When you’re ready to tackle challenging back roads, tow a boat to the lake, or zip up to the mountains for a ski trip, consider the exciting 2021 Honda Ridgeline midsize adventure truck. For 2021, Honda has redesigned this pickup truck with exterior touches such as dual exhaust ports. 

 

Rugged Looks 

Just looking at the front of the 2021 Honda Ridgeline makes you want to go on an adventure. Choose from four trims, the Sport, RTL, RTL-E, and the Black Edition to find your perfect Honda Ridgeline. You’ll notice that the front of this truck has a square nose, upright grille, and large LED headlights that sit between the crossbar over the grille. 

Foglights are integrated into the dropped fascia, adding to the rugged look of the Ridgeline. The Black Edition trim has black exterior trim and 18-inch black alloy wheels. Or you could make your 2021 Ridgeline stand out by choosing the new Radiant Red Metallic color. 

 

Off-Road Capable 

Under the hood of all trims is a 3.5-liter direct-injected VTEC V-6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This mighty engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission. You can take the 2021 Ridgeline over a variety of terrain with its innovative iVTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. This system sends most of the torque needed for traction or pulling power to the rear wheels. It’s easy to switch driving modes with the Ridgeline’s Intelligent Traction Management system that includes snow, sand, and mud modes. When properly equipped, the Honda Ridgeline can tow up to 5,000 pounds. 

 

Flexible Storage System 

One of the features that make the 2021 Ridgeline unique is its flexible storage system. All trims come with a dual-action tailgate, lockable in-bed trunk, and lay-flat truck bed that provides versatile and flexible ways to store and carry adventure toys such as kayaks or paddleboards. 

 

Modern Interior 

With two rows of seats, up to five people fit inside the 2021 Ridgeline. Cloth seats come standard on the base trim and you get leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel on the three upper trims. 

 

Innovative Technology 

Honda’s infotainment system features an 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. From the touch screen, you can control the truck bed audio system where you can listen to music from the rear of the truck. All trims come with automatic tri-zone climate control, and the three upper trims get a sunroof and power-sliding rear window. Move up to the RTL-E and Black Edition trims to get a wireless charging pad, navigation, and an eight-speaker premium audio system that’s available on the two lower trims. 

 

Honda Sensing Driver-Assist Features 

You’ll have peace of mind driving the 2021 Honda Ridgeline. All trims come equipped with Honda Sensing technology which includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and traffic sign recognition. In addition, the Ridgeline has a forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking and automatic high-beam headlights.
