The 2010 Ridgeline is built solid to take punishment. The 5000-lb towing capacity and 1550-lb total payload capacity make small work of big jobs. Its strength comes from an integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction and powerful, 250 hp, V-6 engine. It's no wonder the Ridgeline has won countless awards, including Motor Trend Truck of the Year for 2006 and AJAC Truck of the Year and Best New Pickup for 2006.
It won't matter if your adventures take you on-road or off-road. Honda's sophisticated Variable Torque Management™ 4-wheel drive (VTM-4®) system can handle just about anything, from a slick, steep boat ramp to a rough-and-tumble back road – instantly directing power to the wheels with the best traction. And with a refined, fully independent suspension, that go-anywhere attitude comes in a curve-hugging, fun-to-drive package. Inside, you get comfort as well as utility. Wide, supportive seats. Powerful audio system. Available leather trim and heated seats. And one tool you may not be able to do without: Honda's optional Navigation System with bilingual Voice Recognition™ with steering wheel-mounted controls. Outside, Ridgeline boasts some serious utility, like the super-durable steel-reinforced composite (SRC) cargo bed with lockable In-Bed Trunk™. It has 241 litres of secure storage space that you won't find on any other pickup. For quick access, you can even swing the dual-action tailgate to the side.
All this may be a bit more than you'd expect from a pickup truck. But it's exactly what you'd expect from a Honda.
