The 2018 Honda Ridgeline’s engine and drivetrain are the foundations of its utility, and it’s not hard to see why! Every Ridgeline trim comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine and 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC, as well as variable cylinder management and an active control engine mount system, which together help this pickup to produce 280 hp and up to 262 lb-ft of torque. What’s more, as with many of the Ridgeline’s performance-enhancing technology features, snow-ready intelligent traction management comes standard right from the start.
By upgrading to the Sport trim level or higher, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the available Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel drive system, which comes standard on the upper-level RTL-E and Black Edition trims. Those who do opt for this upgrade will be able to utilize their Intelligent traction management in sandy and muddy environments, too. A 6-speed manual transmission comes standard in all six of the Ridgeline’s trims, and in the RTL-E and Black Edition models, it’s been outfitted with a heavy-duty transmission cooler that will let you work harder for longer.
Additional Ridgeline standard features like unit-body construction, MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and 18-inch alloy wheels allow drivers to take full advantage of this pickup’s exceptional drivetrain. On top of all this, it’s worth noting that the Ridgeline has what it takes to traverse any off-road path that catches your eye: 2WD models offer 7.28 inches of unladen ground clearance, while AWD models offer 7.87 inches of the same.
There’s no point in buying a powerful pickup truck that can’t haul cargo, though of course, the Ridgeline has impressive capacities in this regard as well. Standard front and rear stabilizer bars make the Ridgeline well-equipped for towing jobs, and when you’re on the jobsite, you’ll be able to pull up to 3,500 pounds in 2WD models and up to 5,000 pounds in AWD models! Of course, not every job calls for the use of a trailer hitch, and more often than not, you’ll be able to find the utility you’re looking for in the Ridgeline’s innovative cargo bed.
The latter, which measures 64×50 inches, can handle a maximum payload that varies among trim levels, but never falls short of 1,465 pounds. With 33.9 cubic feet of cargo bed storage and 7.3 cubic feet of volume in the Ridgeline’s in-bed trunk, you’ll have the space and versatility you’ll need to transport an enormous variety of cargo. A dual-action tailgate, truck bed lights, and eight heavy-duty truck bed tie-down cleats, it’s easy to load up and secure even the bulkiest, most unwieldly equipment.
The Ridgeline is available with dozens of interior, exterior, and electronic accessories, and potential buyers are encouraged to explore them all! To help you get started, we’ve chosen to highlight a few options that are sure to be of interest to folks who want to maximize their pickup’s utility.
