This is Why The NEW 2024 Honda Ridgeline is A Game Changer!!

America’s truck game is about to change with the arrival of the new 2024 Honda Ridgeline. This year’s Ridgeline is poised to be the best yet, and here’s why…

What’s new?
Historically, the Ridgeline has often been dismissed by truck enthusiasts due its SUV foundations; however, it always remained a solid choice in its class, competing against the likes of the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and the Chevrolet Colorado. For 2024, things are going to change for the Ridgeline as it has something new to offer you. Honda is introducing a Trailsport edition, meaning there will now be an option for you to upgrade to a fully off-road capable version of the ridgeline instead of just making do with the reliable but limited versions. This is a GAME CHANGER because not only are we blessed with the Japanese dependability and ruggedness, but we now have a variant that can compete with the other trucks on offer today.

The Trailsport trim of the 2024 Ridgeline will receive the same treatment as the 2023 Pilot Trailsport, which involved a lifted suspension, upgraded all-wheel-drive system, and steel skid plates, a much more functional difference when compared to the Honda Passport Trailsport, which turned out to be more of an aesthetic upgrade than anything else…

Moving on to the performance…

Much like the Pilot, the Ridgeline will use a solid 3.5 liter V6 mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission meaning it’s good for 285 horsepower and 262lb/ft of torque, a slight increase on the 2023 model. However, unlike the Ridgeline’s family-friendly counterpart, the Ridgeline has all-wheel drive as standard, a necessity for this type of vehicle. This advanced all-wheel-drive system can deliver up to 70% of the power to the rear wheels, offering improved traction in testing weather conditions.

Despite it being a truck with a more functional purpose, with all that power available, it’s actually pretty quick. It can get you from 0-60mph in just 6.3 seconds, giving an alarming sense of reality to anyone who owns a Golf GTI.

It’s worth noting that the new Ridgeline’s handling is great, with a smooth ride, partly due to the great 8-speed auto.

With this powertrain, the new ridgeline should be good to tow 5,000lbs, which isn’t terrible; for example, you could easily tow a jet ski, snowmobile, or even a small boat, but it falls short of the 7,000lbs benchmark hit by some of its competitors, such as the Chevy Colorado which can tow up to 7,700lbs, which is over 50% more than the Ridgeline.

Improved exterior styling…

Gone are the days of a pickup being just a tool to transport things from A to B. They now have to look good too. Overall, Honda has done a good job of this with the 2024 Ridgeline. It has a commanding presence on the road, ensuring that other drivers know it means business. The styling incorporates new LED lights, a larger front grille, and an updated front bumper. With the addition of the Trailsport model, buyers have a whole new look to choose from. Along with the range of Trailsport badges dotted across the truck, you’ll receive the higher trim level styling cues. Whilst the range is somewhat limited, the Ridgeline will be offered in amazing colors such as Sonic Gray Pearl, Platinum White Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl. That’s a lot of ‘pearls’...!



Now let’s take a look at the Interior & Tech

The Ridgeline is no longer just a rugged truck with function being the only goal, it’s now a modern, pleasant, and tech-friendly vehicle.

The Interior is both sporty and spacious and carefully designed to offer exceptional style, performance, and comfort. It offers a range of new features that improve the overall driving experience, whether daily driving or tough off-roading situations.
The spacious cabin provides a new level of comfort compared to the previous generations of the Ridgeline. The seats have been engineered with plush materials and luxurious fabrics, ensuring a relaxing ride and overall premium feel. The front seats come with power adjustment controls and heating and cooling functions, further improving the driving experience for you and your passengers, especially on long journeys.
