The 2020 Honda Ridgeline offers a combination of utility, power, and comfort. This midsize pickup truck provides a fuel-efficient engine, upscale amenities, a spacious and comfortable cabin, and a durable and practical truck bed. You can opt from four trims with the Ridgeline, namely Sport, RTL, RTL-E, and Black Edition. Here’s some more information on this functional yet modern truck.
-
Capable and Fuel-Efficient Engine
All Ridgeline trims are powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that’s mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission to produce a respectable output of 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive optional on the Sport and RTL trims, while the two higher trims come standard with an all-wheel-drive system. This engine delivers excellent fuel efficiency ratings; in fact, it’s the most fuel-efficient six-cylinder in its class. If you want the maximum tow capacity of 5,000 pounds from your Ridgeline, opt for an all-wheel-drive model.

Durable and Functional Bed
The Ridgeline comes with a composite truck bed that’s also UV-stabilized and scratch-resistant. For maximum hauling capability, the bed has been designed with minimum wheel-well housings. The standard dual-action gate provides increased functionality by either opening down for conventional loading or sidewise when you need convenient access to the in-bed trunk. As the lockable 7.3 cubic feet in-bed trunk comes with a drain plug, you can use it as an ice chest or as a storage place for wet gear.
For maximum security, pair the available hard tonneau cover with the lockable tailgate feature, which will provide you with the peace of mind that your cargo is protected and safe. You can also equip the bed with an available power outlet near the rear end of the truck, which will enable you to power tools, boil a kettle, or even plug in a TV.

Spacious and Comfortable Cabin
The cabin of the Ridgeline is one of the most upscale and comfortable in its class. Both rows offer supportive seats and ample headroom and legroom for up to five passengers. Thanks to the 60/40-split lift-up rear seats, the cabin is also versatile. The standard under-seat storage space and roomy center console also provide convenient storage areas for smaller items.
The base trim is well-equipped with features such as quality cloth upholstery, push-button start, cruise control, a rear-window defroster, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Higher trims add nice-to-have features such as heated front seats, leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and ambient lighting.

Modern Technology
The Ridgeline boasts impressive standard technology and safety features. With the standard infotainment system comes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, seven speakers, Bluetooth, and an 8-inch display. You can also upgrade with available features such as a truck-bed audio system, SiriusXM, HD Radio, and navigation. In addition, all Ridgeline trims are equipped with the Honda Sensing Suite, which consists of advanced driver-assist features that include a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward-collision warning, and lane-departure warning.
The Ridgeline offers a tantalizing combination of functionality, efficiency, safety, and comfort. To see for yourself what this capable truck has to offer, pop by Southern Motors Honda and take one for a test drive.
