it doesnt look too bad....but we were about to give up last night. this texas clay/dirt is horrible. just got it stuck in a rut that someone else created when they went through with what looked to be 33"+ tires. my wheels were dangling, the axles were proped up by mud...the tires would spin water (they were covered 3/4 of the way up).
The Honda was based on the GM platform, with their own tweaks. Honda made some engines for GM in the past in trade for the Avalanche concept idea. They just sissified it with a unibody design and based the chassis more upon their own stuff (the minivan). No thanks, not a fan of IRS or unibodies on a truck. Was done a long time ago, proven not to work, and axed within a few years. But I guess every lemming in America will love an engineering flaw if it has a Honda badge on it.
Mitsubishi used to make trucks (remember the Mighty Max?), but this new Raider is just a rebadged Dodge Dakota and is built by Dodge. Mitsubishi is basically bankrupt if this new Eclipse fails, and since Daimler Chrysler owns a controlling share, they're trying to keep Mitsu alive. I could care less if Mitsubishi gets the axe personally.
