The people who tow or haul for a living are not in the demographic that Honda was aiming for. They did not intend to build a vehicle that will tow 20K pounds or haul a ton of gravel in the bed. Their vehicle is intended to drive like a car, while having a bit more carrying capacity for somebody who wants to occasionally take out their dirt bikes or spend a couple days camping out of a tent. I like to see companies take some chances on new ideas when the idea is appropriate. In the case of the Honda Ridgeline, it is.
In the case of the Titan, I think the rear-quarter storage and tie-down systems would be great additions to a heavy hauler like any of the Big 3's diesel trucks. I know there would be many details to work out, by why completely dismiss the idea from the outset?
