2021 Honda Ridgeline

The 2021 Honda Ridgeline will be arriving in dealerships soon with new bold styling that emphasizes its rugged and versatile pickup truck capabilities.

The Ridgeline continues to bring versatility and features the segment’s largest interior for passengers and gear, a versatile truck bed with a lockable storage compartment, and best in class standard AWD payload capacity.

A 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter direct-injected VTEC® V6 backed by a smooth and responsive 9-speed automatic transmission powers every 2021 Honda Ridgeline, with i-VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive now standard across the lineup. The i-VTM4® system automatically sends up to 70 percent of the engine’s 262 lb.-ft. (SAE net) of torque to the rear wheels and continuously apportions 100 percent of that torque between the left and right rear wheels based on driving conditions at each wheel. Ridgeline’s standard Intelligent Traction Dynamics System further optimizes power delivery and distribution in various conditions, including snow, pavement, mud and sand.
