2017 Honda Ridgeline – A Refreshed Model to Consider

Honda launched its Ridgeline pickup truck in January 2005 and it went on sale in March as a 2006 model. The first-generation Honda Ridgeline was sold between 2006 and 2014 and with its average sales about 25,000 units per year, it was clear that it wasn’t the best-selling model on the market. However, the Ridgeline pickup was popular among the industry and drivers. And in spite of its sales challenges in the past, Honda made up its mind to launch a second-generation of the Ridgeline. 

Redesigned for 2017, the new Honda Ridgeline is all geared up to appeal both truck and SUV shoppers. Being the perfect blend of open-bed towing and hauling capabilities paired with SUV-like ride and handling, the new Ridgeline comes with an unbeatable flexibility and functionality. Rather than settling down for the best used car deals, why not consider buying the latest midsize truck in market?

The latest Honda Ridgeline is a pickup truck with advanced features and enhanced technology that you would be amazed to know about! The question is whether it is an ordinary car in a truck’s disguise or it is really a sturdy and well-built truck itself? Driving the all-new 2017 Honda Ridgeline is an absolute pleasure as it is smooth and steady at the same time. It can effortlessly carry almost 1600 pounds and glide over rough terrains but still offer a comfortable ride which is nothing less than a miracle.

Only if you could ignore the big empty box in the rearview mirror, Ridgeline exactly resembles a quiet, smooth and decent car with extra emphasis on the ‘quietness’ factor owing to the fact that opening and closing its doors does not produce even the slightest sound. One remarkable thing about Ridgeline is its ease of use and the comfort it offers. It almost offers autonomous off-roading as you don’t even have to engage 4WD or a low-range lever. It is an all-wheel drive because of its advanced traction control system and torque-vectoring abilities.

Ridgeline is 14 inches shorter and about 1 inch skinnier than an F-150 and the FWD base Ridgeline RT is priced at about $29,475. Every Ridgeline has an aluminum 3.5 liter V6 engine that gives 280 horsepower at 6000 RPM and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4700 RPM. Another defining feature is its unibody construction, while pickup trucks usually have a ‘body-on-frame’ architecture.

No matter whether you are planning to buy new trucks or best used cars deals, it is essential to arm yourself as much information as possible. Make use of internet, explore the details and compare the prices before showing up at the dealer’s lot.
