2023 Honda Ridgeline Bed

The versatility of a pickup truck allows you to haul much more than you could with an enclosed SUV or van because of its open bed design. And trucks offer higher towing capacities than most SUVs.

For work trucks, that means hauling everything from mulch to construction supplies and bulky equipment. And as a family vehicle, pickups let you tackle your DIY projects easier and make excursions more fun. You can load up your truck bed with supplies to build that shed you’ve been needing or haul the ATV to your favorite trail near Marion for off-road adventures.

Most manufacturers build truck beds the same way, but Honda designed the Ridgeline’s bed thoughtfully. To begin with, Honda constructed the bed floor from a UV-stable composite material to resist fading, a typical problem with a truck bed’s long-term exposure to the sun. And because the color runs throughout the composite material, scratches don’t show as much as the typical painted metal in other beds.

Every bed measures the same, 64 inches long with the tailgate up and 50 inches wide between the wheel arches. That’s enough to fit standard 4-foot sheets of plywood for your building projects. Folding down the tailgate extends the bed length to 83 inches. Another thoughtful addition to the bed includes the dual-action tailgate. The tailgate swings down and lies flat like a traditional tailgate. But it also swings open on side hinges like a door.

Honda uses high-strength steel cross members that buttress the bed from beneath, allowing for heavy loads. To help secure your payload, Honda installed eight tie-down cleats throughout the bed. Each cleat can hold up to 350 pounds, so you can haul hefty loads without worry. And if you find yourself unloading your camping gear after dark, every Ridgeline has LED lights illuminating the bed and surrounding area.

The Ridgeline bed has a covered nook in the sidelining where you can store smaller items. This area also has a power outlet that transforms your camping and tailgating adventures to greater heights. You get 150 watts of power with the engine off. Turn on the engine, and you boost capacity to 400 watts to operate just about anything.

The lockable trunk is the best and most unique feature of the Ridgeline’s bed. This compartment measures 7.3 cubic feet, which you can use to keep your valuables out of sight and safe. And this trunk can double as a cooler with its removable drain plug.

2023 Honda Ridgeline Exterior

The 2023 Honda Ridgeline has a rugged exterior style. The bold front grille framed by LED headlights and sleek daytime running lights rests ahead of the bulging hood. Fog lamps sit low and wide under dual air intakes for an aggressive stare. Sharp lines along Ridgeline’s side body and 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires give it an athletic profile. The sturdy rear fascia features LED taillights and dual exhaust ports.

Inside, the Ridgeline’s cabin cradles you in premium comfort. Leather upholstery on the heated seats and the leather-wrapped steering wheel add refined style. In addition, Honda installed a tri-zone climate control system to modulate temperature throughout the cabin. And a one-touch moonroof lets you enjoy the airy outdoors on every excursion.

Every Ridgeline has a touch-screen display with pinch, zoom, touch, and swipe capabilities to operate the infotainment system. And multiple USB ports in each row keep everyone powered up and connected.

The infotainment system has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth pre-installed to sync your smartphone for wireless operations. These systems allow you to access your favorite apps, find navigation, and more. A wireless charging pad continues the theme. And you can stream your favorite music inside and outside using the industry’s first in-bed audio system.

2023 Honda Ridgeline Driver Assist Systems

Every Ridgeline comes standard with Honda Sensing, a suite of driver assistance technologies that elevate your Marion commute and keep you safe. These systems use radar, cameras, and high-tech sensors to scan around your Ridgeline.

For example, the collision mitigation braking system can detect a possible accident and provides emergency brake support. And a blind-spot monitoring system alerts you when vehicles are in or entering your blind spots, letting you change lanes confidently. The road departure mitigation system detects when you unintentionally drift from your lane and alerts you. If you react slowly to the alerts, the system provides gentle steering input to return your Ridgeline to its lane.

2023 Honda Ridgeline Performance

Honda installed its 3.5-liter V-6 engine and nine-speed shift-by-wire automatic transmission in every Ridgeline. This powertrain produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel offer a connected and spirited driving experience. And with the Ridgeline’s 5,000-pound towing capacity, you can easily take your bass boat or camper to the lake house.

You also get a capable drivetrain with Honda’s i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. The AWD works with Honda’s Intelligent Traction Management system, giving the Ridgeline impressive control over various road surfaces and weather conditions. And Honda tested the Ridgeline in Minnesota’s Automotive Enviro Testing facility, home to some of the most extreme weather and terrain in the U.S.
