Yes, the Denali is indeed gorgeous!
However, I think the stubby, snub-nosed
Toyota Tundra is much uglier than the Subaru.

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;
Looks good and build up a stout 514/521 or even a 545 /557 385 series monster if you want to have serious fun and something that can tow anything.

I hated the new Tundra when it came out in late 2006 as a new 2007 model... I hated that grill, but it has grown on me... so much so that may be my next truck. Its funny this is sometimes the case with me (and many others)... you start out hating a new design change, but it starts to grow on you... SOMETIMES, LOL.
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.
I agree ti's butt ugly, but, looking at the chassis pictures, the conclusion you came to ABOUT the chassis, in thet it's ONLY just a car chassis, is mistaken. Period. I agree it's less than pretty, but it's still got a ladder frame under it and none of the under panels came from an accord. Just some mounting pints for the drivetrain.
It'd be like saying the F150 is basically just a Mustang, as it has a live axle and the mounting points for the same engine.

And that's your OPINION So not worth arguing. Chevy's are butt ugly as well. The new RAM and the Titan at least show some aggression and advancement in the truck world.

And that's your OPINION I prefer the last gen Ram and the Titan has always been horrible to look at, as well as its twins the Armanda and the Infiniti QX56

I still NEVER said it was JUST a car chassis. Give it up. You can't read my posts. Move along.

I'm a die hard Chevy/GM fan and as much as I really do like the looks of the current GMC Sierras, the current Silverados just don't do anything for me at all. The Titan isn't a bad looking truck to me either, but not good enough to make me want one. I've loved the styling of the Dodge trucks since they went "big rig" in '94, but their just not very comfortable for me in SLT or lower trim. You have to get into the high-dollar Laramie trim to get comfortable seats.
Really, the current Tundra is the only fullsize truck I have an aversion to. The previous Tundras weren't bad looking, but these new ones...meh...no thanks.
I am building an 86 F350 for the towing duty. 455 Pontiac that made 690hp and 644 tq with CV-1 heads, a seriously modified AOD trans, and since the body is junk ( guy efore me laid it over on the side) and I have a perfect 91 Dodge body, I am using it. iT'll be an alien truck that will pull anything I want it too. So far it is getting 18-19 mpg at 70 mph with 3.55 rear and short 215/75/16.5 tires. I am switching to a 235/85/16 tire on back this weekend. Towing the gooseneck with a car on it the truck has been about 13.3 to 13.5 mpg at 70 mph on a 400 mile trip.

This statement you made is factually wrong. Period.
[quote] since it's platform is Accord-based [./quote]
It is NOT Accord based it shares mounting points for the engine and transmission, but that' snot "based" on the platform. The conclusion you are drawing is that it is simply a lifted Accord. Admit it, that's what you thought before I initially corrected you and now you are just backpedaling.
