2025 Honda Ridgeline Review

With its combination of comfort and clever features, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline is designed to enhance your everyday life in Phoenix. This midsize truck offers a spacious and comfortable interior that rivals many SUVs. 

With ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers, even your tallest friends will enjoy the ride. The cabin is the only truck to come with standard tri-zone automatic climate control. That’s just how serious Honda is about taking care of the whole family.

One of the Honda truck’s most unique features is its innovative in-bed trunk. Located beneath the truck bed floor, this lockable and weatherproof compartment provides 7.3 cubic feet of secure storage. It's perfect for stowing away valuables, groceries, or even muddy gear after a day of off-roading.  

And speaking of the truck bed, the Ridgeline's dual-action tailgate can be opened either traditionally or to the side, making it easier to load and unload cargo. Whether you're hauling furniture, bikes, or camping equipment, the Ridgeline's versatile truck bed has you covered.  

For those who enjoy tailgating or spending time outdoors, the available truck bed audio system is a game-changer. This unique feature turns the truck bed into a giant speaker, providing the perfect soundtrack for your next barbecue or picnic at Tempe Beach Park. Bed standards are plentiful, making sure you have everything you need before you ever step up the trim ladder:

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline can keep you connected. Its standard touchscreen infotainment system is your command center, offering intuitive controls and a user-friendly interface. 

With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, you can seamlessly access your favorite smartphone apps, navigation, music, and podcasts. Whether you're commuting to work or embarking on a road trip through Arizona, the Ridgeline keeps you entertained and informed.

Bluetooth connectivity comes standard, allowing for hands-free calling and audio streaming. You can keep your focus on the road while staying connected to friends, family, and colleagues.

And to keep your devices charged, the Ridgeline offers a standard wireless charger and multiple USB ports. No more worrying about your phone dying on a long drive through the desert!

There are four trim levels, including the Sport. The RTL is a value package that offers a luxurious interior with the conveniences that truck owners love most. These crew cabs easily challenge the trim levels of the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and other midsize trucks today.

TrailSport models have a sporty attitude that makes truck ownership more fun. The Black Edition combines a mysterious blacked-out exterior with the maximum interior features.

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is equipped with Honda Sensing, a suite of intelligent driver-assist technologies designed to enhance your awareness and safety on the road. One of these features, the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, uses radar and cameras to detect potential frontal collisions. If a collision seems imminent, the system will alert you and can even automatically apply the brakes to help lessen the severity of an impact or avoid it altogether.

Another helpful feature is the Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM). This system can detect when the Ridgeline starts to drift out of its lane without signaling. If this happens, RDM will gently guide you back into your lane, helping to prevent unintentional lane departures.

For highway driving, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) takes the stress out of maintaining a safe following distance. ACC uses sensors to monitor the distance between your Ridgeline and the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting your speed to maintain a safe gap. This allows you to relax and enjoy the ride, especially on long journeys.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is another feature that helps you stay in your lane. LKAS uses a camera to detect lane markings and can provide subtle steering assistance to help keep the Ridgeline centered in its lane. 

These are just a few of the advanced safety features that make the 2025 Honda Ridgeline a safe and confident choice for Phoenix drivers. 

Always equipped with an all-wheel drivetrain, the Ridgeline is strong and capable. The 280-horsepower engine is assisted by a 9-speed automatic transmission. If it gets hot, there are dual high-power fans on the high-capacity radiator.

Drivers have a snow, sand, and mud mode to help it handle terrain difficulties. Fuel efficiency is encouraged by its variable cylinder management for highway driving and idle stop function for city driving.

Ground Clearance: 7.64 Inches

Payload: 1,583, 1544, 1521, or 1,509 pounds

Imagine yourself cruising down Camelback Road with the windows down, enjoying the spacious cabin and comfortable ride. Or picture the Ridgeline packed with gear for a weekend camping trip to the Superstition Mountains, its all-wheel drive system confidently handling the rugged terrain. With its 5,000-pound towing capacity, you can easily haul your boat to Lake Pleasant for a day of waterskiing or bring your ATV to the desert for some off-road thrills.

The Honda truck’s versatility extends beyond its performance. Its dual-action tailgate and in-bed trunk offer versatility, whether you're hauling groceries from the farmers market or transporting gardening supplies for your backyard oasis.
