Expert 2025 Honda Ridgeline review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors

our expert's take

What Is the 2025 Honda Ridgeline?

The Honda Ridgeline is a mid-size crew-cab pickup truck with generous room for up to five adults. A 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 coupled to a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive is standard on every trim. What sets the Ridgeline apart is its carlike ride and handling, which makes it ideal for truck shoppers who don’t want to feel like they’re piloting a truck. In the debit column, however, is the fact that the Ridgeline is much less customizable and not as capable off-road as rivals like the Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Nissan Frontier.

What’s New on the 2025 Honda Ridgeline?

After a mild refresh for 2024 that included the addition of an off-road-themed TrailSport trim, the Ridgeline is carried over for 2025 with no changes.

What Features in the 2025 Honda Ridgeline Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 9-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Tri-zone climate control
  • Remote start
  • Honda Sensing suite of active safety features
  • Dual-opening tailgate
  • Hidden trunk in cargo bed
  • Two USB ports
  • LED headlights

Available features include:

  • Wireless device charging
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Power moonroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Truck-bed audio system
  • Cargo-box power outlet
  • Navigation
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Blind spot warning

Should I Buy the 2025 Honda Ridgeline?

The Honda Ridgeline is a compelling pick for car shoppers who want pickup-truck utility but don’t want to give up carlike handling and comfort. Its agility makes it ideal for zipping through city traffic, and its 280-hp V-6 is refined. Yet there’s no getting around the fact that the Ridgeline’s rivals offer far more choices when it comes to powertrain options, not to mention higher towing and hauling capacities, too.

  • I was originally searching for an SUV.

    I was originally searching for an SUV. Trading in my high mileage Toyota Camry with way too much road noise, I was looking for the same reliability and an engine with the same "get up and go". I was attracted to the low percentage financing on both Toyota and Honda trucks, I am retired and now I can leave my funds in my IRA and pay a low interest rate and continue to gain in my investments, and not pay the income tax on a one time withdrawal. I love the quiet ride of the Ridgeline. The Honda is easier for me to get into. It is more like getting into an SUV than the Toyota Tacoma. The V6 engine gives me the ability to get around slow moving vehicles safely on two lane roads. I love the ride of my Ridgeline which is more like an SUV because it is on a car chassis not a truck chassis, but I can haul larger items than an SUV. I was also attracted to the Ridgeline because it is already set up to pull my small trailer for my ATV. I love the swing out tailgate for reaching into the back. The roomy trunk in the bottom of the truck bed is amazing, and holds so many misc items and groceries. My Honda Ridgeline will be so much help when I need to take my daughters wheel chair on trips. I have not tested out the All Wheel Drive, but I am looking forward to it's assistance in the Sand Dunes. I have put almost 2000 miles since my purchase a month ago. I Love my Honda Ridgeline

  • I started my truck search looking at full-size trucks,

    I started my truck search looking at full-size trucks, but honestly didn’t want the exterior size to be that big. Just on a side, have you noticed how a lot of the worst drivers on the road are driving the big full-size trucks? I didn’t know the purpose of having a Hemi to actually run people off the road. You know what I mean? That dude is barreling down the interstate doing about 87mph pulling a big @$$ box trailer and he’s like fish tailing all over the place? Anywho, back to the review... I drove a Jeep Gladiator, a Tacoma, a Colorado and the Nissan Frontier. The Gladiator was almost scary on the highway. Lots of wind noise and blowing me all over the place even at the lower highway speeds around 55-60mpg. For that reason, it didn’t make sense to me as a daily driver on paved roads. While the new Colorado and Tacoma have that brawny stance, neither of them have a V6. What’s the deal with the 4 banger turbo thing? It’s like Arnold Schwarzenegger in that old Christmas movie, “Jingle All The Way.” “I have to get the “Turbo Man!!” What they are not telling you about the 4 cylinder turbo stuff is that even if a 4 cylinder engine has the power of Ivan Drago in Rocky 4, it is working harder to produce that power compared to the naturally aspirated V6. Multiple mechanics I know personally have said the same thing. Inside, both Tac and Colorado were small and cramped. At first glance, you think they are going to be bigger inside than they are. This was disappointing and strange given how the outside is larger than the prior generations of those two trucks. An odd tech. thing about the Colorado was that you actually turn the headlights on using the touch screen. I also thought that the inside materials in the Colorado felt cheap. That glossy plastic stuff if you know what I mean. I liked the tow rating, but decided to keep shopping. The Frontier was actually my second favorite truck behind the Ridgeline. The naturally aspirated V6 instead of the turbo was already setting it above the other trucks. Then, I drove the Ridgeline and it was like Wow!! This thing rocks!! Honda’s proven reliable V6, smooth driving, yet flexible enough on the dirt or gravel roads, I can fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat in the bed because there’s no stupid wheel well hump. I absolutely love the tailgate swing out! It gets my body closer to whatever goods I am lifting out of the back instead of having to lean forward. Honda nailed it with this feature! Plus, let me just say that Ridgeline’s interior almost feels like a full size truck. I have tall teenage boys and the first thing they said when they got in the Ridgeline was “Wow dad!! This is nice and big inside!” Plus, as roomy as it is, I like that Ridgeline fits in a standard garage space too! If you get heavy rains, or it happens to snow, it’s nice to be covered when you want to be. You’ve got drive settings for different terrain and that suits my needs. Another reviewer said the Ridgeline meets the needs of 80% of people driving trucks and he nailed it with that statement. it’s absolutely true. A lot of people are driving big trucks and Jeeps and they never actually use them for the purpose they are intended for. You have those folks that don’t actually need 4 wheel drive. If you’re like me, you want a truck that gives you the utility you need, want to grab some landcape supplies, sheet goods, farm or garden stuff, and rides awesome on both paved and gravel or dirt roads, this is the truck for you. Don’t you love these guys with Jeep fantasies that make stupid videos criticizing Honda trying to create skepticism like…. “Can it do any serious off roading?” You can’t criticize it for something it’s not designed for. If you want a rock crawler you get a Jeep or something similar (locking differential, higher ground clearance, a lift, bigger rubber etc,).

  • My 5th Ridgeline.

    My 5th Ridgeline. 2008-2025. Does everything I need from a truck as an owner of a small home. 24MPG highway and 19 around town. Never even had a check engine light come on with any of my five. MUCH roomier than Taco, Frontier, Ranger or Colorado. Wider and absolutely NO CONTEST for back seat room. The only true mid-size suitable for a growing family.

  • I bought my 2025 Ridgeline black edition 4 days ago and

    I bought my 2025 Ridgeline black edition 4 days ago and am amazed at how good of a vehicle it is. It does everything I want a truck to do from hauling 2 recliners in the bed, getting bags of mulch, and cruising around town running errands. Plus the tow package is really handy if I want to pull a uhaul trailer in the future as I tend to rent them a couple times a year for different projects. I drove a 2005 tundra for 17 years, a 1998 Tacoma for 3 years, and a mazda B2300, and I liked them all but the ridgeline is far and away the nicest, smoothest driving, most comfortable and feature laden truck I have ever owned. The only negative I can think of is that I wish the bed was 6 feet long like the Tacoma long-beds. I liked the 6' bed on my Tundra but I knew the bed length when I bought the truck so I can't fault Honda for it. The trunk under the bed and 2-way tailgate MORE than make up for the missing 8" of bed length.

  • Not a big enough engine for the size of this vehicle.

    Not a big enough engine for the size of this vehicle. No pick up. First day I got the car it had a rip in the back seat. Honda had a technician repair it and there was the glue from the repair left on back seat . Had to clean it off. For the money you spend they should have replace the seat instead of repairing it. For one an done with Honda product.
