2006 Honda Ridgeline

The all-new Ridgeline 4-door 5-passenger truck offers a number of innovative features including a steel reinforced composite bed, a dual action tailgate, and a lockable watertight storage area located under the truck bed. The Dual Action tailgate can be lowered like a traditional tailgate or swing to the side. Ridgeline has a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 engine that produces 255 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, mated to a standard 5-speed automatic transmission.

Honda’s first pickup truck, the Ridgeline is unlike traditional full-size pickups: it does not have a cargo bed separate from the passenger cab; the bed and cab are integrated, giving the truck a distinctive look. Ridgeline uses a fully integrated closed box frame and unit body construction, and is rated for a half-ton (1,100-pound) bed capacity and 5,000-pound towing capacity. The Ridgeline also features four-wheel fully independent suspension and a fully automatic Variable Torque Management 4-Wheel-Drive System (VTM-4WD) that can transfer up to 70 percent of the available torque to the rear wheels. Ridgeline is offered in three versions: RT, RTS and RTL.
