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
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!
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
