2017 Ridgeline unveiled

On January 11th 2015 at the North American International Auto Show, commonly referred to as the Detroit Auto Show, the 2nd generation Honda Ridgeline was unveiled.

        There has been a mass amount of design changes for the Ridgeline and we should see it become a leader in the midsize pickup truck market.
The ridgeline has the most interior space and sophisticated cabin in the midsize 4 door class.

The Ridgeline has a lockable IN-Bed trunk, with a drain plug for easy cleaning and water removal and the dual action tailgate, opening down or to the side to increase the ease or loading and unloading depending on the application. It also now has the only 4 foot wide flat bed space in the midsize class, making it a breeze to flat haul drywall or plywood sheeting.

The Ridgeline has an industry 1st IN-Bed Audio System. Yes, just as it sounds, in the bed of the truck. The system utilizes 6 exciters (somewhat like a speaker) in the bed walls, 3 on each side. PLUS there is an available 400 watt power inverter (access panel in the bed wall) so you can charge power tools, or even watch a flat screen TV.

   The Ridgeline has a unibody platform, fully independent suspension and a direct injection 3.5L V6 motor. Offered in Front wheel drive and Honda's i-VTM4 torque vectoring AWD technology.

Cabin features offered include a 8" display Audio with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, push button start, three zone auto climate control, leather and more.
