Truck sales Jan 2018. Taco surges

Indeed.

Well. Some guys at my old gym back home and I got some year long passes to the San Diego zoo, right? So we used them. A lot. Nighttime zoo was awesome. I could take my dates there and picnic. People usually left around nine and it stayed open until 11 or 12. I became friends with the hyenas. Hyenas love pretzels. And you know, koalas, rock hyrax, the chacoan peccary. The dik dik. All these bros became tight with me. I fell real weird right now explaining how much time I spent at a zoo.

 

So back on topic, I understand koalas prefer the Tacoma to the Ranger 5 to 1 despite the Rangers "water crossing front end".

 

It's ok.
I feel weird hearing it.

 

I wish they would slap the sweet 4.6l V8 into it.

 

It is powerful, least the Diesel version is, which are all of those trucks. The 2.3L eco boom that is going into probably 90% of the trucks in North America is not a good motor. It has not been refined. You can just google that motor and see the issues. Ill stick to my 3.5L NA any day and in any condition.

No doubt that Ford will bring the chowder with the Raptor, the base trim idk for sure.

 

This is due to the eucalyptus coating they put on the soy wires to keep rats from eating it. Koala maulings have risen 500%

 

San Diego zoo is awesome. Until a monkey flings his poo at you. That's just wrong. I mean like why?

 

Wrong is subjective.

 

Worst looking "truck" I have ever seen.

Honda needs to get out of the truck market and focus on their cars and SUV's IMHO.

 

All excuses. Not making enough? They don't want tons of them sitting around not selling. It's not like there's a huge demand that isn't being met.. It's not selling good because it's incredibly ugly and isn't a truck.

 

That's one of the examples I just listed.

But do you really think they can't sell more than 3 base models in the entire state of CA?? Come on now...

Obviously more going on.

 

Sounds too much like a conspiracy theory. The number one goal of every company in the world is to be as profitable as possible.
It's like the guy with the ugly girlfriend telling all his friends that he could do better but he just doesn't feel like it. I ain't buying it. It makes no sense. If they could sell more, they would.

I think Honda might be trying build a special niche cult following product. They're doing everything they can to be different and it's failing. They just can't sell more of them and I think sooner than later they're going to discontinue it or actually make a truck.
