The 2013 Honda Ridgeline breaks from traditional pickups by offering more interior room and cargo space. The five-passenger pickup truck is powered by a heavy duty 3.5 liter SOHC VTEC engine. Its unitized body construction features a steel-reinforced composite cargo bed and high-strength steel frame rails for heavy-duty usage. Also, the Ridgeline is capable of off-road terrain thanks to its available 17 or 18-inch wheels and eight tie-down positions, which secure your precious merchandise.
The Honda Ridgeline provides a spacious interior, making it feel like you're in a full-size pickup rather than a midsize. It also goes one step further in accommodating you with great storage compartments for gadgets and gear. Sit back and relax in the Ridgeline's comfortable and ergonomic seating which offers 60/40 lift-up rear seat with underseat storage.
