Overview
The 2010 Ridgeline
The Honda SUT Concept vehicle debuted at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and was a demonstration of how a single vehicle can serve as a hub to the world of Honda products such as motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, marine products and power equipment.
Lessons learned from years of producing those products were applied to the SUT Concept with synergy evident in details like a bed that can accommodate Honda's longest off-road motorcycle, conveniently located tie-down cleats with load ratings that can accommodate large ATV's, notches in the bed wall and tailgate for motorcycle tires, and good payload and towing capabilities.
Honda's approach to building a truck was to start with a clean slate and create a unique and integrated overall package with distinct advantages that make it a comfortable people hauler, a confident cargo transporter and a practical everyday driver. Traditional truck buyers have had to forego a secure and integrated trunk, athletic driving performance, fuel economy and some passenger comfort in exchange for utility that often exceeds their needs. The Ridgeline addresses those trade-offs and either eliminates or minimizes the choices that must be made between everyday practicality and all-around utility.
Honda Ridgeline: A Next-Generation Four-Door 4WD Truck
The Honda Ridgeline re-defines what a truck can be with its true half-ton truck payload capability, an interior similar to a full-size truck and the exterior length of a compact truck. Built on a segment-first closed box unibody frame that combines the strength of a ladder frame with the many advantages of a unibody design, the Ridgeline adds refinement, handling performance, innovative In-Bed Trunk™ and packaging previously unattainable with a traditional body-on-frame truck design. Designed to meet the needs of a growing population of consumers purchasing trucks to support their active, outdoor oriented lifestyles, the Ridgeline delivers the right mix of overall truck capability, towing performance, ruggedness and value in a fun-to-drive and responsible vehicle.
The Ridgeline fuses the core capabilities of a truck, including towing, hauling and off-roading, with traditional Honda strengths including high value, world-class engineering, fun-to-drive performance, and exceptional durability, quality and reliability (DQR) – along with industry leading safety and environmental performance.
