Jul 26, 2018

The Honda Ridgeline, which is Honda’s only pickup truck, is one of the most versatile and well-rounded vehicles in its class. It offers a unique blend of practicality and play, and although it might not be as tough as some of its more traditional counterparts, it boasts a set of unique features and car-like dynamics which makes this midsize truck comfortable and user-friendly.

The 2019 Honda Ridgeline is the newest model on the market, and it does not disappoint. There are many different trim levels available to choose from, including the RT, Sport, RTL, RTL-T, RTL-E, and Black Edition. Here are some of the most impressive features of this new exciting edition of the Honda Ridgeline.

Practical and Unique Exterior

Unlike other pickup trucks that have a body-on-frame construction, this truck sports a unibody construction. The 2019 Honda Ridgeline also boasts unique features, such as a dual-action tailgate that can be pulled out to serve as an extra packing surface or swung open to make loading easier. The locking in-bed trunk offers further functionality by providing a secure stowing space in your trunk. The trunk bed itself is long, wide, and features a 50-inch flatbed between wheel wells where you can stack sheets of materials completely flat.

The RTL and RTL-T trims also sport power sliding rear windows, as well as a moonroof.

Innovative and Spacious Interior

The 2019 Honda Ridgeline boasts one of the most spacious interiors in its segment. The 60/40 lift-up rear seats provide even more cargo space, with the overall cargo space in the rear under-seat storage compartment amounting to 2.9 cubic feet. The RTL trim and up come with leather-trimmed seats that can be heated in the front, as

well as a driver seat with 10-way power adjustment and power lumbar support. Heated back seats and a heated steering wheel are also available as options.

For those cold, winter mornings, the remote engine starter will allow you to warm up the car before you leave the house. The 2019 Honda Ridgeline comes standard with a second USB port. Ambient lighting is available in the RTL-E and Black Edition trims.

Technology

This vehicle is not only practical but also fun to drive. The RTL-E trim features a 540watt truck-bed audio system, as well as illuminated cup holders. The base model comes with a 5-inch central LCD display with Bluetooth and a seven-speaker audio system, while the RTL-T trim and up sports an 8-inch Infotainment touch screen with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, as well as a navigation system.

Safety

Some of the safety features of this car include Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, Brake Assist, and a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System. The RTL-E and Black Edition trims also come with the Honda Sensing suit, which offers features such as Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Road Departure Mitigation System.
