the courier looks like a Honda Ridgeline, what we call a "Caruck" basically a car based truck
People love those ridgelines.... so maybe there is a place in the world for a new "courier" type caruck
I know kia/hyundai are coming out with one. would make sense to have a competitor to those vehicles. and they are pushing the whole SUV/Truck line up, and the only "car" they will have is the mustang.
I personally almost never tow, and when I do, it's a 4x6 little tiny trailer, just big enough for a dirt bike/quad. My truck is mostly a commuter car when I cannot take the bus into work. it does some off road duty, mostly to take me to my favorite shooting spot, and haul stuff home from the home improvement store. If the courier is available with at least... 12" of ground clearance, and 31" tires (or can have them added without modification), a really good awd system, and tow say 4500-5000lbs, and get north of 20mpg highway, and all that cost around $25k? I would probably have one in my driveway. I'm sure it will cost $30k, have 6-8" of clearance and max out at 28" tires tho... which will make me a bit sad.
