Lance Woelfer, Assistant Vice President of Honda Auto Sales at American Honda Motor Co., Inc., noted, "With every new TrailSport model we bring to market, Honda light trucks get more rugged than ever, and the increase in Ridgeline's off-road performance continues that trend."
The Ridgeline's exterior receives a rugged makeover, with a boldly stamped "RIDGELINE" across the tailgate and a sporty new mesh design for the grille. Inside, advanced technology takes center stage, featuring a standard 7-inch digital instrument panel, offering user-selectable functions such as Honda Sensing® settings and vehicle information. A larger 9-inch color touchscreen with faster processing ensures lag-free performance, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility is now standard across all trims. The Ridgeline Black Edition enhances its premium audio system for an improved listening experience.
Adding to comfort and functionality, the 2024 Ridgelines boast a new center console with an integrated armrest and expanded storage.
Available in four all-wheel-drive trim levels – Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and the top-tier Black Edition – the 2024 Honda Ridgeline offers customization through post-production option packages, including the popular HPD Package. This package, inspired by Honda's racing heritage, enhances the Ridgeline's appearance with unique grille treatment, black fender flares, distinctive wheels, and special graphics.
The TrailSport model, engineered for adventurous excursions, features an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and steel underbody protection for added durability against off-road obstacles. General Grabber™ A/T Sport tires provide excellent traction on diverse terrains while maintaining on-road comfort. Tested in challenging off-road environments, the Ridgeline TrailSport is equipped with Honda's i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, enhancing off-road capability. The model offers a distinct appearance with unique grille design, black trim, and TrailSport badges. A new Diffused Sky Blue paint color adds to its rugged aesthetics.
Inside the TrailSport cabin, orange ambient lighting and contrast stitching create a distinctive atmosphere. The TrailSport logo is featured on embroidered headrests and all-season rubber floor mats. The cabin offers generous space, ensuring passenger comfort and rear-seat legroom.
Safety is a priority across the Ridgeline lineup, with the Honda Sensing® suite of technologies standard on all trims, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Underpinning the Ridgeline's exceptional capabilities is its rugged unibody construction, featuring a stiff, fully boxed frame and independent rear suspension. The innovative Dual-Action Tailgate, extra-wide bed, and class-exclusive In-Bed Trunk® add practicality and versatility to the Ridgeline, making it a standout in its class. With a payload capacity of 1,583 pounds and a towing capability of 5,000 pounds, the Ridgeline is ready for various tasks and adventures.
