Standing out from the competition with its unique unibody construction, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline excels not only as a workhorse but also as a comfortable daily driver. It offers impressive handling, a smooth ride, and a quiet, refined interior. Designed with classic truck features, the Ridgeline comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD), a bed spacious enough to hold 4x8 sheets of plywood, and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Truck enthusiasts in Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, Shingle Springs, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova appreciate the lockable in-bed storage bin, which includes a built-in drain, transforming it into a cooler for weekend tailgate parties. Under the hood, the 2025 Ridgeline is powered by a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 280 horsepower, paired with a responsive nine-speed automatic transmission. After a long workday, you’ll enjoy sinking into the Ridgeline's comfortable and upscale interior, featuring a practical center console, spacious seats, and all the technology you need to stay connected. In this review, Folsom Lake Honda will guide you through the specifications of this capable truck, including engine details, interior features, and the four primary trim levels available on our lot: Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and Black Edition.

Engine Specifications and Fuel Efficiency

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline boasts one of the most powerful engines in its class, featuring a 3.5-liter V6 that delivers an impressive 280 horsepower and enables towing capacities of up to 5,000 pounds. Its i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system, coupled with Intelligent Traction Management, provides three distinct modes to effectively handle different terrains, including mud, snow, and sand. The Ridgeline's nine-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth shifting and provides ample passing power, achieving 0-60 mph in just 6 seconds. We particularly appreciate the responsive steering and four-wheel independent suspension, which contribute to a refined and comfortable ride that surpasses many competitors. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Ridgeline performs well within its class, with EPA estimates of 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. However, if you choose the TrailSport trim equipped with all-terrain tires, the highway mileage slightly decreases to 23 mpg.

Interior and Exterior Features

Understanding the daily demands placed on a truck, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline features a bed constructed from dent-resistant plastic, providing 33.9 cubic feet of enclosed space and an additional 7.3 cubic feet of lockable under-bed trunk space to keep your valuable items secure and out of sight. With a width of 50 inches, the bed easily accommodates 4x8 sheets of plywood, and practical features like bed lighting, robust tie-down cleats, and a tailgate that swings open like a side door make loading and unloading effortless. Inside, the Ridgeline offers a spacious cabin that comfortably seats five passengers, with 60/40 split lift-up rear seats for added versatility. The rugged yet sophisticated exterior design hints at the premium amenities within, which include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, available leather-trimmed upholstery, and an optional 10-way power driver's seat. Additional luxuries such as a one-touch power moonroof and a spacious center console that can store a 10-inch tablet and features a USB port for device charging enhance the experience. For connectivity, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline comes equipped with a large 9-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Every model also includes a standard wireless phone charger, ensuring all your tech needs are met while on the go.

Trim Levels

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is available on our lot in Rancho Cordova, featuring four main trim levels, each equipped with standard all-wheel drive and all-season tires: Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and Black Edition. Customers visiting Folsom Lake Honda can also explore the Sport+, RTL+, and TrailSport+ variants, which come with all-terrain tires on distinctive wheels. Starting with the Sport model, this base trim is well-equipped with all-season tires, a dual-action tailgate, an integrated trailer hitch, and a convenient in-bed trunk. Inside, you’ll find tri-zone automatic climate control, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, and blind-spot monitoring for added safety. The RTL trim adds practical enhancements, including heated side mirrors, a power-sliding rear window, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a moonroof for a touch of luxury. For those seeking rugged off-road capability, the TrailSport model features all-terrain tires, a trail-tuned suspension, and steel underbody protection. It builds on the RTL with power-folding side mirrors, leather seats adorned with orange stitching, a heated steering wheel, navigation, all-weather floor mats, and front and rear parking sensors. At the top of the lineup, the Black Edition offers a sleek and sophisticated appearance, showcasing gloss-black wheels, a unique grille, and black exterior trim accents. The interior is elevated with luxurious upgrades, such as ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, red-accented perforated leather upholstery, and red contrast stitching. Additional features include red ambient lighting and embossed Black Edition logos on the floor mats and seats, making this trim truly stand out.
