Innovative Trucking with the 2025 Honda Ridgeline

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is a mid-size pickup truck capable of carrying and towing heavy loads but is also practical for everyday driving or exploring offroad. It provides a smooth, easy ride with plenty of interior comfort to make any drive a pleasure. We want to tell you about some of the many reasons you’ll want to get behind the wheel of this great truck.

Reasons To Love the 2025 Honda Ridgeline

Engine and Performance

The Ridgeline is standard with AWD, making it equally at home for city driving or off-roading. When you pop the hood, you’re greeted by a slick, fuel-efficient 3.5L V6 aluminum-block direct-injection engine capable of 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission and has a hill start assist.

This engine features Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), allowing it to shut down fuel injectors and deactivate cylinders intelligently when you’re not driving at high speed. VCM technology reduces emissions, lowering wear and tear on the engine and catalytic converter, and saves fuel, meaning fewer trips to the pump without sacrificing performance. When needed, VCM kicks the engine into high gear, delivering top performance.

Connectivity

Everything you need to keep you connected to the digital world is available in the Ridgeline, starting with a 9″ Display Audio touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility allow you to link your smartphone or tablet to the infotainment system quickly and easily. Once connected, you’ll enjoy hands-free connectivity for sending and receiving emails, making and receiving calls, or listening to your smartphone’s saved playlist.

The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System is standard or available, depending on the trim you choose. This system produces 3-D renderings of buildings, road signs, and terrain, making it easier than ever to navigate to your destination. It also provides lane guidance to help keep you on the right track.

Honda Sensing

This advanced range of driver assistance and safety technology is installed in every Ridgeline and helps protect you from potential accidents. These systems watch the area around your vehicle using sonar sensors, specialized cameras, and radar to identify vehicles, pedestrians, animals, or inanimate objects that could cause an accident.

All the systems warn you using visual and audio alerts, and some will actively intervene. The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) uses a camera and radar to detect vehicles ahead. If a vehicle is identified, the system computes the distance between your Ridgeline and the other vehicle and compares it to your present speed. If you’re closing too fast and you haven’t reacted to its warnings, the system automatically applies hard braking to bring you to an instant stop.

These are just a handful of reasons why the Ridgeline is the truck for you. Contact us today at Stirling Honda in Longview, WA.
