Honda Ridgeline Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

2009 Honda Ridgeline. As a brand, Honda has been known to push the boundaries of automotive engineering. So it is not surprising that a pickup truck built by the Japanese automaker would be a bit different from other pickup trucks.

The American formula for a pickup truck has for a long time favored V8 engines, solid rear axles and a body-on-frame design. In bold contrast, the Honda Ridgeline features an efficient V6 engine, independent rear suspension, all-wheel drive and car-like unibody construction. Other features including a dual-hinged tailgate and in bed storage help the Ridgeline standout as an enticing alternative for non-traditional truck buyers.

@Scotty6211 you are an absolute idiot you apparently have no clue that a unibody is much more stiff than a body on frame

[chinchillawrangler]

@xmodrock well ya your moms explorer is a truck, this is an crossover with a pick-up bed

[openshot]

i wanna see one slammed

Just bought a Honda Ridgeline and I just fell in love, this is a well thought out truck, no humps in the bed like other trucks, US car makers after a hundred year can't get rid of the humps. Had a Dodge Dakota for 11 years of hell, everything broke from day one, not rich so was kinda stuck in that truck, never again, when the new model comes out in a few years I will get another Honda Ridgeline. Thank you Japan for going to my construction business in luxury.

@carreviewsbychris i know what that is. the odyssey ridgeline and pilot all share the same engines. the older pilots were fast, and the older odysseys did a fast 50-90 but because of the new fuel economy gearing the pilot and ridgeline are consiterably slower now.

@MrImacarfan passing power= when you're on the highway GOING 60mph and you need to SPEED UP past 60mph to PASS the other car they'r saying once it reaches 60mph it can't speed up that well to pass

@theTorpidKings That's just marketing, the ridgeline is AWD it can't be put into 2wd mode and has no low range 4wd is just a term Honda uses.

[alexcheetah79]

Why do people keep calling this a pickup truck? it's an Accord with AWD and an open bed.

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

fucking pos, monoqocue construction with lame AWD and independent rear suspension, real trucks have a frame on body, part time 4 Wheel Drive and at least one solid axle

[MrImacarfan]

passing power un acceptable.. wtf kbb go watch the 0-60's on this thing then tell me it desent haul ass

Oh ,wow, people are stupid. Coments about rust, towing, stiffness. This is Honda. People smarter than all of us designed this thing. The bed will hold 1500 lbs. That makes it a half ton. it wont tow 10000 lbs but most "truck" owners don't either. If you own a F150, ram 1500 or Silverado/seirrs 1500 I doubt you get anywhere near it towing capacity. In the Truck of the year back in 06 I went everywhere the "big" boys did. It's a truck period. I'm not a truck guy but I know one when I see one.
