Looking for a pickup that isn't too big, too thirsty, too clumsy, and too expensive, yet still brings serious strength and ruggedness? The 2025 Honda Ridgeline delivers.
Brawny Engine
The Ridgeline makes easy work of whatever task you throw at it thanks to its responsive 280-HP 3.5-liter V6 that produces up to 280 HP with up to 262 lb-ft of torque. It delivers confident performance with a refined, linear response, allowing it to overtake with ease and tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is perfect for pulling midsize campers, boats, and trailers. And with up to 24 MPG on the highway, it's not unfriendly at the pump, either.
Impressive Cargo Bed
The Ridgeline allows you to make good use of its nearly 1,600-pound payload capacity with a thoughtfully designed cargo bed. With minimal wheelwell intrusion, it maximizes space, easily accommodating full 4-by-8-foot sheets of plywood flat on the floor. A lockable 7.3-cubic-foot in-bed trunk with a drain plug provides convenient storage space for wet items, while the UV-stabilized, scratch-resistant bed lets you haul rough cargo stress-free. Other niceties include an available 400-watt outlet and a dual-action tailgate with lockable storage.
Car-like Dynamics
Unlike other trucks, which utilize a body-on-frame construction, thus causing the typical clumsiness associated with pickups, the Ridgeline comes with a unibody construction, as found in cars, where the body and frame are integrated into a singular structure. The resulting enhanced structural rigidity improves balance while reducing body roll, thus allowing the Ridgeline to enjoy nimble handling and confident cornering.
And for enhanced ride comfort, it again deviates from typical truck protocol when it comes to the suspension. Instead of using the traditional leaf-spring, solid-axle setup, it employs an independent multi-link rear suspension, again, as found in cars. This allows it to soak up road imperfections gracefully, delivering a silky-smooth ride at all times.
All-Terrain Prowess
The Ridgeline continues to impress even when you go off the beaten path, thanks to its standard advanced all-wheel-drive system that intelligently adapts to different types of surfaces. The TrailSport trim, in particular, is tuned to dominate rough landscapes. It comes with an off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, an oil pan guard, a brake-actuated limited-slip differential, a traction management system, and more!
Premium Interior
The Ridgeline's cabin is tastefully designed to ensure that your drive is one of the most relaxing experiences of your day, which is why most people make it their daily driver. Some of the comfort amenities it comes with can include heated and ventilated seats, leather upholstery, a sunroof, an 8-speaker, 540-watt sound system, an acoustic windshield, three-zone automatic climate control, wireless charging, and more!
Unless you regularly have to tow the moon, the Honda Ridgeline is the perfect truck for real life. Stop by Criswell Honda in Germantown, MD, today and take it for a spin!
