The 2011 Honda Ridgeline is unchanged.
The Ridgeline's V6 puts down 250 horsepower and a modest 247 pound-feet of torque. While the 2011 Honda Ridgeline is all the truck many pickup buyers will ever need, it's not for everybody.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Honda Ridgeline midsize pickup truck is offered in a single four-door crew-cab body style with seating for five. The entry-level RT is reasonably well equipped with standard features that include 17-inch steel wheels, a power-sliding rear window, air-conditioning, a 60/40-split-folding rear seat with under-seat storage, full power accessories, cruise control, a trip computer and a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with an auxiliary audio jack.
The RTS adds 17-inch alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver seat and an upgraded seven-speaker audio system with a six-CD changer and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. Power flows through a five-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system. EPA estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg city/20 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined, which is mediocre considering the truck's modest power.
Safety
Every Ridgeline comes standard with antilock brakes (with brake assist), stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor and front seat active head restraints.
The 2011 Honda Ridgeline has not been rated using the government's new, more strenuous 2011 crash-testing procedures. Controls and surfaces inside the 2011 Honda Ridgeline run big -- as in Tonka big. There's something charming in the Ridgeline's rugged, work-ready eagerness to please.
Driving Impressions
By pickup standards, the 2011 Honda Ridgeline is pleasant to drive.
