The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is a midsize pickup designed for drivers seeking the versatile utility of a truck without sacrificing the comfort and ride quality of an SUV. Unlike its rivals that prioritize raw ruggedness, the Ridgeline features an unibody construction and fully independent suspension system, giving it car-like handling and ride comfort. Meanwhile, its powerful V6 engine and standard all-wheel drive ensure confident capability. Inside, a roomy, upscale, and family-friendly cabin makes it a pleasure to live with.
The Appealing Features of the 2025 Honda Ridgeline
Robust Engine
The Honda Ridgeline comes with a robust 3.5-liter V6 that cranks out up to 280 HP and 262 pound-feet of torque to ensure you always have more than enough muscle for any situation. In addition to providing plenty of passing and merging power, it also enables a hefty 5,000-pound towing capacity, allowing you to haul everything from a midsize boat to a utility trailer with ease.
Thoughtfully Designed Truck Bed
The Ridgeline’s 5.3-foot composite bed is designed for maximum utility with its standard and available features. Being scratch-resistant, it allows you to carry all types of rough cargo without worrying about damage. Additionally, the size of the wheelwell housings is greatly reduced to maximize space, allowing you to place 4-foot wide materials flat on the floor. Other thoughtful features include a 7.3 cubic-foot lockable in-bed trunk with a drain plug, and a 150-watt/400-watt power outlet.
Plus, the dual-action tailgate can lower down in the conventional manner or swing open sideways to ensure maximum convenience when loading cargo.
Pleasure to Drive
Unlike other pickups that typically come with body-on-frame construction and a rigid leaf-spring rear suspension, making them unwieldy and unforgiving on rough roads, the Ridgeline’s unibody construction and independent front and rear suspensions give it car-like driving dynamics and ride comfort. Consequently, it is remarkably agile and comfortable to handle, despite its size.
Its pleasurable handling dynamics are further accentuated by the standard all-wheel-drive system that maximizes traction and stability to ensure excellent control, and the smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shifters that provides a responsive and engaging driving experience. If you go off-road regularly, consider the TrailSport trim, which comes with features such as all-terrain tires, an underbody skid plate, and an intelligent traction management system, ensuring you can conquer any terrain with ease.
Upscale Cabin
The Ridgeline provides a premium riding experience with its numerous available upmarket amenities. They include three-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, an 8-speaker, 540-watt sound system, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power moonroof, leather upholstery, wireless phone charging, and more!
