FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The RTL at $43,595 is the sweet spot for most buyers — it steps up meaningfully from the Sport's $40,795 entry price while stopping well short of the TrailSport and Black Edition territory, and it shares the same 21 MPG combined rating as the Sport.

Every Ridgeline in the lineup uses a 3.5-liter V-6 making 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic and standard AWD — there are no rear-wheel-drive or four-cylinder options.

Both share the same 280 hp V-6, AWD, and 20 MPG combined rating, with the TrailSport+ priced $1,200 higher at $47,195 versus $45,995 — the specific feature additions that justify the premium aren't detailed in the available specs, so it's worth comparing equipment lists at the dealer.

The Black Edition Two-Tone costs $500 more ($47,895 vs. $47,395) and, as the name suggests, adds a two-tone exterior treatment; both trims share identical powertrain specs and a 21 MPG combined rating.

Yes — the TrailSport and TrailSport+ both return 20 MPG combined and 23 MPG highway, while the Sport, RTL, Black Edition, and Black Edition Two-Tone all achieve 21 MPG combined and 24 MPG highway, likely due to different wheel and tire packages on the trail-oriented trims.

The available facts confirm 33.9 cubic feet of cargo volume across all trims, but a precise breakdown of in-bed trunk versus bed capacity specifically isn't available in the provided specs — the 33.9 cu ft figure reflects the Ridgeline's total cargo capacity.
