2021 Honda Ridgeline Review
When shopping for a truck around Atlantic City, Egg Harbor, and Galloway, NJ, you’ll want a vehicle with performance abilities and additional features designed to improve every drive. That’s likely why you’ve found yourself looking into the Honda Ridgeline.
From its powerful engine and drivetrain to its capable truck bed and extra features, this truck was made to give you that drive experience you’ve been craving. Let our Boardwalk Honda team give you the rundown of this impressive truck with our 2021 Honda Ridgeline review.
Honda Ridgeline: A Look Under the Hood
Whether you’re planning to use this truck for work or play, you’ll find that the Honda Ridgeline is well equipped to handle anything the road has in store. It comes standard with AWD (all-wheel drive) and a V6 engine that can achieve up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
A standard 9-speed automatic transmission will direct that power with gear shifts so smooth you won’t even feel it. Put all that power to good use and tow a trailer, boat, or camper along on your next drive. The Ridgeline comes standard with an integrated tow hitch with 7-pin connector and has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
To top off these excellent performance abilities, the Ridgeline is also incredibly fuel-efficient with an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG across all trims.1 This is due in part to the standard Idle-Stop feature, which will turn your engine off when you come to a complete stop to help you save gas.
2021 Ridgeline: Load Your Gear into the Truck Bed
Honda knows that sometimes you need to get a little rough with your truck, and that’s why they built the Ridgeline with a scratch-resistant truck bed and a maximum available payload capacity of up to 1,583 pounds.
On top of that, you’ll also have the standard lockable In-Bed Trunk® which expands your cargo area and offers extra security you would otherwise lack with an open truck bed. This gives you 7.3 cubic feet of hidden, lockable cargo space underneath the truck bed.
The standard Dual-Action Tailgate folds down the way traditional tailgates do, but can also swing open to the side, so you’ll always have easy access to your bed. This might come in handy when you’re trying to plug in your tv or power tools through the available Power Outlet back there.
An Adventure with the Ridgeline
While these excellent features and capabilities are well suited to help your friend move or tow cargo for work, you’ll really love getting to use it for all your adventures.
For instance, you’ll have the standard Intelligent Traction Management system which works with the AWD system to offer four unique drive modes:
- Snow
- Sand
- Mud
- Normal
These drive modes ensure your truck can handle whatever drive you have on the horizon. Switch between them with the press of a button and tackle every journey. Plus, with the Independent Suspension System, your truck will offer an incredibly smooth ride, even over uneven terrain. Overall, the Ridgeline offers a seamless blend of control and comfort with its drive.
