2018 Honda Ridgeline in Orlando, FL - $19,296

Originally introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the all-new 2017 Ridgeline brings Honda innovation in technology, design and packaging to the midsize pickup truck market. The Ridgeline delivers superior driving dynamics in combination with the largest interior space and most versatile bed in a midsize four-door pickup truck. Honda-exclusive features including In-Bed Trunk®, dual-action tailgate and the industry's first in-bed audio system make Ridgeline the ultimate tailgating vehicle.

Designed, developed and manufactured in America, the new Ridgeline boasts of a combination of features and capabilities unlike anything else on the market today, including: superior on-road performance – with the segment's best handling, ride quality, cabin quietness and all-weather traction.

Available in RT, RTS, Sport, RTL, RTL-T, RTL-E and Black Edition, power for the all-new Honda pickup truck is powered by a 3.5L direct-injected i-VTEC™ V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The Ridgeline is also available for the first time in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations. All-wheel-drive models utilize Honda's i-VTM4™ torque vectoring AWD technology, featuring Intelligent Terrain Management with Normal, Sand, Snow and Mud modes, providing robust medium-duty off-road and towing capability with superior on-road, all-weather handling, traction and performance.

The new Ridgeline rides on Honda's Global Light Truck platform with its rigid yet lightweight unibody construction, next-generation ACE™ body structure. Its sophisticated, fully independent suspension, delivers a higher level of ride and handling refinement than conventional body-on-frame designs.

The cargo bed offers pickup users unmatched versatility in a midsize four-door pickup. Longer and wider than the model it replaces, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline features 48 inches between the rear wheel arches, allowing for flat hauling of items like plywood sheeting or drywall. The composite, UV-stabilized and scratch-resistant bed also boasts a number of available Honda-exclusive features that add to its incredible versatility, including an In-Bed Trunk™, dual-action tailgate, available 400-watt AC power inverter and the industry's first in-bed audio system. The bed also features eight 350-pound tie-down cleats.

Inside the passenger cabin boasts the largest, most versatile and sophisticated interior in a midsize four-door pickup, featuring high-grade materials and finishes, available leather trim and all the latest technologies that Honda has to offer, including tri-zone climate control, push button start, a full-color TFT center meter and available 8-inch Display Audio touch screen with Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility.

The 60/40-split and folding second-row seat provides the ultimate versatility for people- and cargo-hauling utility. With the seats folded down, the Ridgeline will comfortably carry up to five people while still accommodating long items, like a set of golf clubs, under the rear seat. Folding up one or both sides of the 60/40-split seat bottom opens up the back to carry tall and bulky items.
