" vehicle - I think it will sell well.

Honda hasn't been afraid to think in metal. They have come out with models like the original Odyssey that clearly was a good vehicle but missed the target market. So what did they do, but come out with a new model.

So this SUT may be a market survey in metal. After all, it's not like Honda to be first at anything, especially a new model. And an SUT is new, no matter who comes up with one.

Is the forum not ready?? It links me to some Mesothelioma info website.
