Need Both Cargo Space and Strength? Behold the Ridgeline
The Honda Ridgeline is the answer to the question, “what would happen if a sports utility vehicle and a pickup truck had a baby?” The Ridgeline markets itself as a solution for those seeking the cabin space afforded by a roomier car with the towing and hauling capacity of a rugged pickup truck. Those who are concerned that the Ridgeline would sacrifice strength in the name of style can be reassured that the Ridgeline will be up for the same towing jobs as its counterparts.
The Ridgeline Can Take Punishment and Keep Rolling
The Ridgeline is equipped with a steel-reinforced composite cargo bed and eight heavy-duty cables to secure up to 1,100 pounds of cargo. Although this likely won’t free you from friends’ demands to help them move, it will provide the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing the job can be done right. The lockable in-bed trunk ensures extra storage space and flexibility in how you store your load.
This Vehicle Does Not Skimp on Flexibility
With versatility being the Ridgeline’s main identity, it would be counter-intuitive to be less flexible in how you haul your treasure. The cargo bed is five feet long and has wider length between wheel wells than other pickups in its class. The wheel arches hardly protrude into the bed, enabling more room to haul heavy-duty loads. All of this versatility and power comes with a fuel efficiency of 15 mpg* in the city and 21 mpg* on the highway.
