Gains include more horsepower and better economy, a longer wheelbase and a larger bed. A front-wheel-drive version debuts and available tech now includes a full suite of driver-assist and safety systems.
Gone for good are the flying-buttress C pillars, which Honda meant as a styling statement but which only served to reduce visibility and complicate access to the bed.
Unlike conventional trucks, which are built on sturdy steel frames, Ridgeline is built on a car-like unibody.
Ridgeline's seats are large and comfortable and the dashboard and control panel layouts are attractive and ergonomic. Fit-and-finish and materials quality are very good.
A rearview camera is standard and upper trims get Honda Sensing, Honda’s wide-ranging driver-assist package.
The AWD system includes driver-selectable terrain settings (Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand). By default, 100 percent of the torque is directed to the front wheels, with up to 70 percent available to the rear wheels as needed.
he rear seating area is large enough to comfortably accommodate three. The bottom cushions can be flipped up to create up a large storage area.
