It’s the first and foremost reason to shop for a truck: You need a machine that can overcome the demands of work and obstacles both on and off the road. The rugged Ridgeline flourishes in this regard, granting you intensity that’s ready to unleash at your command.
Underneath the hood, the Ridgeline has plenty of strength ready to be unleashed. Its 3.5L V6 engine is ready to tackle whatever stands ahead of you. It generates 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque to surmount whatever you come across.
This massive energy is harnessed by the 9-speed automatic transmission. It also includes paddle shifters for a more engaging and dynamic shift. If you find steep inclines, standard Hill Start Assist will be there to help launch you.
When you’re heading off the pavement and onto the dirt, you’ll need a dynamic drivetrain to handle the unpredictability. Thanks to standard all-wheel drive, you can count on the Ridgeline to conquer whatever is out there. You’ll also have the capability of Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ to shift strength where it’s required.
Conditions can change at any moment, and the Ridgeline is ready to help you overcome it all. The standard Intelligent Traction Management system lets you adjust the performance of your truck to suit the situation. The four standard modes will have you ready for anything:
Anything can happen while you’re out and about, so it’s important to be prepared. The engineers at Honda know how much you value safety, so they’ve equipped the Ridgeline with a myriad of systems to support you.
The Ridgeline comes standard with Honda Sensing®, a suite of driver-assistive technologies that act as an intelligent copilot. Using various sensors and on-board computing, these systems alert you when potential threats arise, giving you an advantage when the unexpected happens.
Whether you’re in highway traffic or off on the dirt, these safety features will always have your back:
There’s more to the Ridgeline beyond its robust driver assistance. The standard multi-angle rearview camera gives an expansive look behind your truck when backing into a spot. It even has dynamic guidelines to show where you’re angled.
If you’re taking your Ridgeline into the city, the available parking sensors will help you confidently fit into tight spots. It uses two sensors in the front bumper and four in the rear to let you know how close you are to other objects.
Just because there’s work to get done doesn’t mean fun is off the table. You’ll find plenty of features in the Ridgeline designed to make you comfortable and keep you entertained throughout your entire workday or during your road trip.
When you have messages to keep up with and calls to make, the Ridgeline makes it all easier for you. Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make keeping up with your day-to-day easier by bringing your apps, contacts, and more to the centrally located screen. The 9-inch touch display is your gateway to all the infotainment you need.
If you’re going to be out for a while, the convenient wireless phone charger helps your device stay at 100% battery. The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ is a great addition when it’s time to find food, fuel, or a place to rest for the night.
The driver’s seat is key to your smooth travel, and the Ridgeline features many improvements to help you stay comfortable. Available features to enhance the front seat include:
During chilly morning drives, you can stay cozy with the available heated steering wheel. Rear outboard passengers can also stay toasty with available heated seats as well.
When you’re traveling off the beaten path and looking to stay connected to your home base, your truck will have a lot to live up to. The Ridgeline has more standard power and features to help you keep up with those demands, making it a trusted partner compared to the Ford Ranger.
