After a two-year hiatus from the Honda lineup, the Ridgeline makes its triumphant return, and it’s better than ever. With new styling, a plethora of innovative new features, and an excellent mix of practicality and reliability, the Ridgeline looks to earn new customers, as well as bring original buyers back to the brand. If you’ve never considered a Ridgeline for your next vehicle, here are a few reasons that may convince you to give it a try.

1. The Ultimate Tailgater

If you’re an avid sports fan, you probably love the entire tailgating experience. The Ridgeline is not only a valuable adversary when it comes to tailgating, but it also has spectacular features to make your party even better. To add more storage space, the pickup has a lockable 7.3 cubic foot in-bed trunk located under the bed liner, offering an awesome spot to put tools, wet clothes, or tie-downs without tying up interior space. For tailgating, this area also turns into a convenient ice chest for food and drinks. To play some tunes or listen to the pre-game, the Ridgeline has the Truck Bed Audio System, which uses six speakers hidden in the walls of the truck bed to play music from the audio system, Bluetooth, a USB port, or an auxiliary jack.

Maybe you aren’t lucky enough to score tickets to your game, but the Ridgeline provides an acceptable alternative. In the rear, there are 150 and 400-watt outlets so you can plug in a television to watch the game. This television is even easier to load in the back, thanks to the Ridgeline’s two-way tailgate, which opens in the traditional downward direction, as well as from the side like a normal car door.

2. A Powerful Engine

You can’t have a pickup without a properly equipped engine that’s up to the task. Under the hood, the Ridgeline sports a 3.5-liter V6 engine that provides 280-horsepower and up to 262 pound-feet of torque. This comes powered by a smooth, six-speed automatic transmission. With available all-wheel drive, the Ridgeline tows up to 5,000 pounds and offers a payload capacity of up to 1,588 pounds. As an added bonus, even with this remarkable amount of hauling power, the Ridgeline doesn’t sacrifice fuel efficiency.

3. Amazing Interior Amenities

Another place where the Ridgeline truly excels is in the cabin. This spacious area outclasses the competition with an astounding 109 cubic feet of cargo space and seating for up to five passengers. If you need more space, the rear seats lift up to provide even more space. It also has available tri-zone automatic climate control, giving each passenger total control of their temperature. To top it off, the Ridgeline has an attractive dashboard layout and instrument cluster that’s easy to use and read.
