Honda Ridgeline Features

Performance & Capability
The perfect tool for both work and play, the Honda Ridgeline is powered by a standard 280-horsepower 3.5-liter i-VTECĀ® direct injection V6 engine that boasts the muscle to get the job done. This robust powertrain also boasts up to 5,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity along with up to 1,583 pounds of max payload capacity. Ready to adapt to the surface both on and off the road, the Ridgeline is engineered with a high-strength yet lightweight unibody design along with a fully independent multi-link rear suspension. Its standard Intelligent Variable Torque Management⢠(i-VTM4ā¢) AWD system can react at a moment’s notice to imperfections in the terrain or when wheel slippage is detected. Ridgeline drivers can also adapt to the current conditions by using individual drive modes like snow, sand, or mud in the Intelligent Traction Management system

Versatile Truck Bed
Packed with forward-thinking features not found on the competition, the Honda Ridgeline offers plenty of versatility both inside and out. It all starts with its clever In-Bed Trunk that touts 7.3 cubic feet of extra cargo space and a useful drain plug that makes clean-up a breeze. Transporting large or flat cargo such as a sheet of plywood is nearly effortless thanks to the standard Dual-Action Tailgate of the Ridgeline that can open conventionally or to the side. Youāll also find a total of 8 heavy-duty tie-down cleats inside the bed, each rated for up to 350 pounds to keep your cargo safe and secure. Crank up your favorite tunes at your next tailgate party with the available Truck-Bed Audio System on the Ridgeline, featuring BluetoothĀ® compatibility that helps you control the music directly from your compatible smartphone.

Ergonomic Interior
Balancing comfort with usability, the premium cabin of the Honda Ridgeline delivers plenty of space for up to 5 with impressive total passenger volume measurements. Different from other midsize pickups, the Ridgeline is loaded with revolutionary tech features that help you enjoy all of your favorite apps and media on the way to your destination. Those in search of a more upscale in-cabin experience can opt for optional leather-trimmed seating surfaces along with a heated steering wheel. Great for transporting large items like camping equipment or a mountain bike, standard 60/40 Split Lift-Up rear seats expand your cargo-carrying options. Optional Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control is perfect for keeping everyone comfortable on your next weekend getaway.

Advanced Safety
Driving a Honda Ridgeline means that you and your passengers will remain protected at all times thanks to the standard Honda SensingĀ® collection of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Available features include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS).
