2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL

The 2023 Ridgeline is a unibody pickup that drives more like a crossover than a traditional truck, a trait that sets it apart in the mid-size segment. It competes with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado, but the Ridgeline's car-like ride and clever bed features give it a distinct character. The Ridgeline handles with unexpected agility, its independent rear suspension smoothing out bumps and keeping the bed stable over uneven pavement. The dual-action tailgate and in-bed trunk are standout features, making the Ridgeline one of the most versatile pickups for hauling gear and keeping it secure. The RTL sits between the Sport and the RTL-E in the Ridgeline lineup, adding leather seats, heated front seats, and a moonroof over the base trim. Its 3.5L V6 makes 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, and it returns 21 mpg combined. The RTL comes standard with a power sliding rear window and tri-zone climate control, features that are optional or unavailable on some rivals.
