20 Years of Ridgeline Innovation
For two decades and two generations, the innovative Honda Ridgeline has been introducing revolutionary new technologies and features to North America’s truck market. The first-generation Honda Ridgeline was built exclusively at HCM from 2004 to 2008, encompassing the 2006 to 2009 model years.
The rugged yet refined Ridgeline represents an exclusive and innovative approach to the midsize pickup truck segment, prioritizing its construction and features based on the capabilities that recreational truck buyers need and use the most.
Boasting a legacy of many segment firsts, Ridgeline is two-time winner of the prestigious North American Truck of the Year Award (2006 and 2017), and today the second-generation Ridgeline continues to offer a higher degree of utility and versatility without the traditional truck trade-offs of comfort, performance and packaging.
Introduced at the 2005 North American Auto Show, the groundbreaking first-generation Honda Ridgeline became the first pickup to feature unitized body construction and a steel-reinforced composite bed to deliver true truck capabilities including half ton hauling and 5,000-pound towing.
Its extra-wide standard bed made it the only truck in its class that can flat-carry 4-foot-wide items, such as plywood and drywall, between the wheel wells. The extra-wide bed of the completely redesigned and reengineered second-generation Ridgeline is constructed of glass fiber-reinforced SMC composite which resists dents and scratches without the need for a separate bed liner.
Ridgeline’s unibody architecture remains unique in the midsize pickup truck class, providing the foundation for the truck’s spacious cabin, excellent cargo space, impressive capability and outstanding safety performance. With a flat floor and foldaway 60/40-split rear seat bottoms, Ridgeline offers passenger comfort and rear-seat legroom plus the flexibility to carry long and tall gear in the cabin.
Ridgeline also holds the honour of being North America’s first pickup with a four-wheel, fully independent suspension system, which combines with an advanced fully automatic torque-vectoring i-VTM4® four-wheel drive system, to deliver superior ride and handling versus traditional truck designs. A MacPherson strut front suspension and fully independent multi-link rear suspension with trailing arms provide unrivaled, class-leading dynamics with a smooth ride and responsive handling.
Based on the packaging efficiency of its unique construction and independent rear suspension, Ridgeline also introduced all-new exclusive features to the truck world, including the industry’s first Dual-Action Tailgate, which opens downward or to the side, enhancing its versatility. Ridgeline also is North America’s first and only pickup with a washable, lockable In-Bed Trunk® under the bed floor. The additional 206 litre (7.3 cu.-ft.) of secure storage space can double as an ice-filled cooler, including a convenient drain, making Ridgeline the ultimate tailgate vehicle for sporting events, picnics and other gatherings.
