It’s a Pilot from the back of the rear doors forward. The new look is much more appealing to pickup lovers than the original design, and should draw from a wider market, or at least entice some non-brand-biased pickup cross-shoppers to take it for a test drive.Ĭurrent Honda owners will find the 2017 Ridgeline blends in nicely with other cars, SUVs or minivans parked in their garage because it shares many parts with the SUV and minivan stablemates from which it evolved. It’s taken on the look of a conventional crew-cab four-door pickup.
The biggest change in the new Ridgeline is the body. The original Ridgeline’s odd styling was polarizing, but it served to keep Honda fans in the driver’s seat of a Honda pickup. Our experience with the 2017 model suggests that could change. Ridgeline sales during the past 10 years have been lackluster in comparison with both these competitors and other Honda models, with a little more than 250,000 sold in its history. The new Ridgeline still retains the interior and underpinnings of the Pilot SUV, but it now looks like a conventional pickup with a lot of features no other competitor in the midsize truck market offers.Ĭompetitors include sage veterans like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and Nissan Frontier.
As before, it has one engine, a V-6, but now offers front- along with all-wheel drive. Last sold for the 2014 model year, the Ridgeline has gotten its first real redesign since its 2006 debut. Its bed is large and its many new refinements combine with existing innovations and a more conventional look to make this efficient, capable midsize pickup much more attractive than it’s ever been. Versus the competition: It’s still not as off-road capable as its body-on-frame competitors and its towing capacity is comparatively low, but you don’t get beat up in a Ridgeline when you hit potholes or take roads less traveled. With the diagram reference, you can easily find the part you are looking for and place the order.The verdict: It’s taken a decade but for those who desire carlike comfort with the functionality and utility of a pickup truck bed, Honda has finally hit the mark with the 2017 Ridgeline.
