Honda’s Versatile Pickup
With its closed-box, unit-body architecture, the 5-passenger Honda Ridgeline pickup rules from a high pedestal in the half-ton truck segment. Offering a comfortable ride performance with its pickup capabilities, the 2010 Honda Ridgeline is a remarkably gentle beast – something quite rare for a pickup truck.
With the versatility of a conventional pickup and a maximum tow rating of 5,000 pounds to compliment its half-ton payload rating, the Ridgeline also offers unique characteristics like the “In-Bed Trunk and an independent front and rear suspension.
“The Honda Ridgeline excels at hauling motorcycles, towing a boat or even taking the curvy road home,” said Erik Berkman, vice president of American Honda. “It’s tough when it needs to be and refined the rest of the time.”
Powered by a 250HP 3.5 liter VTEC V6, the Ridgeline offers plenty of power and performance, without the impact on fuel economy that most pickups suffer.
The four-door cabin takes advantage of the Ridgeline’s unit-body to offer spacious, full-size passenger room without sacrificing its garage-friendly exterior dimensions. Thanks to the rigidness of the unit-body design, the Ridgeline provides incredible safety performance and a class-defining ride. Modern and athletic, it maintains a solid one-piece appearance between bed and cab. The cargo area measures over 49 inches between wheel wells and 60 inches in length.
