2023 Honda Ridgeline Specifications

Comfort

The 2023 Honda Ridgeline lineup includes four trims – the Sport, RTL, RTL-E, and Black Edition – all equipped with a long list of included equipment designed to keep everyone comfortable. All trims have standard all-wheel drive, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, and Honda Sensing, a suite of next-gen driver-assist safety systems. Here’s an overview of each Ridgeline trim, along with highlights of the key features that come standard:

The Ridgeline Sport

Honda’s entry-level Ridgeline is anything but a base model. The Sport comes with an array of exterior features designed for optimal utility, including a dual-action tailgate, a lockable “trunk” in the bed for additional storage, and eight tie-downs for stowing cargo. Standard LED headlights, taillights, and fog lights aid visibility while driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The cabin has a push-button start, tri-zone automatic climate control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The Ridgeline RTL

Choose the well-equipped and mid-priced RTL, and you’ll get leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, along with an auto-dimming rearview mirror that takes the glare out of oncoming traffic behind you. Honda also includes a power moonroof with one-touch open and tilt-open functions and a power sliding rear window, which are perfect for sunny, warm days when you’re craving a little extra sunshine and an afternoon of open-air driving.

The Ridgeline RTL-E

Moving up to the RTL-E affords buyers extra luxuries, including a truck-bed audio system tailor-made for tailgate parties and outdoor events. Also included in the bed is a 150-watt/400-watt power outlet. The RTL-E’s cabin feels even more inviting with the addition of standard blue ambient LED lighting, and everyone will enjoy the upgraded 8-speaker audio system. Other standard RTL-E features include a wireless device charger, front and rear parking sensors, and two 2nd-row USB charging ports.

The Ridgeline Black Edition

Sitting at the top of the Ridgeline trim range, the Black Edition includes everything found on the RTL-E and adds trim-exclusive styling upgrades like Black Edition leather interior appointments, 18-inch black alloy wheels, and black exterior accenting. Honda swaps out the RTL-E’s blue ambient lighting for red and incorporates red stitching in the leather-trimmed seating.

Performance

With a 5,000-lb max towing capability, the Ridgeline is ready to haul your boat or RV. Add to that a powerful standard 280-hp V6 engine that achieves impressive fuel economy ratings of 18 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, and the Ridgeline offers a balance of strength and efficiency not typically found with a pickup truck. The efficient V6 is mated to a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission with handy steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

The i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive System

Every Honda Ridgeline includes an i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive System and a selectable Intelligent Traction Management System that lets the driver select between several drive modes, including Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud, that maximize traction, throttle, and braking to meet challenging road and driving conditions. The i-VTM4 system shifts traction from front to rear and left to right for superior handling.

The i-VTM4 system relies on a complex series of adjustments to continuously optimize performance. While these micro-adjustments are invisible to the driver, the result is stable, consistent ride handling that contributes to occupant safety, fuel efficiency, and driver confidence. No matter what Mother Nature throws at you, the 2023 Ridgeline has the capability and engineering technology to tackle even the slipperiest road (or off-road) conditions effortlessly. The best all-wheel drive systems work behind the scenes to keep you safe and in control, and that’s what you get with Honda’s innovative i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive System.

Vehicle Stability Assist

Also behind the scenes are Honda’s Vehicle Stability Assist system with Traction Control and a handy tire pressure monitoring system that helps you gauge how much air you need to fully inflate your tires, eliminating guesswork and the risk of dangerous overinflating. With a payload capacity of 1,583 lbs, the Ridgeline offers plenty of versatility for hauling cargo, and it’s nice to know that even when you’re towing or hauling a bed full of stuff, your Honda Ridgeline has the capability to remain stable and optimize performance.

Safety

It’s no surprise that Honda is on the leading edge of the next generation of automotive safety. With Honda Sensing, Honda demonstrates how technology can be harnessed to optimize occupant safety and ensure drivers remain alert. All 2023 Ridgeline trims come standard with Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assist systems that utilize onboard cameras, sensors, and radar to perform critical monitoring and alert tasks and work in tandem to create a bubble of safety around you.

Honda Sensing

The Honda Sensing suite includes a Collision Mitigation Braking System, which senses when a crash is imminent and automatically performs emergency braking maneuvers to avoid or lessen the severity of a collision. The second system, the Road Departure Mitigation System, also deploys automatic corrective action to ensure your Ridgeline stays in its intended lane of travel when it senses the vehicle drifting out of its lane.

The suite includes monitoring systems such as Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning, which send an audible alert to the driver when the systems sense danger or dwindling attention. Sensors locate potential objects ahead and detect vehicle drift to give the driver a heads-up before proceeding with automatic corrections. Lane Keeping Assist provides gentle steering nudges to edge the driver back to the center of the intended lane of travel.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Also included in Honda Sensing is Adaptive Cruise Control. This system automates speed changes in time with changing traffic flows, eliminating the need for constant braking and cruise control resets. Adaptive Cruise Control mitigates driver fatigue and helps drivers avoid dangerous tailgating. By taking over the mundane task of adjusting speed on long highway drives, drivers can relax and keep their eyes on the road ahead.
