Yep.

Based on the same global platform that gives us the Accord, the
Pilot/MDX, and the Odyssey minivan.

When it starts out life like that, there's not much you can do to
overcome the necessary compromises that leave it NOT a truck in the same
mold as a Ford F150, for example.

Too many things that make that platform suitable for an Accord can't be
overcome to make a real truck.
