2026 Honda
Ridgeline

Happy 20th anniversary to the Honda Ridgeline! Its debut marked a revolution in the pickup world, as the unibody construction and fully independent suspension made for a comfortable car feel with the practical bed and decent towing capacity. With Honda’s solid reputation for build quality and longevity as part of the Ridgeline’s equation, the Alabama-built truck was a success from day one. Clever innovations helped to distinguish it in the versatility category as well, thanks to the industry’s first in-bed trunk as well as a revolutionary dual-action tailgate. The changes for this landmark model year are all cosmetic, with a new paint color (Ash Green Metallic) and an option to order the Black Edition in a two-tone treatment with a black roof and lighter paint – either Platinum White Pearl or Sonic Gray Pearl.

How we describe this model: capable, work-ready, rugged, well equipped
