2026 Honda Ridgeline Review
Meet the 2026 Honda Ridgeline at Folsom Lake Honda
Looking for the pickup truck with the smoothest ride? The 2026 Honda Ridgeline delivers exactly that. With its unibody construction and independent rear suspension, it offers a smooth, refined ride that makes city streets and long trips equally enjoyable. Inside, the cabin is spacious and strategically designed, featuring versatile seating and clever storage for families and gear alike. Under the hood, a 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, allowing the Ridgeline to tow up to 5,000 pounds with confidence. Advanced tech keeps drivers connected, including a standard 9-inch Display Audio touchscreen, wireless phone charging, and an available in-bed audio system that turns the tailgate into a portable party. The 2026 Ridgeline is available in trims to suit every lifestyle: Sport, RTL, TrailSport, TrailSport+HPD Wheels, Black Edition, and Black Edition Two-Tone. Drivers in Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Shingle Springs will appreciate how this midsize pickup combines everyday comfort with serious capability. Visit Folsom Lake Honda to explore our full 2026 Ridgeline review and see why it stands out in versatility, technology, and style.
Performance and Capability
The 2026 Honda Ridgeline, available now at Folsom Lake Honda, delivers confident traction and impressive power for drivers who want both capability and comfort. Every trim comes standard with Honda’s i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive system, helping Rancho Cordova and Sacramento drivers maintain control in rain, snow, or off-road conditions. At the heart of the Ridgeline is a 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 engine producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration and confident towing. The Intelligent Traction Management system lets Elk Grove and Folsom drivers select Snow, Sand, Mud, or Normal modes, adjusting throttle, torque distribution, and transmission behavior to handle changing surfaces with ease. Built on a reinforced unibody frame, the Ridgeline combines rigidity and durability with a crossover-like ride. Its truck bed measures nearly seven feet long with the tailgate down and four feet wide, resisting dents and scratches while hauling bulky cargo like standard 4x8 sheets of plywood. Roof rails with crossbars make it easy for Roseville and Shingle Springs adventurers to transport bikes, skis, or other outdoor gear, while die-cast aluminum running boards and an underbody oil pan guard protect the truck on rough terrain. Fuel efficiency remains strong across the lineup, with most trims achieving an estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The off-road TrailSport trim is rated 23 mpg highway, reflecting its more aggressive tires and specialized suspension. With a balance of power, versatility, and efficiency, the 2026 Ridgeline is ready for work, weekend fun, or everyday driving.
Interior Highlights
The 2026 Honda Ridgeline offers a cabin that’s both comfortable and versatile. With ample headroom and legroom for up to five passengers, it sets the standard for practicality in the midsize truck segment. Rancho Cordova drivers will enjoy the 60/40 split lift-up rear seats, which create a flexible cargo area for everything from groceries to a full-size bicycle without compromising passenger space. Premium touches enhance every drive. Available leather-trimmed seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support deliver all-day comfort. The wide, redesigned center console adds smart storage, large enough for a full-size tablet, with conveniently placed USB ports to keep devices powered and organized. With thoughtful design, flexible storage, and upscale features, the 2026 Ridgeline proves that a midsize truck can be as practical as it is enjoyable to drive.
Trim Options
The 2026 Honda Ridgeline lineup delivers a range of trims designed to match different lifestyles, combining comfort, capability, and everyday practicality in a midsize pickup. The Sport trim lays the foundation with standard i-VTM4 all-wheel drive, a 280-horsepower V6, Intelligent Traction Management, and a durable composite truck bed with a dual-action tailgate. Inside, drivers will find cloth seating, an intuitive touchscreen display, tri-zone automatic climate control, and Honda Sensing safety features for confidence on every drive. The RTL adds refinement with leather-trimmed seating, a power moonroof, heated front seats, and a 10-way power driver’s seat. Exterior upgrades like power-sliding rear glass and power-folding mirrors enhance convenience, while enhanced sound insulation creates a quieter, more comfortable cabin. For off-road enthusiasts, the TrailSport trim offers all-terrain tires, unique suspension tuning, skid plates, and rugged styling cues. Inside, orange stitching, TrailSport badging, and water-resistant upholstery make the cabin adventure-ready, while roof rails and recovery points expand capability. The TrailSport+HPD Wheels builds on this with 18-inch HPD black alloy wheels and signature TrailSport styling. At the top, the Black Edition combines bold style with premium comfort—gloss-black exterior accents, exclusive black wheels, illuminated door sills, red ambient interior lighting, premium leather seating, a wireless phone charger, and upgraded audio. The Black Edition Two-Tone elevates style further with a black roof, Black Edition interior, and matching exterior trim for a striking look.
