The truck was completely redesigned for 1961 with a wider look, and unibody trucks were built with an integrated cab and box from 1961-63. 1964 saw a return to the traditional separate cab and bed arrangement.
Not the same as the Honda, but Ford tried it............
A unibody is far stronger in a acident then a body/frame.
Honda wanted a light weight truck, not easy to do with frame/body construction.(Ridgeline is 4500 lbs) Also not to compete with whats all ready on the market, but fill in a huge whole in the market.
Tundra can't touch the MPG the Honda gets. Honda ca't come close to tow what the Tundra pulls. Tundra is a 4X4 while Honda is a FWD with rear assist (AWD acting)
Again, for the PRICE the Honda can't be beat. Don't believe me ??? Spend a weekend in one and you will come to the light !! LOL

I'm just saying that the same definition for unibody doesn't apply, since the El Camino and Ranchero had a separate ladder frame, and the Ridgeline does not.
