This four-door five-seat pickup breaks from traditional truck design with unitized body construction instead of the body-on-frame layout used by other truck manufacturers. While many truck aficionados don’t like this type of construction, Honda capitalizes on it by providing extra interior room and cargo space, along with more carlike handling. Competitors include the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier.
