The Honda Ridgeline is an approachable and versatile truck the whole family can enjoy

The Honda Ridgeline is a pickup that isn't afraid to stand apart from the crowd. It doesn't pretend to be a truck that ranchers, cowboys, or commercial construction workers will buy, nor does it use a husky voiceover actor for its commercials. Instead, the Ridgeline is an option that is aimed at everyday families - like those from Chatham and Sherman IL - who are looking for a capable vehicle for weekend tasks and daily commuting. Here's what you can find on the Ridgeline - including a comparison of the Ridgeline to the competition.

The Honda Ridgeline is a Powerful and Versatile Way to Travel, Find Yours at Honda of Illinois

A pickup truck is a useful and hard-working means of traveling around, but many drivers often will not turn to one due to their general impracticalities, lack of commuter-friendly energy, and overall lack of versatility as a street-worthy vehicle. Here at Honda of Illinois, we offer one pickup truck which does not conform to that stereotype: the new Honda Ridgeline. This crew-cab pickup truck offers the powertrain you might expect from a light-duty model, with the commuter-friendly efficiency and street worthiness which make it a family-friendly choice with lots of comfort to offer its passengers, in addition to versatility. Check one out for yourself in our new inventory right here at Honda of Illinois, we are located in Springfield, IL on Prairie Crossing.

Powertrain and Versatility!

The Honda Ridgeline is described by many, including Honda itself, to be an "all-purpose" truck, with a standard crew cab configuration which can hold five passengers quite comfortably. Its pickup box is an excellent means of transporting the heavier items in life while its standard engine gives this light-duty truck the competitive edge for towing and hauling. Whether equipped with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, this lighter pickup offers an exceptional payload capacity for transporting heavier luggage as well as a flexible towing capacity, allowing you to transport smaller cargo trailers and even stowable campers, within reason. On the inside of the new Honda Ridgeline in Springfield, IL, you and your backseat passengers will enjoy the roominess of its crew cab, with ample leg room and lots of standard passive and active safety features to keep the well protected including SmartVent® Front Side Airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, child safety seat anchors, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).

Comfort and Style

Just because you've bought or leased a truck doesn't mean you cannot ride in premium comfort. On the higher trims you can find fancy leather-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel, and power-adjustable seating for the driver and the front-seat passenger.

If style is important, go with the top level Black Edition trim that has an exclusive crystal black paint job, moody red ambient lighting, perforated leather seats, and larger black-painted wheels.

Performance

The Ridgeline is available in six trims and all are powered by a 3.5L V6 with 285 horsepower. If you want to trailer between Jacksonville IL and Taylorville, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds on the 2WD model and up to 5,000 pounds on the AWD models.

If you need to put things directly into the truck's bed, you'll want to know the payload. It's up to 1,465 pounds on the 2WD and up to 1,580 pounds on the AWD; get ready to help your friends move that hutch out of their living room.

Truck Bed Versatility

While people who drive Ford F-150's and Ram 1500's might scoff at the Ridgelines tow ratings (which, remember, are aimed at a different type of shopper), they'll certainly get jealous about the model's innovative truck bed. It has an in-bed trunk with an additional 7.3 cubic feet of secure storage and a drain plug, a dual-action tailgate that can open up and down or to the side, and the available in-bed audio system with six speaker makes tailgating or doing yard work more interesting.

Safety and Convenience Technologies

If you want advanced safety features, choose the top two Ridgeline trims. With them you can get Honda Sensing® advanced safety technologies that help with collision avoidance, as well as blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. All trims do come standard with a backup camera and Bluetooth for hands-free calling!
