I can't in good conscience allow myself to call the Ridgeline a pickup since it's platform is Accord-based, but if I did call it a pickup, it would trump the Tundra in ugliness. Though, I will admit, I do like the dual-action tailgate.
Never saw an Accord with a ladder chassis like that before... It's a semi-unit chassis, with the ladder frame welded to the outer box, and only engine and drivetrain mounting points shared with an Accord, and then only superficially.
Wonder where some people get their information?
As for me, not really a fan of most modern pickups for looks, but love them for their ability. I love the classics, like a late '60s Chevy:
I also love old Datsun Bulletsides:

I never said they were the same exact chassis. I said "based on." If you follow the lineage, it ends up at the Accord, though admittedly, just barely. The Ridgeline is much more closely related to an Accord than say a Chevy Colorado is related to an Impala. But that's all semantics anyhow. This thread is about what people think are the best-looking and worst-looking pickups out there and whether you call it a pickup or a boat or whatever, the Ridgeline is still butt-ugly in my book.

The 1967-1972 and 1973-1979 Ford f-series pickups are the best looking.
ONE OF MY 72 FORD F250. Since this picture was taken it has been under going a complete redo. Yes certainly in older trucks this is one of the best designs;

Besides, the titan gets much worse gas than the Chevy
