Already offering one of the most unique packages on the market today, the Honda Ridgeline pickup will deliver more value than ever before for the next model year by offering one of the most unique pricing strategies on the market today: The 2011 Ridgeline will start with the exact same MSRP—a customer-friendly $28,900—as the 2010 version. If that’s a little out of your price range check Pohanka Honda of Marlow Heights Specials to find a quality pre-owned Honda Ridgeline.
That price of admission gets drivers into a vehicle that supplies the best of both worlds. The Ridgeline is a true pickup, with a half-ton payload rating and the ability to tow up to 5,000 lbs., while also boasting Honda’s robust Variable Torque Management four-wheel-drive system. The system not only improves traction in challenging driving conditions, but it enhances the Ridgeline’s towing performance as well by optimizing torque distribution to each of its four wheels. To learn more about Honda’s Variable Torque Management four-wheel-drive system, visit Honda Price New Haven or Honda Dealer Washington. Pulling capability is further improved by standard equipment like an integrated tow hitch, transmission and oil coolers, heavy-duty brakes, dual radiator fans and a wiring harness that’s compatible with a seven-pin trailer hookup.
The Ridgeline’s 5-foot-long composite cargo bed is equally functional: It features eight tie-down locations, four cargo area lights and a dual-action tailgate that drops down or swings open. With an assist from the Honda accessories team, the bed can easily handle toys like motorcycles or ATVs.
It’s all part of how “the Honda Ridgeline focuses on delivering the most-popular features and capabilities that a majority of recreational truck buyers typically use and need,” according to Erik Berkman, vice president of American Honda.
But the hard-working Honda gets the job done with surprising levels of comfort. Its unitized body structure allows room for a spacious, well-contented interior with available up-level accoutrements such as a seven-speaker premium sound system, leather trim, heated front seats, steering-wheel-mounted controls, an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support and Honda’s latest navigation system, now with voice recognition, Bluetooth connectivity and a back-up camera. Plus, as compared to the body-on-frame construction found in traditional pickups, the Ridgeline’s unibody setup provides significantly more rigidity, too.
Also in the mix: Smooth-riding independent front and rear suspensions, along with the industry’s first in-bed trunk—supplying a full 8.5 cubic feet of lockable storage—and a full complement of safety features, too.
Delivering the innovation customers expect from Honda and the capabilities they demand in a pickup, the 2011 Ridgeline comes to dealerships later this year.
