    Tornado intake, Duralube, Fartcan.
    The big three will have to do way better than this for me to even consider looking at one of their vehicles and not thinking "hunk of shit".

    If Honda would man up and make an actual truck, I might be interested in it.

    Honda's main market is 18-24yo that drive Civics like GT-Rs and Soccer Moms who do 30 under any speed limit.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    I think they also make trucks for people who'd rather be driving cars :p...

    Exterior styling is terrible, and i HATE the absurdly high beltline. Just makes the truck look ugly and hugely reduces visibility.
