2026 Honda Ridgeline
2026 Honda
Ridgeline
It’s been two decades since the Ridgeline, Honda’s first and only pickup truck, made its debut. Model year 2026 marks this milestone with a few changes worth noting. First, all trims now come with active noise cancellation, and the TrailSport upgrades its infotainment suite with HD Radio. The top-of-the-line Black Edition now offers a two-toned exterior, pairing a black roof with either Platinum White Pearl or Sonic Gray Pearl paint.
As always, the Ridgeline gives drivers the storage utility of a pickup and the passenger practicality and ride comfort of a crossover. The in-bed trunk is lockable and fitted with a drain so that it can double as a cooler. The dual-function tailgate is the first of its kind in its class, opening traditionally from the top down or from the side for easy bed access. Honda’s unibody platform provides the easy and comfortable ride of a plush SUV, and the spacious five-seat interior comes with convenient amenities like standard wireless smartphone charging and tri-zone climate control. There are also some practical features in the bed, including a dual-action tailgate, a lockable in-bed trunk, cargo lights, and eight heavy-duty tie-down cleats, as well as optional packages to increase the Ridgeline’s already impressive utility factor.
