Powertrains and mpg

A vehicle like the 2017 Honda Ridgeline has to do more than add a bunch of innovative features — it has to alter expectations when it comes to power. It has succeeded, boasting a 3.5L direct-injected i-VTEC V6 engine that can deliver up to 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to ensure an impressive maximum payload capacity of 1,584 pounds and the ability to tow up to a staggering 5,000 pounds.**

At the same time, you’ll stand out from the competition by achieving up to 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway*** in two-wheel drive (2WD) models or 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway*** in all-wheel drive (AWD) models. The available AWD system comes with an Intelligent Terrain Management system, providing separate modes for Normal, Sand, Snow, and Mud, plus torque-vectoring control to instantaneously react to differing terrain conditions.

Even when you’re riding on the highway, you’ll feel more comfortable in the Ridgeline than in competing vehicles. That’s partially due to the fact that the 2017 Ridgeline uses Honda’s all-new unibody Global Platform to ensure outstanding handling and an unbelievably quiet cabin.

Interior

The 2017 Honda Ridgeline offers plenty of space to ensure that you have plenty of room to take fragile objects that wouldn’t be placed in the bed. In fact, its cabin is one of the most versatile cabins in the segment; you can easily flip the rear seats up or down in order to take larger items, such as televisions, or accommodate more passengers. Honda likes to give you options — and with 109.7 cubic feet of passenger volume (or 108.9 in RTL-E and Black Edition models), the 2017 Ridgeline boasts plenty.

Features

Despite its innovative interior and impressive capabilities, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline’s most talked-about features center around entertainment and a very interesting trunk. Here are just a few of the unique amenities that Boulder and Denver drivers can enjoy with the Ridgeline:

• In-Bed Trunk: People often worry about having to leave valuables in the back of the truck. Luckily, the Ridgeline offers a lockable trunk to ensure total peace of mind. There’s even a built-in plug in case you want to fill it with ice and use it as a cooler while tailgating.
• Truck Bed Audio System: The Ridgeline is made for play as much as it is for work. If nothing else convinces you of that, the in-bed audio system will do.
• Dual-Action Tailgate: Unlike other tailgates, the Ridgeline’s doesn’t just fold downwards — you can also open it to the side, providing easier access and safer unloading of larger, heavier items.
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: State-of-the-art connectivity technology can be used to sync your smartphone with the Ridgeline. You’ll then be able to use a variety of its features using the available 8-inch display audio touchscreen.
