What's New for 2020 – Honda Ridgeline

The Ridgeline arrives at Tampa Honda dealerships with several minor enhancements, focusing mainly on simplifying trim levels. A recently redesigned nine-speed automatic transmission is available across the line-up, which includes four trim levels: Sport, RTL, RTL-E, and Black Edition. An outdated five-inch infotainment display has been replaced with a fresh eight-inch touchscreen design.

The Honda Ridgeline essentially caters to the consumer looking for a fuel-efficient and comfortable riding pick-up, with interior appointments similar to an SUV. It comes standard with rear-wheel drive, with each trim offering AWD as an upgrade.

What's Under the Hood – Performance and Fuel Efficiency

Honda keeps the powertrain configurations simple with the 2020 Ridgeline. Each trim receives a potent 3.5-liter V-6 engine that belts out 280-horsepower and 262 lb.-ft of torque to standard rear wheel drive. It's coupled to a nine-speed automatic transmission, with a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds (AWD) and 3,500 pounds (RWD).

The 2020 Ridgeline is packed with technology that improves towing capacity such as a high-capacity radiator with two high-power fans, designed to keep that powertrain cool during loads.

A Hill Start Assist is a driver-assisted safety feature that applies brakes with soft pressure while you're starting to climb up hills from a standing start. This helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards and is quite helpful while towing light trailers.

According to EPA-estimates, the 2020 Ridgeline returns 19 miles per gallon in the city and 24 mpg on highways in AWD configuration. 2WD editions achieve the same city mileage but increase by two mpg on highways.

The Honda Ridgeline is a four-door mid-size pickup that seats five adults. The lift-up rear seating is a 60/40-split configuration that also includes nearly three feet of under seat storage. This midsize pick-up also includes push button starting, power door and tailgate locks, and a remote fuel filler door release.

A 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar support is available with the Ridgeline, as is a passenger seat four-way power adjustable seat.

Heated front seats and a leather-trimmed interior is also a nice upgrade offered with the Honda Ridgeline.
