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.
