Are you looking for a new pickup truck and want something that can get you around town in Germantown, MD during the week and then on the weekend, hit the trail? The 2026 Honda Ridgeline is the truck you're looking for.
It's a midsize truck that gives you a combination of performance, comfort, advanced technology, and plenty of room for cargo. Once you see the Ridgeline and know what it can do, you'll see that it outclasses most other midsized trucks on the road.
A Capable Engine and Proven AWD Performance
The 2026 Ridgeline is powered by a 280-hp, 3.5L direct-injection V-6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. That powertrain gives you 262 pound-feet of torque and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs, giving it the ability to tow boats, trailers, or equipment.
The i-VTM4 AWD system works alongside Intelligent Traction Management to help you handle snow, sand, mud, and normal driving conditions. The TrailSport trim takes it further with an off-road tuned suspension, retuned springs and dampers, and standard all-terrain tires for serious trail performance.
The Ridgeline's unibody construction - using approximately 45% high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel - delivers a smoother ride than traditional body-on-frame designs.
Innovative Cargo Solutions That Set It Apart
One of the most distinctive features of the 2026 Ridgeline is its lockable In-Bed Trunk, which holds 7.3 cu ft and includes a drain plug so it can double as an ice chest or wet gear storage. The dual-action tailgate swings open to the side or folds down conventionally, giving you flexible access depending on how you're loading up.
The lay-flat truck bed is designed with minimal wheelwell housing to maximize hauling space, if you're transporting 4-by-8-foot sheets of plywood or off-road toys. An available truck-bed power outlet gives you up to 400 watts for tools or electronics right at the job site.
Technology and Connectivity on Every Trim
Inside, the 2026 Ridgeline keeps you connected and comfortable. Every trim includes a 9-in touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Standard wireless phone charging, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, and remote engine start add everyday convenience.
Available features include a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with 3-D terrain renderings, and the Black Edition trim adds a 540-watt, 8-speaker premium audio system for the ultimate in-cab experience. The HondaLink app keeps ownership simple by helping you schedule service and access roadside assistance.
Honda Sensing Safety Suite - Standard Across All Trims
Safety is built into every version of the 2026 Honda Ridgeline through the standard Honda Sensing suite. This includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist System. A standard rearview camera with dynamic guidelines makes trailer hookups easier, while the available blind spot information system and cross traffic monitor provide added awareness in traffic.
A Trim for Every Driver
The 2026 Honda Ridgeline lineup ranges from the Sport trim up through the RTL, TrailSport, TrailSport with HPD Wheels, Black Edition, and Black Edition Two-Tone. Each builds on the last with upgrades like leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a one-touch power moonroof, and distinctive exterior styling cues.
