TORRANCE, California, Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the second consecutive year, the Honda Ridgeline has been named to the Car and Driver magazine list of the 10Best Trucks and SUVs as their choice in the Mid-Size Pickup category. For the awards, Car and Driver tested vehicles on the unique attributes for their respective segments, including ride and handling, safety features, technology, comfort, practicality and fuel efficiency. The 2nd-generation Ridgeline – completely redesigned for the 2017 model year – excels in each of those areas due to its unique construction and extent of standard and available features.
The Ridgeline utilizes a highly rigid, aerodynamic and tightly sealed unitized body that delivers up to three times the torsional rigidity of competing body-on-frame trucks. The body together with the chassis, which features fully independent front and rear suspension systems with Amplitude Reactive Dampers, provide vastly superior ride comfort and handling precision along with the top-in-class cabin quietness.
Along with excellent drivability and NVH characteristics, the 2018 Ridgeline has the largest and most flexible cabin in its class along with robust cargo-hauling and towing capabilities, including a class-leading maximum 1,584-pound (718.5 kg) payload capacity (varies by trim) and up to 5,000-pound (2,268 kg) towing, the Ridgeline offers a higher degree of utility and versatility.
