2026 Honda Ridgeline Feature Sheet

Up to 5,000 lbs on every 2026 Ridgeline trim when properly equipped with the Honda accessory trailer hitch. The unibody construction and 3.5L V6 with 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque deliver smooth towing — most GTA Ridgeline owners tow small-to-medium travel trailers, boats, ATVs, or snowmobile trailers without issue. The truck bed also supports 1,500 lbs of payload.

It is a real truck — unibody construction (like the original Honda Pilot and many modern SUVs), independent rear suspension (better ride than body-on-frame trucks), and a lockable In-Bed Trunk under the bed floor (a Honda exclusive). The unibody + IRS setup means it rides and handles like an SUV even when loaded. Henry's take: for GTA truck buyers who rarely go off-road and value ride comfort over maximum tow capacity, Ridgeline is the right truck. For heavy towing or serious off-road, look at the Toyota Tacoma or Ford F-150.

5'4" (about 1.63 m) long, with 4'4" between the wheel wells. The bed has the dual-action tailgate (opens down or to the side), 8 tie-down cleats, and the lockable 7.3 cubic foot In-Bed Trunk under the rear floor. The total bed volume including the In-Bed Trunk is among the largest in the midsize truck class.

Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln, Alabama — same plant as the Odyssey, Passport, and Pilot. The Ridgeline has been Alabama-built since 2006 (with a brief gap when it was discontinued in 2014 and brought back in 2017). Not Canadian-built like Civic and CR-V.

No — every 2026 Ridgeline uses the 3.5L V6 with a 9-speed automatic. Honda has not announced a hybrid Ridgeline. The closest hybrid alternative for a truck buyer is the Ford Maverick Hybrid (smaller, FWD only, lower tow rating). For a hybrid Honda with similar capability, the closest match today is the CR-V Hybrid — but it can't tow or haul like the Ridgeline.
