The Honda Ridgeline is more comfortable and refined to drive than other midsize trucks, and also boasts plenty of storage and abundant standard driver-assist features.

2025 Honda Ridgeline : Interior
Inside, the Ridgeline’s interior is tops in its class in terms of practicality and comfort. Like the other mid-size pickups, the Honda features hard plastics below the dash level. Interior materials are above average, and rear-seat passengers will enjoy the most space of all mid-size rivals. The Honda pickup has only one-bed length, 5.3 feet, which lines up with competitors’ short beds and has the second-lowest volume at 34 cubic feet. The antidote to this disparity is its locking, weather-tight in-bed trunk, which is located below the bed’s floor and accessed from above. The Ridgeline is the only mid-size pickup that can fit a sheet of four-by-eight-foot building material flat on the bed floor. The rear seat splits 60/40 and, when flipped up, provides room to fit a full-size bicycle.

Every 2025 Ridgeline comes standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, features a physical volume knob, and screen icons that Honda says make it easier to use than its predecessor was. However, we haven’t had a chance to test this claim or the updated Display Audio system for ourselves. The Ridgeline models can also be equipped with an in-bed audio system that can liven up any tailgate party.
2025 Honda Ridgeline : Engine
The Ridgeline’s lone powertrain is a 280-hp 3.5-liter V-6 that makes 262 pound-feet of torque and hooks up to a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The engine feels smooth and responsive to your right foot, especially when you call for hard acceleration. An unusual take in many ways, the Ridgeline is a surprise behind the wheel. The coil-sprung independent rear suspension contributes to a car-like ride quality not available with the leaf-sprung, solid-axle setups used by competition from Chevy, GMC, Jeep, and Ford.
