So I was on the autoshow floor today. I went searching for payload information.New Honda Ridgeline - 1323 lbsCanyon Crew Cab Longbox Duramax - 1313 lbsNissan Titan XD Cummins - 1377 and 1598 lbsToyota Tacoma - 1000 lbs2017 Superduty - No tire stickerThey were focusing on the 7 cameras for the Superduty. They have spots marked to stand on and will use your phone to take a selfie of you on the inside screen. What a great marketing technique. The tailgate will lower automatically. However, I almost needed both hands to close. I know that would not be good in my family.The layout is all new for the show. Interesting setup. I could not get close to the new Chrysler Pacifica minivan. There are some wonderful vehicles out there!

The Pacifica hybrid is really interesting. I think I read it had a 30 mile electric range which would really cut down on gas usage in an around town usage situation.

I wish they would focus on reliability instead of gadgets. I Don't need 7 cameras but would like a Diesel motor that would go 350k miles without needing replaced.I guess I'm in the minority.

Thought Honda was doing away w/ the Ridgeline?

I've seen a couple driving around that are covered up so really can't see much but it does look more like a pick up than the old one. If I can close enough to one I'll get some pictures.

Going Sunday or Monday. Hope to get some pics of the new Nissan pick up.

Is this a bait and hook moment?

I didn't know the Canyon had that much capacity. That makes me even more interested as I love the idea of a little diesel...
I looked at one on the dealer lot when I bought my new truck and they look real nice- and there are a ton of aftermarket goodies out for them already!
