2026 Honda Ridgeline RTL

The Ridgeline is a unibody pickup that prioritizes car-like comfort and clever storage over heavy-duty capability. It competes with the Ford Maverick, Hyundai Santa Cruz, and traditional mid-size trucks like the Tacoma and Ranger. The Ridgeline's independent rear suspension gives it a composed, settled ride that most body-on-frame trucks can't match. The cabin is roomy and quiet, with a useful in-bed trunk and a dual-action tailgate that make the bed more versatile. Leather seating surfaces and heated front seats distinguish the RTL from the Sport trim below it. Its 3.5L V6 makes 280 horsepower and drives all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic, delivering Honda's typical smooth power and 21 mpg combined. The moonroof and larger 9-inch touchscreen are included, features not found on the entry-level Ridgeline.
