Key Points  

• Built for real life: The Honda Ridgeline offers a smooth, car-like ride and a roomy cabin, and it can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

When Will the Honda Ridgeline Be Redesigned? 

Honda has confirmed that the Ridgeline is taking a break in 2027 and that a redesigned version is coming in 2028. Since production pauses in between, the current model year trucks are the ones available to buy in the meantime. This gives you a good reason to look sooner rather than later.
