2020 Honda Ridgeline Review

from the Cars.com expert editorial team

What Is the 2020 Honda Ridgeline?

Sharing several design strategies with the Honda Pilot SUV, the Honda Ridgeline is a five-seat mid-size pickup truck. It’s powered by a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that works with a new nine-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are offered. Competitors include the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. 

What’s New on the 2020 Honda Ridgeline?

The Honda Sensing suite of active safety features is now standard. Honda Sensing includes collision mitigation braking, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control. An 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is also standard. Other changes include a remote-locking tailgate and wider-opening rear doors.  

What Features in the 2020 Honda Ridgeline Are Most Important?

Unlike other mid-size pickup trucks, the Ridgeline has a trunk built into the floor of its cargo box, and its tailgate can either flip down or open from the side to provide easier access to the cargo bed. A cargo-bed audio system is also available. 

Should I Buy the 2020 Honda Ridgeline?

If you’re looking for a pickup truck that rides well, is quiet and has useful storage areas in both the cab and cargo bed, the Ridgeline is worth a look. It’s at its best in on-road driving situations, and its well-rounded performance was enough for it to take first place in Cars.com’s 2019 Mid-Size Truck Challenge.

Very comfortable driving and riding midsize truck

by David from Dassel MN on January 8, 2021

Vehicle is very versatile, unique features, decent mpg, and very comfortable. The tailgate swings as norm but also opens like car door. The back seat gets out of the way when needed Read full review

LOVE IT!

by tnkelley from Gilbert, AZ on January 5, 2021

After test driving so many vehicles from a Jeep to a Subaru to an F-150, this truck is AWESOME. It glides on the road, is quiet and comfortable, easy to drive, and has more bells and whistles than you... Read full review

Warranty FAQs

What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty?

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties.

What is a Powertrain warranty?

Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

What is included in Roadside Assistance?

Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire changes and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).

What other services could be included in a warranty?

Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil changes, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car.

What does CPO mean?

A certified pre-owned or CPO car has been inspected to meet minimum quality standards and typically includes some type of warranty. While dealers and third parties certify cars, the gold standard is an automaker-certified vehicle that provides a factory-backed warranty, often extending the original coverage. Vehicles must be in excellent condition and have low miles and wear to be certified, which is why off-lease vehicles feed many CPO programs.
