PERFORMANCE
Strong V6 Power For Work And Play
Under the hood of every new Honda Ridgeline is a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 engine that delivers robust, confident performance. With 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque on tap, the Ridgeline has the muscle you need to merge onto I-78, tow a small camper up to the Poconos, or haul equipment between job sites without breaking a sweat.
A smooth 9-speed automatic transmission helps put that power to the pavement efficiently, giving you responsive acceleration when you want it and refined, quiet cruising when you just want to relax. Whether you’re pulling a utility trailer across town or loading up the bed for a weekend of yardwork, the Ridgeline’s powertrain is tuned to make every task feel easier.
Smooth, Confident Handling On New Jersey Roads
Unlike many body-on-frame pickups, the Honda Ridgeline rides on a unibody platform with fully independent suspension. The result is a truck that feels impressively composed over broken pavement, potholes, and patched back roads throughout Hunterdon County.
Steering is light yet precise, making it easy to thread the Ridgeline through tight parking lots in downtown Clinton or along narrow residential streets in nearby Annandale or Flemington. On the highway, the Ridgeline tracks straight and true, giving you confidence on long drives toward Bridgewater, Somerville, or beyond.
All-Weather & All-Terrain Capability
Every new Ridgeline comes standard with Honda’s advanced i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system. This intelligent torque-vectoring system continuously monitors driving conditions and can automatically send power to the wheels with the most grip, helping you stay sure-footed on rain-soaked roads, slushy winter streets, or loose gravel.
Intelligent Traction Management allows you to choose between Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes, optimizing throttle response and traction control for changing surfaces. Need to leave the pavement for a campsite or trailhead? Choose the TrailSport trim for an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and additional underbody protection to explore with even more confidence.
With a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds and payload ratings well over 1,500 pounds (depending on trim), the Ridgeline has the capability many Central Jersey drivers need—without sacrificing the comfort they want.
Rugged Truck Styling, Honda Refinement
The 2024 Honda Ridgeline looks every bit the modern truck, with bold lines, a confident stance, and a tailgate now stamped with “Ridgeline” to proudly declare what you’re driving. A muscular front end with a distinctive grille and available LED headlights helps you stand out whether you’re parked at the Clinton Park & Ride or rolling through neighborhoods in Flemington.
TrailSport models add a more adventurous look, with rugged fender flares, unique Pewter Gray alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, and eye-catching TrailSport badging and accents. At the top of the line, the Black Edition turns heads with darkened trim, exclusive black alloy wheels, and red ambient lighting inside to match its bold, blacked-out exterior.
Practical Details For Everyday Use
Beyond looking good, the Ridgeline exterior is designed to work hard for you. Standard LED daytime running lights and available LED fog lights enhance visibility in fog, rain, and early-morning commutes. Heated power mirrors, a power sliding rear window (on RTL and above), and cleverly integrated bed lighting help you stay comfortable and in control in all seasons.
Every Ridgeline rides on 18-inch alloy wheels, with all-season tires on most trims and robust all-terrain tires on TrailSport. The truck’s 7.6 inches of ground clearance strikes a welcome balance: high enough to clear obstacles on gravel work sites or muddy trail access roads, yet low enough to make getting in and out of the cab easy for everyone.
INTERIOR & COMFORT
SUV-Like Cabin Space
Step inside the Honda Ridgeline and it’s immediately clear you’re not in a traditional pickup. The spacious, five-passenger crew cab layout offers generous headroom and legroom in both rows, making the Ridgeline a natural choice for families, carpoolers, and anyone who spends serious time behind the wheel.
Wide, supportive front seats keep you comfortable on long drives, while the rear bench offers adult-friendly legroom for passengers riding from Clinton to New Brunswick or down the Shore. Thanks to a clever cabin design and thoughtful storage solutions, everything from work bags to kids’ backpacks has a place to go.
Premium Touches Across The Lineup
The Ridgeline’s interior is brimming with comfort and convenience features. A multi-function center console and numerous cupholders make daily life a little easier. Tri-zone automatic climate control (standard on all trims) lets the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers each find their ideal temperature—especially useful during New Jersey’s humid summers and chilly winters.
Trim levels give you the freedom to match your truck’s interior to your tastes. The Sport model offers durable cloth seating and a straightforward, functional layout. Upgrade to the RTL for leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a power moonroof, and an acoustic windshield that helps keep road noise at bay. TrailSport adds unique interior stitching and rugged accents, while the Black Edition pampers with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and exclusive black-and-red leather upholstery that feels upscale and distinctive.
CARGO & VERSATILITY
Dual-Action Tailgate And Innovative Bed
One of the Ridgeline’s most impressive features is its ultra-versatile truck bed. At about 64 inches long with the tailgate up (and 83 inches with it down) and 50 inches wide between the wheel wells, the Ridgeline bed is wide enough to carry standard 4x8 sheets of plywood flat—something not all midsize trucks can claim.
The dual-action tailgate is a game-changer: it can drop down like a conventional tailgate or swing out to the side, making it easier to climb into the bed or reach items at the front. With a bed volume of roughly 33.9 cubic feet and eight heavy-duty tie-down cleats (each capable of supporting up to 350 pounds), you’re well-equipped to haul everything from mulch and pavers for a home improvement project to dirt bikes for a weekend adventure.
Lockable In-Bed Trunk And Smart Storage
The Ridgeline’s signature feature is its lockable In-Bed Trunk. Hidden beneath the bed floor and accessible when the tailgate is open, this weather-resistant compartment offers about 7.3 cubic feet of secure storage. It’s perfect for stashing tools, valuables, or luggage out of sight, keeping them safe from both weather and prying eyes.
Thanks to a built-in drain plug, the In-Bed Trunk can even function as a cooler. Fill it with ice and drinks for a tailgate party before a game, or keep refreshments chilled for a day at Round Valley Reservoir or a picnic along the Delaware River.
Inside the cabin, the 60/40 split lift-up rear seat adds another layer of practicality. Flip up one or both sections of the rear bench to create a tall cargo space for items like bikes, plants, or large boxes, and take advantage of the additional under-seat storage area when you need a little extra room.
AUDIO & CONNECTIVITY
Seamless Smartphone Integration
The new Honda Ridgeline treats technology as a daily essential, not an afterthought. Every trim features a 9-inch color touchscreen that serves as the hub for audio, navigation (when equipped), and smartphone integration. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you bring your favorite apps, playlists, podcasts, and navigation tools along for every drive—no cords required.
A 7-inch digital meter display in the instrument cluster provides clear, customizable information right in your line of sight, from trip data and safety alerts to audio and phone info. Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, steering wheel-mounted controls, and voice recognition help you stay connected without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.
Premium Audio Options
No matter which trim you choose, the Ridgeline comes with a rich-sounding audio system that includes a subwoofer for extra depth. The standard 215-watt, 7-speaker system shines on its own, delivering crisp sound for everything from news radio during your commute to playlists on the ride home.
For audiophiles, the available 540-watt premium audio system with 8 speakers (standard on top trims such as the Black Edition) takes things up a notch, surrounding the cabin with powerful, well-balanced sound. Features like SiriusXM, HD Radio, additional USB charging ports, and a wireless phone charger (on most trims) make life on the move smoother and more enjoyable—especially on longer drives across New Jersey and beyond.
SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
Honda Sensing Driver-Assistive Features
Honda Sensing—the brand’s suite of advanced safety and driver-assist technologies—comes standard on every new Ridgeline. This includes:
These features are designed to support, not replace, your attention—offering an extra layer of peace of mind during crowded commutes, heavy rain, or late-night drives home from work.
Additional Driver-Assistance And Safety Features
Beyond Honda Sensing, the Ridgeline offers additional available safety technologies such as a Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor, which can warn you about vehicles in your blind spots or approaching from the side when backing out of a parking space. A multi-angle rearview camera helps you see what’s behind you from several perspectives, and available front and rear parking sensors make maneuvering in tight Clinton or Flemington parking lots easier.
Underpinning it all is Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, designed to help better manage crash energy, plus a comprehensive airbag system and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Assist. Together, these systems help make the Ridgeline a reassuring choice for families, commuters, and business owners throughout Central New Jersey.
