2020 Honda Ridgeline trims

2020 Ridgeline

The Ridgeline gets a few notable enhancements for the 2020 model year. The Ridgeline now comes standard with Honda Sensing, a technology suite that includes several safety and convenience features such as a lane-keep assist function, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning and a collision mitigation braking system. Under the hood, the Ridgeline is also improved. Gone is the old 6-speed automatic transmission, which has been replaced by a new 9-speed automatic, which should add just a little bit of extra efficiency while also providing more precise gear ratios to help the Ridgeline feel a bit faster.

In addition, plenty of new technology has made its way to the inside of the truck, with the 2017 Ridgeline offering more amenities and more utility than the truck it replaces.

About Ridgeline

An unorthodox entrant intro the mid-sized truck category, the Honda Ridgeline production vehicle arrived for the 2006 model year based on a 2004 concept. Constructed on a similar platform as the Honda Pilot crossover, the Ridgeline received a squarer, tougher-looking exterior appearance to complement the trucks enriched utility potential. Featuring a four-door cab layout, the Ridgeline featured a 1,100-pound capacity 5-foot bed. Overall payload capacity of the 2006 Honda Ridgeline was rated at 1,500 pounds. A dual-action tailgate as well as 8.5 cubic feet of enclosed storage found with an in-bed truck was also components to the 2006 Honda Ridgeline. A 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine provided propulsion for the Variable Torque Management 4-wheel drive system equipped standard on the Ridgeline. Boasting medium duty off-road capacity, the 2006 Ridgeline could also tow up to 5,000 pounds. Four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system and Hondas Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control was presented as standard safety equipment on the sport utility truck. Providing seating for five passengers inside its cabin, the Ridgeline was equipped with air conditioning, keyless entry, power windows and a stereo system with CD player as standard equipment. From 2006 to 2009, the Honda Ridgeline was offered in RT, RTS, RTL and RTX trim levels. For 2009, the Honda Ridgeline began to wear a grille similar to the one adorning the Pilot crossover. A standard trailer hitch was one of 50 upgrades mentioned as part of the revised Ridgeline for 2009. Providing a slightly difficult personality for the Ridgeline, 2012 introduced a Sport model equipped with a blacked-out grille and 18-inch alloy wheels. After the 2014 model year, Honda put production of the Ridgeline on hiatus expressing a desire to manufacture a similar truck-like vehicle in the near future.
