Enhanced Performance Capabilities for Every Task

The 3.5-liter V-6 engine of the Ridgeline delivers a powerful 280 horsepower. It's mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which makes it perfect for both tough jobs and fun adventures. You can tow up to 5,000 pounds, and it comes with a built-in Class III trailer hitch ready to roll. Plus, it's pretty fuel-efficient, hitting 24 mpg on the highway.

Innovative Cargo and Utility Features

The Ridgeline is packed with impressive cargo features for work or play. Its tailgate can drop or slide sideways for easy loading. The lockable in-bed trunk offers 7.3 cubic feet of weatherproof storage. The bed's about 64 inches long with the tailgate up, stretching to 83 inches when down, and it's roughly 50-60 inches wide. It provides 33.9 cubic feet of space and can handle around 1,500 to 1,580 pounds. Perfect for tools or camping gear, this truck has a scratch-proof surface, heavy-duty tie-downs, and can carry a 4x8 sheet flat, making it a true workhorse.

Advanced All-Wheel Drive System for Versatile Performance

It's also worth noting that the Ridgeline performs well. Its i-VTM4 AWD system is standard on all models, boosting performance for different driving conditions. You get four drive modes — Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud — which is pretty handy. Plus, the rear-axle torque vectoring gives you better grip on a variety of terrains. If you're into off-road adventures, the TrailSport trim takes it up a notch with tuned suspension, 245/60 18-inch all-terrain tires, and other trail-ready features.

On the tech side, it has a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Some trims come with standard wireless charging. There are also several USB-C ports for your devices, and a Wi-Fi hot spot with HondaLink lets you remote start, lock or unlock doors, and check the vehicle.
