honda's first truck with a v6 almost met the payload capacity of a v8 truck thats been around for years. and the honda can tow way more than the 1500.
sure, the silverado has more power and ft/lbs, but honda made a good move. I highly doubt alot of the hicks here in texas will buy into them, but I'm sure they'll be popular in the citys....
