Honda Ridgeline Overview

The four-door, five-passenger Ridgeline is available in four trim levels: RT, Sport, RTS and RTL. All are powered by a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission; Honda's Variable Torque Management four-wheel drive system (VTM-4) and a limited-slip lockable rear differential are also standard. A trailer hitch is standard on all trim levels, rated for a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds. Trim-dependent equipment includes a power moonroof, aluminum wheels, heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control and satellite radio, while the RTL can also be outfitted with an optional voice-activated navigation system, including rearview camera and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink wireless connectivity. Standard safety features include Vehicle Stability Assist with integrated traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, front side-impact airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, active anti-whiplash front head restraints and a tire pressure monitor.

The Honda Ridgeline is refreshed for 2012, with updated styling and improved fuel economy. Additionally, a new Sport trim debuts, featuring exclusive elements that include a black honeycomb grille and 18-inch black aluminum wheels, as well as blacked out headlight and taillight housings.
