trong, tough and original. That's Ridgeline. And it's anything but ordinary.
Unique in So Many Ways
Distinguishing features define its character, from the masculine lines and grille, fog lights (Sport and RTL) and
18-inch alloy wheels (Sport and RTL), to its useful
dual-action tailgate and industry-first
Lockable In-Bed Trunk®.
Bring it
All models have a standard Class III trailer hitch, an
integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction and a
Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) cargo bed.
The Ridgeline handles heavy-duty work and play in a smooth and civilized way.
Unmistakable Drive
Enjoy the Ride
The Power of Technology
With a reinforced, rigid unit-body, six standard airbags and
sophisticated stability systems, the Ridgeline is serious about safety.
Systems for Safety
Every Ridgeline has advanced safety systems to help keep you out of trouble and in command.
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)[1] with Traction Control
helps keep drivers in control in the event of an oversteer or
understeer. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) along with Brake Assist
and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) help you bring everything to a
stop. And should your tire's air pressure reach a significantly low
level, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will let you know.
Sturdy Structure
Designed for enhanced crash protection, the Ridgeline has a tough backbone that incorporates an integrated closed-box frame and a reinforced unit body.
Airbags Abound
While sharing our roads with many
other drivers, a time may come when a collision is unavoidable. For
superior defense during impact, Ridgeline occupants are surrounded by no
less than six airbags. The array of coverage includes dual-stage,
multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side
Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), and side curtain airbags
with a rollover sensor?all standard.
Honda's Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone?that means crash protection not only for our
own drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants, and injury mitigation for
pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help
enhance the safety of vehicles on the road.
The Ridgeline has plenty of power to get the job done. And since it's a Honda, it'll be with you for the long haul.
Call It Rigid
The Ridgeline has an ultra-rigid unit-body that's reinforced with an
integrated closed-box frame.
This tow-friendly approach gives the Ridgeline extraordinary torsional
rigidity, and helps the frame fight twisting during the stress of
hauling, towing or off-road driving.
Serious Towing
All models come with an integrated
Class III trailer hitch. There's also a standard high-capacity radiator
with dual 160-watt fans, a heavy-duty power-steering fluid cooler, a
high-capacity ATF cooler, and, on the RTS and RTL, a trailer harness (RT
and Sport are pre-wired for a trailer harness). Large brake rotors at
all four wheels and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) help ensure
quick and deliberate stops when it matters most.
Power Under the Hood
A
3.5-liter, VTEC® V-6 engine
with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque gives the Ridgeline optimum power
and efficiency. An innovative two-stage intake manifold and a
high-mounted fresh-air intake system provide power when you need it,
with high-end horsepower and low-end torque even during extreme towing
conditions. The fresh-air intake draws air from the top of the front
grille to protect against dust and water intrusion during launches.

Handle It All
Equipped with a
Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC)
cargo bed, the Ridgeline is specially designed to take your abuse. Its
5-ft bed allows for a thick stack of 4' x 8' plywood sheets to lie flat
between the wheelwells and 8 heavy-duty tie-down cleats secure up to
1,100 lbs of cargo. When you need to tow, the Ridgeline cooperates. A
high-output V-6 engine and 4WD system work in perfect unison to pull
5,000 lbs of just about anything you put behind it.
Brains and Brawn
This truck is every bit as smart as it is tough. Well-designed storage spaces, including the 8.5-cu ft, hidden,
lockable In-Bed Trunk®
keep toolboxes or other large-size gear secure. Ingenious features like
a dual-action tailgate give you the flexibility to unload the bed
contents in whichever way makes the most sense.
Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) Cargo Bed
The bed in the Ridgeline has a
Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) material that's both lighter and
stronger than steel. Plus, it's resistant to dents and gouges. Steel
crossmembers underneath the bed maintain integrity to combat the stress
of heavy loads.
Cargo Flexibility
The SRC cargo bed provides
unmatched flexibility, capability and durability. Its 5-ft length
approaches that of other full-size crew-cab truck beds, and its 49
1/2-in width between wheelwells is wider than other trucks in its class.
Because the wheel arches barely intrude into the bed, a large ATV, two
motorcycles or a thick stack of 4-ft sheets of plywood can easily fit.
Cargo lights and 8 heavy-duty tie-down cleats make loading simple.
Dual-Action Tailgate
The unique
dual-action tailgate
combines the strength of a conventional truck tailgate with
unparalleled flexibility and user-friendliness. It can be swung open
like a door, allowing easy access to the bed contents, or it can be
lowered like a conventional tailgate. The 300-lb dynamic-load capacity
can safely support the weight of most large loads such as motorcycles
and ATVs.
