2009 Honda Ridgeline


Raw meets refined. The Ridgeline doesn’t move forward, it moves the ground back—without breaking a sweat.

Rock & Roll
Under the hood you'll find a powerplant 3.5-liter, 24-valve SOHC VTEC® V-6 engine that produces 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque for improved towing capabilities.

Capable & Ready
The engine is coupled to an advanced, electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission and fully automatic 4-wheel-drive system.

Tough & Smooth
The Ridgeline's advanced 4-wheel independent suspension and chassis have been designed for towing, hauling and off-road use.

The Ridgeline was designed to give you exactly what you need to get the job done. And with Honda quality built right in, this truck will be with you for the long haul.


Break Tradition
The Ridgeline has an ultra-rigid unit body that’s reinforced with an integrated closed-box frame. This tow-friendly approach gives the Ridgeline extraordinary torsional rigidity.

Tow-Ready
The Ridgeline takes towing seriously. All models come with an integrated Class III trailer hitch. There's also a standard high-capacity radiator with dual 160-watt fans, a heavy-duty power-steering fluid cooler, a high-capacity ATF cooler, and it's pre-wired for a trailer harness (RT) standard on RTS and RTL. Large brake rotors at all four wheels and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) ensure quick and deliberate stops when it matters most.

3.5-Liter, VTEC® V-6 Engine
A 3.5-liter, VTEC V-6 engine gives the Ridgeline optimum power and efficiency. This results in 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The VTEC engine combined with an innovative two-stage intake manifold and a special fresh-air intake system provide power when you need it, with high-end horsepower and low-end torque even during extreme towing conditions. The fresh-air intake draws air from the top of the front grille to protect against dust and water intrusion during launches. You'll power your boat up even the steepest ramp in no time.

Torsional Rigidity
Torsional rigidity refers to how much a truck’s frame twists under the stress of towing, hauling or off-road driving. The integrated closed-box frame design of the Ridgeline gives it many times the torsional rigidity of industry-leading pickups.

• Integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction
• Integrated class III trailer hitch

* Towing requires the addition of the Honda accessory towing kit and hitch ball. Trailer harness standard on RTS and RTL models. Premium unleaded fuel recommended when towing. Refer to the owner's manual for additional towing information.

 

Break Ground
Equipped with a Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) cargo bed, the Ridgeline is specially designed to take your abuse. Its 5-ft bed allows for a thick stack of 4' x 8' plywood sheets to lie flat between the wheelwells and 8 heavy-duty tie-down cleats secure up to 1,100 lbs. of cargo. When you need to tow, the Ridgeline cooperates. A high-output V-6 engine and 4WD system work in perfect unison to pull 5,000 lbs. of anything you put behind it.

Break Stereotype
This truck is every bit as smart as it is tough. Well-designed storage spaces, including the 8.5-cu ft, hidden, lockable In-Bed Trunk® keep toolboxes or other large-size gear secure. Ingenious features like a dual-action tailgate give you the flexibility to unload the bed contents in a way that makes the most sense.

Break the Mold
The Ridgeline is all truck, and all Honda. Have a look below for more details on why the Ridgeline is what a truck should be and more.



Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) Cargo Bed
Most pickup trucks have beds made out of stamped steel. This results in damage over the course of the truck bed's life. The bed in the Ridgeline has a Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) material that's both lighter and stronger than steel. Plus, it’s resistant to dents and gouges. Steel crossmembers underneath the bed maintain integrity to combat the stress of heavy loads.

Cargo Flexibility
The (SRC) cargo bed provides unmatched flexibility, capability and durability. Its 5-ft length approaches that of other full-size crew-cab truck beds, and its 49 1/2-in width between wheelwells is wider than other trucks in its class. Because the wheel arches barely intrude into the bed, a large ATV, two motorcycles or a thick stack of 4-ft sheets of plywood can easily fit. Cargo lights and 8 heavy-duty tie-down cleats make loading simple. And the dual-action tailgate has a 300-lb dynamic load capacity.

Dual-Action Tailgate
The unique dual-action tailgate combines the strength of a conventional truck tailgate with unparalleled flexibility and user-friendliness. It can be swung open like a door, allowing easy access to the bed contents, or it can be lowered like a conventional tailgate. The 300-lb. dynamic-load capacity can safely support the weight of most large loads such as motorcycles and ATVs.
*Honda reminds you to properly secure all items stored in the cargo area.
