Honda has made a name for itself as a popular car manufacturer in the US. Honda's popularity rests largely on its impressive compact vehicles and SUVs. For example, Kelly Blue Book has awarded the 2025 Honda CR-V as the best SUV while the 2025 Honda Civic Type R is the best small car according to US News.
Despite the praise and high sales for its SUVs and compact cars, Honda is still trying to make a name for itself in the pick-up segment. While its presence isn't as extensive as other manufacturers, Honda does offer a pickup truck that could be a perfect fit for many car buyers.
