Yes.

i want to see this raised 18 in with huge mud tires and flowmasters;)

Ha it's missing something that all trucks....torque Ha probably wouldn't even be able to tow sea-doo.

oh crap i forgot about that...can you guys imagine the torque jokes about a honda truck :eek:

ROFL. After the page loaded, it made me watch an in-frame ad for the Nissan Titan. Talk about product placement!! LOL!

I hope to God this isn't a fullsize, they aren't even planning to put a V8 in it. Good luck trying to sell a weak ass truck like that. However if its the size of a S-10 or Dakota......well then....I'll have to put those in their place.

Well, if it's the size of an S-10, the 240HP/242TQ Pilot engine should propel it nicely...and it should retain the trademark Honda lightness...it'll be a Unibody instead of a body-on-frame.

Yeah well by 2005 mine will be supercharged, and with the 4.10 gears going in it soon, thats an asskicking.........and a lot of tire burning.

bah...honda pwnz j00 f00's....

get over it.... :evillol:

ugly as a mofo if u ask me....wonder if they'll have it rev to 8k...hrmmm..... :biggrin:

I saw that too. Oh sweet parody, Nissan even dominates Honda in web advertising :iceslolan

i wonder if you can tow more if you hit vtec :grinno:

You don't need to, put it in tow mode and it sprays more naawzzz.

to put in tow mode do you need to double clutch or regular granny shifting is good enough?

Is this supposed to be it? The site says all aluminum vtec v6.

Looks like a mini-Avalanche...

My god, I've run through so many emotions at once I don't know which to say... First I felt vindicated because I KNEW Honda was going to come out with a truck before too long, it's their one weakness in the auto markets that Nissan and Toyota had covered. Then I thought it was hilarious when I thought of a Honda truck competing with any of the trucks of the big three. Ludicrous. Then when I even heard the word 'unibody' mentioned I wanted to laugh even harder since I wouldn't trust a truck like that to haul cardboard with. After that, it was anger at seeing that 'SUT' concept DeVil posted. Just this morning I was thinking about how the Japanese have copied so many car designs and wouldn't you know it? Another copy shows up right here in the forums. Oh well, maybe this will give the big three even more incentive to give us the best of the best in trucks. Although they already are the best...

Dear god I can see the ricers now, huge ass wings stickers type R badges. Wait are they going to make a type R :rofl:

Wow you could fi a whole... propane tank in the back of that... or maybe a shortblock 13b...

Hell yeah. Dodge Ram 2500 Turbodiesel ANYDAY!

that's just not right.... but as for "hell freezing over"... it was 30ºF here this morning...

Looks like an Explorer Sportrac screwed a new Civic SI.

omg thats soo retarded to use V-tec on such a vehicle. the goal for these things are suppose make as much power as low in the rev range as possible. having v-tec defeats that whole purpose. that is soo dumb plus they never even made a v8 before. so its sooo weird.

:lol:

love honda...but damn man...they gotta do better than that.

im sure that every 16 year old is going to own a honda "truck" type r....eesh...u know its jus the stickers that make the type r wut it is...

Depends on who you're racing :evillol:

uh uh....just came up with an ideea....this truck wou'lve been perfect for the F&F....instead of those civics they could have used those trucks so after the hijack they could load the stolen stuff in them

maybe they can use them in 3F3F:grinno:


btw KrNxRaCer00 since you own a real type R....how much crap do you get for it when people see your badge....unfortunatelly for you because of those kids the type r has become the number one sticker...do people actually belive you have a typer R or do they just asume its just another ls with the type r badge?

Hey now!!!! be fair, I'm sure the reason for 'Tezza and Type R stickers will at least shift from 20 more bhp to "auw lots more pulling power b0e"

Or maybe we'll see a change, big roof mounted driving lights, winches and snorkels will be the new trend, all of which we'll get a good view of while they are being towed out of the mud :lol:

well a real type R is pretty easy to tell. heres what to look for

1: no side moldings
2: five lug wheels
3: lower front chin spoiler
4: red stitched seats ( not so obvious )
5: orange interior lighting ( not so obvious )

KrNxRaCer00 I would watch that badge, bet you people will try to steal it.

"Or maybe we'll see a change, big roof mounted driving lights, winches and snorkels will be the new trend" Yea and it will all be chrome :rofl:

Honda...... unibody...... V6.......... truck.........

Ahem, Honda marketing execs, :twak: :twak: :twak: :twak: What were you thinking? Toyota and Nissan are barely making inroads with 'Merican style trukks, and you think an upsized open bed Element is going to pull it off?

I repeat.

edit by jay: please, think of the margins!

Layla's Keeper you also forgot about the fact that it has v-tec. i guess when you rev past 6K it can tow more stuff. now htat is pretty dumb.

I wonder how much money Honda is going to have to bribe the magazines with to say, "This truck's a keeper!" when they test it against the big 3 and the Tundra. I can't wait to see someone trying to haul a 5th wheel trailer with one.

actually...the type r gets less looks than my gsr did. to most of the ppl driving, it jus looks like a stock integra w/ a big wing and stickers (no badges...so they'd have to be REALLY desperate and actually peel off the stickers.)

nobody really tries to race me, and the 1st thing ppl will ask if they're checking it out is "is it a real type r?"

tatII, u forgot the wing and exhaust for exterior, and carbon fiber trim, shift knob/boot for the interior :biggrin:

yes i know the type R has a big exhuast stock ( for a stock exhuast ) but you can't really judge a honda by that since most of them have aftermarket exhuast. i was goin to mention it, but its not a good way to indicate if its a type R or not. same iwth the wing. any integ to buy a aftermarket version. so you have to judge by the things that can't be fakes easily such as the 5 lugs, and no side moldings. and yes the carbon fiber textured vents. very very cool.

hmm...SUT, thought i heard that name before on an american car?! At least the Titan looks cool.

not all "vtec" kicks in at high rpm's as for ivtec it works through the powerband, and doesent the new f150 have valve timing?

They won't be hauling anything though. They would bend that unibody so far out of shape the truck would be driving sideways, not mention they would have no power until the damn thing hit 6000RPM. You can always add the underbody light kits, a wing, bodykit, fart can, and some really big wheels then you will have all the power in the world.

I can see it now, and jacked up Ford F-150 with dual Flowmasters Vs. Honda Truck lower with a body kit and a fart can. :lol:

hey it would then be a 10 second car! but it might need nos b/c nos cars always beat non nos cars!

the i vtec thing is extremely new, but i have never seen a honda engine just use a variable intake or exhuast cam timing motor. without the 2 stage cams. if you can show me a honda engine where there is no 2 step process, then i'll say that its not goin to do that on the truck.

BUT- if they hauled things bent the Unibody and ended up driving sideways, then they could be the mad-stylez d0rift0rs y0!!!!!

I wonder if this will be the new engine swap every honda guy wants to do. Kind of like how VW guys like to swap the tourage (spelling?) motor into the GTIs and such.

Wiat till rich people start wrecking Phaetons, and the GTIs start getting 6.0L W12s.
