Published on Oct 28, 2025 by Evan Riley

Guess what? The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is here, and it’s making waves in the midsize truck category! Known for its immense versatility and well-rounded features, the Ridgeline continues to push boundaries. No matter if you’re seeking a vehicle for off-road adventures, need a reliable truck for your daily commute, or desire a mix of both, the 2025 Ridgeline has it all. Packed with handy tech features and practical upgrades, this year’s model is a true game-changer in the world of trucks.

 

We are extremely excited to showcase the 2025 Honda Ridgeline and the hefty list of new features that make this vehicle stand out from the competition. From its enhanced performance capabilities to its next-level interior and advanced tech offerings, the Ridgeline is dressed to impress. Join us as we dive into what’s new and explore why this truck continues to be a great choice for Honda enthusiasts and truck lovers alike. Let’s learn why the new Ridgeline has everything you need for a smooth, powerful, and enjoyable ride.

Packing in Power While Still Being Efficient

Honda consistently makes the Ridgeline a reliable performer, and the 2025 model, though a carryover, retains plenty of power. Under the hood, the Ridgeline is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering an impressive 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission, the V6 creates an exhilarating yet controlled ride.

 

Fuel efficiency is an area in which Honda vehicles excel. Honda has worked to refine the Ridgeline’s powertrain over the years, balancing power and fuel economy. With an EPA-estimated 18 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, this truck keeps you on the road longer without constant stops at the pump.[a]

 

What’s more, the Ridgeline’s 5,000-pound max towing capacity means this truck is ready for any task. Coupled with the Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel drive system, this truck is built to handle all types of terrain with ease. Whether it’s snow, sand, or gravel, the Ridgeline adapts to gain maximum grip and stability.

Redefining Comfort With the Spacious and Refined Interior

While many trucks focus on rugged exteriors, the 2025 Ridgeline emphasizes interior comfort and quality in a way that few trucks can match. The Ridgeline’s cabin is utterly spacious, well-appointed, and packed with features. With room for five passengers, the Ridgeline provides a refined feel.

 

What sets the Ridgeline apart from its competitors is its mixture of practical utility with upscale touches. The available leather-trimmed seats and heated front seats add an extra layer of luxury, packing more comfort into each drive. The driver’s seat offers 10-way power adjustment so that you can find the perfect driving position no matter your height or preferences.

 

Meanwhile, the standard tri-zone automatic climate control delivers comfort to those in both rows of seats no matter what the weather is like outside. Honda gives the Ridgeline plenty of noise-canceling technologies, making the cabin quieter than ever, so you can enjoy conversations or your favorite playlist without distractions from the road. The Ridgeline’s rear seat bottoms fold up, allowing for added cargo space when needed, making it an incredibly versatile vehicle both inside and out.

Next-Level Technology With Advanced Connectivity and Safety

Make no mistake, the Ridgeline is a tech-friendly truck that’s loaded with highly desirable features. The nine-inch color touchscreen system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, helping you stay connected while out and about. Honda’s available satellite-linked navigation system, which includes voice recognition and Honda HD digital traffic, is also a great option for those who need precise guidance during their travels.

 

Additionally, the available premium audio system takes your on-the-road entertainment to a whole new level. The system’s eight speakers provide a stunning 540 watts of power, so you can enjoy your favorite music wherever you go, turning the Ridgeline into the ultimate companion. With an included subwoofer, this system is sure to delight audiophiles.

 

On the safety front, Honda continues to prioritize driver and passenger protection. The 2025 Ridgeline includes the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies as standard equipment. This package includes a wide range of advanced safety features such as a Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Road Departure Mitigation. There are also plenty of active safety systems (including Brake Assist) and passive safety systems (such as the SmartVent airbags). Preventing collisions and minimizing impacts are the objectives, and Honda hits the nail on the head.

An Exterior Built for Adventure

The 2025 Ridgeline’s facade is as rugged as it is refined, even with minimal changes having been made. The Ridgeline has a modern front grille paired with sleek LED headlights. This enhances the Ridgeline’s presence on the road, while the aerodynamic body lines not only improve aesthetics but also boost fuel efficiency. This year’s Ridgeline strikes the perfect balance between form and function, proving that a truck can be both tough and stylish.

 

One of the standout features of the Ridgeline is its versatility, and that’s evident from the design of the truck bed. The Dual-Action Tailgate is a real upgrade, allowing it to open downwards like a traditional tailgate or swing open to the side for easier access to the in-bed trunk. This lockable, weather-resistant trunk provides additional storage, making it perfect for stashing tools, groceries, or camping gear. For those who love the great outdoors, the truck bed also includes built-in tie-down cleats and an available power outlet, making sure that your adventure gear is always ready to go. You can even store wet or dirty gear in the trunk since it’s easy to clean and drain when needed. For camping trips, tailgate parties, or weekend DIY projects, the Ridgeline’s functional truck bed sets it apart from other midsize trucks.

Honda Service Pass Adds a Lot of Value
