About the Honda Ridgeline
The Honda Ridgeline is a unique model in the pickup truck market. Introduced in 2005, the Ridgeline was Honda's first foray into the pickup truck market. Rather than a traditional body-on-frame construction, the Ridgeline utilized a unibody platform derived from the Honda Pilot and Odyssey.
This unconventional approach—along with independent rear suspension—gave it car-like driving dynamics, uncommon among trucks. Despite initial skepticism, the first-generation Ridgeline carved out a niche by offering innovative features such as lockable in-bed trunk and dual-action tailgate.
After a brief hiatus, the second-generation Ridgeline debuted in 2017, building on the original's strengths with a more powerful V6 engine, higher towing capacity, and updated styling and tech features.
