Getting into a new Ridgeline, however, will cost buyers more. Honda is eliminating two trim levels: the mid-level RTL-T trim and entry-level RT trim. Without the RT model, the most affordable Ridgeline for 2020 will now be the Sport model, which will cost $34,995 (including a $1,095 destination charge), a $510 price increase over the 2019 Sport and almost $4,000 more than a 2019 Ridgeline RT’s starting price of $31,085.
Other big pickup truck news this week included a federal safety recall of 2017-19 Ford Super Duty pickups for a defect in the seat belt pretensioner that may cause excessive sparks and ignite a fire in models with carpet flooring. Elsewhere, the famous (infamous?) Tesla Cybertruck is also likely to be certified in the same vehicle class as heavy-duty pickups like the Ford Super Duty F-250, according to the manufacturer.
