What the Critics Say

There’s one more advantage: with 50.0 inches between its bed’s wheel wells, the Ridgeline is the only mid-size pickup that can fit a sheet of four-by-eight-foot building material flat on the bed floor. Clever features continue inside. The rear seat splits 60/40 and, when flipped up, provides room to fit a full-size bicycle.” — Car and Driver
High-quality materials line the spacious cabin. The seat bottoms fold up and away, helping to increase space beyond what competitors can offer. Adding to the practicality equation, a clever tailgate that can drop down or swing open makes loading and unloading easier. Roomy and maneuverable, the Ridgeline is a great lifestyle truck.” — MotorTrend

Honda Ridgeline Features

Honda Ridgeline Bed

Versatile Truck Bed

Pushing the limits of what a pickup truck can do, every aspect of the Honda Ridgeline was carefully considered to expand your possibilities. The standard, class-exclusive In-Bed Trunk offers 7.3 cubic feet of secure storage space along with a drain plug for quick water removal and easy cleaning. A Dual-Action Tailgate opens either to the side or straight down for hauling large, flat items such as sheets of plywood. An available Truck-Bed Audio System features 6 exciters in the truck bed walls that allow for maximum sound along with Bluetooth® compatibility for complete control via your smartphone. 8 heavy-duty truck bed tie-down cleats rated up to 350 lbs help ensure your cargo stays safe and secure.

Honda Ridgeline Performance

Performance & Capability

Not only does the standard 3.5-liter i-VTEC® direct injection V6 engine provide plenty of muscle for rough terrain, it also gives the Honda Ridgeline up to 1,583 lbs of total payload capacity and 5,000 lbs of towing capacity. A fully independent multi-link rear suspension and rigid lightweight unibody design give the Ridgeline a composed ride on the highway without sacrificing off-road capability. The standard Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4™) AWD system comes in handy when the asphalt ends and the trail begins. With dedicated terrain settings for snow, mud, or sand — the Intelligent Traction Management system in the Ridgeline can adapt to the conditions for the utmost control in tricky situations.
