Capability

Equipped for the Challenge
The Ridgeline dominates on and off the road with an available i-VTM4® AWD system, a 280-horsepower* V-6 engine capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds** and a scratch-resistant truck bed for all your gear.***
*280 hp @ 6000 rpm (SAE net)
**Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 lbs. Towing requires accessory towing equipment. Please see your Honda dealer for details.
***Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect the handling, stability and operation of this vehicle. Follow applicable load limits and loading guidelines.

All-Wheel Drive
The i-VTM4® AWD system works with Intelligent Traction Management, which includes three unique modes for tackling snow, sand and mud.

Intelligent Traction Management
The Ridgeline is ready for a variety of terrains. The Intelligent Traction Management system lets you select between four modes: Normal, Snow, Sand and Mud. Just push a button and explore.

Tested Tough
We pushed the all-wheel-drive system to the limit at the Automotive Enviro Testing (AET) facility in Baudette, Minnesota—home to some of the most severe weather in America. From freezing temperatures to harsh terrain, the Ridgeline can perform almost anywhere you take it.

Independent Suspension System
The fully independent front and rear suspensions ensure a better handle on the road to make your drive as smooth as possible. That means even when the road is rough, you'll be riding in more comfort and control than you might in other trucks.

Unibody Construction
The Ridgeline is unique among pickup trucks for its smooth-riding unibody cab and bed, with an integrated frame that's stronger than conventional body-on-frame designs. Approximately 45% of the body and frame uses special high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel that adds rigidity without undue weight. It also offers better driving characteristics and improved isolation from wind noise and vibration.

Dual-Action Tailgate
The dual-action tailgate opens down for conventional bed loading or to the side for convenient access to the In-Bed Trunk®.

Lockable In-Bed Trunk®
The lockable, 7.3 cubic foot In-Bed Trunk® includes a drain plug, so you can use it as an ice chest or a place to store wet gear without compromising bed utility.

Lay-Flat Truck Bed
The bed of the Ridgeline was designed with minimal wheelwell housings to help maximize space, whether you're hauling off-road toys or 4-by-8-foot sheets of plywood.*
*Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect the handling, stability and operation of this vehicle. Follow applicable load limits and loading guidelines.

Truck-Bed Power Outlet
An available 150-watt/400-watt truck-bed outlet in the wall of the bed allows you to plug power tools or a TV right into the truck.

Lockable Tailgate
Help keep your valuables protected in the truck bed by pairing the available hard truck bed cover with the lockable tailgate feature.

Composite Truck Bed
The standard UV-stabilized, scratch-resistant bed helps protect your truck from dings and scrapes, so it can handle even the toughest loads.

280-hp V-6 Engine
Hit the ground running with a powerful 280-horsepower,* direct-injection engine that provides passing power, towing capacity and impressive efficiency.**
*280 hp @ 6000 rpm (SAE net)

Roof Rails with Crossbars
Whether you want to take your snowboard to the mountains, bike to the trail or surfboard to the ocean, this aerodynamic setup fits all Honda roof rack accessories.

Black Running Boards
The black running boards add a rugged look to your Ridgeline. Made from durable die-cast aluminum, the step features a nonslip coating for safer entry and exit.*

Kayak Attachment
Mount your kayak securely on your roof with the kayak attachment. The soft, adjustable saddles firmly cradle the kayak while the reinforced straps allow for lateral stability.

Bed Extender
Because you always end up needing more cargo space, Honda offers a bed extender that increases capacity. The bed extender gives the Ridgeline an extra 16 inches of storage for a total maximum cargo length of 76 inches.* It's a great alternative to making extra trips or leaving things behind.
*Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect the handling, stability and operation of this vehicle. Follow applicable load limits and loading guidelines.

Cargo Net
Easy to install and easy to use, the cargo net helps keep items from sliding* around in the In-Bed Trunk®.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
ACC helps you maintain a set following interval behind a detected vehicle for highway driving. If the detected vehicle slows to a stop, ACC is designed to slow and stop your vehicle as well. After stopping, a tap on the throttle instructs the car to continue maintaining the desired interval.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
With your hands on the steering wheel, long highway drives are easier with LKAS, which subtly adjusts steering to help keep the vehicle centered in a detected lane.
