Honda Ridgeline Towing Performance


Fuel-Efficient and Capable Compact Pickup Truck

The Honda Ridgeline is the only truck in the Honda lineup of fuel-efficient and well-equipped vehicles. This highly-rated truck has a powertrain with noteworthy towing capability along with an outstanding collection of Honda Sensing driver-assistive features. This comfortable body-on-frame truck seats five and has a substantial bed that can haul up to 1,500 pounds of payload.

Standard Features Under the Hood and in the Cabin

The latest Ridgeline models have a 3.5-liter V6 paired to a nine-speed automatic. The Honda Ridgeline performance specs include 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, giving the truck what it needs to quickly get to speed on the highway and tackle hills while towing. The Ridgeline has a zero-to-60 speed of about seven seconds thanks to the smooth and refined V6 engine.

The EPA-estimated fuel economy is 18/24 MPG, which is respectable for a compact truck with a V6, especially as many competitors have four-cylinder engines.

The base Honda Ridgeline Sport trim comes with an 8.0-inch touch screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and seven speakers. The standard Honda Sensing standard safety features include Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Towing Capabilities and Features

When properly equipped, all Honda Ridgeline trims with all-wheel drive can tow 5,000 pounds. Honda outfits the Ridgeline with an Integrated Class III Trailer Hitch and a 7-Pin Connector, so shoppers won’t need to add a towing package. The Honda Ridgeline towing capacity is sufficient for trailering a small camper or Jet Ski and trailer.

For better towing and performance, the Ridgeline comes with several standard and available towing and payload features based on the model year and trim level. The Dual-Action Tailgate has a Lockable In-Bed Trunk. Drivers can add Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Tie-Down Cleats for safe hauling. Truck Bed Lights and a Truck Bed Audio System makes tailgating entertaining and enjoyable. Drivers can access more cargo space in the cabin with the Lift-Up Rear Seat with Underseat Storage.

The payload capacity varies based on the Ridgeline trim. The Sport hauls 1,583 pounds, and the RTL can carry 1,544 pounds. The top trims – RTL-E and Black Edition – can manage 1,509 pounds in the truck bed.
