2009 Honda Ridgeline
The Ridgeline midsize pickup gets new exterior and interior styling for 2009, as well as more power and new features. Revisions have been made to the grille and bumpers, and the headlights and taillights have new color combinations. On the inside, the Ridgeline has new “three-dimensional-style” gauges, a revised steering wheel, and different buttons and controls. Models with the navigation system gain Honda’s HandsFreeLink Bluetooth hands-free cell phone link and a rearview camera. Under the hood, the 3.5-liter V-6 engine gains 3 hp up to 250, and 2 lb.-ft. of torque for a total of 247. Honda also says the torque curve is broader and the transmission has lower gear ratios for improved low-end power. Also new for 2009 are active front head restraints and a standard trailer tow hitch. Last year’s RTX model is no longer offered.
