FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The RTL at $43,595 is the sweet spot for most buyers — it steps up meaningfully from the entry Sport ($40,795) while stopping well short of the TrailSport-oriented trims that push past $46,000. If you don't need off-road-focused hardware, the RTL gives you the most comfort-oriented content per dollar in the lineup.

Both share the same 3.5L V-6, AWD, 9-speed automatic, and fuel economy (18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, 20 mpg combined), with the TrailSport+ priced $1,200 higher at $47,195 versus $45,995. The TrailSport+ adds content over the base TrailSport, though the powertrain and efficiency figures are identical between the two.

The Sport, RTL, Black Edition, and Black Edition Two-Tone all return 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The TrailSport and TrailSport+ trim slightly lower at 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined — a modest trade-off for their off-road-oriented setup.

The Ridgeline's unibody construction gives it a noticeably smoother, car-like ride and a lockable in-bed trunk that body-on-frame rivals like the Tacoma, Gladiator, and Colorado can't match. The trade-off is less off-road articulation and lower towing/payload than traditional truck-frame competitors — it suits buyers who prioritize daily comfort and clever cargo utility over serious trail or towing work.

Yes — AWD is standard across all six trims, from the Sport through the Black Edition Two-Tone. There is no two-wheel-drive option in this lineup.

Every Ridgeline uses a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a 9-speed automatic, producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That output is consistent across all trims; no higher-output or turbocharged option exists in this lineup.
