2023 Honda Ridgeline Levels Guide
The Honda Ridgeline, a mid-size truck, is a unibody vehicle, meaning there is no separate frame. Unlike competitors like the Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma, which offer body-on-frame pickups, this one has a unibody construction. For those seeking a more refined and economical option, Honda has created the Ridgeline.
The sole powerplant is a 3.5-litre V-6 that generates 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, and it is mated to a nine-speed automated transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The engine is refined, and it responds well to aggressive throttle inputs.

Summary
When it comes to usability and passenger comfort, the Ridgeline is unrivalled. This midsize car has the most legroom and headroom in the backseat of any of its competitors. Thanks to the low positioning of the centre console between the front seats, the inclusion of fold-down armrests on both seats is well appreciated.
Every Ridgeline has an 8.0-inch display; Honda claims that it is simpler to operate than its predecessor now with a physical volume knob and on-screen graphics.
While the Honda Ridgeline may be a head-turner, it’s not exactly a heavy-duty hauler. There is a 5,000-pound towing capacity and all-wheel drive on all Ridgelines.
The Ridgeline’s unconventional design marries the spacious inside of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with the hauling capacity and cargo space of a pickup truck. The Ridgeline is the only midsize pickup that can lay a sheet of 4′ x 8′ lumber flat on the bed floor, thanks to the extra space of 50.0 inches between the wheel wells.
