The refreshed 2024 Honda Ridgeline rolls into dealerships with updated technology, a new TrailSport trim, and a higher price, Honda disclosed Tuesday. The pickup truck based on the Honda Pilot now costs $950 more than the 2023 Ridgeline, starting at $41,125 (including a $1,375 destination fee) for the base Sport model.<\/p>\n
The cosmetic changes to this iteration of the Ridgeline are minor, with the Ridgeline name stamped big and bold across a tailgate that still swings down like a traditional tailgate or swings out like a door. A more significant change happens in the cabin with a new console with built-in armrests and deeper storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Ridgeline comes well equipped with a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster and a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with a faster processor and less lag, according to Honda. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless start, and power windows and door locks are also standard.<\/p>\n
Honda equips the Ridgeline with standard driver-assist features including automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and adaptive cruise control. A rear-seat reminder is also standard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The RTL adds more comfort and convenience features at $43,955, which is $800 more than last year. Blind-spot monitors are added, as are a power-sliding rear window, an acoustic windshield for a quieter cabin, a satellite radio trial, power front seats that are heated, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sunroof.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every Ridgeline uses a 3.5-liter V-6 that delivers 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque; it’s a carryover engine and not the cleaner version with less emissions than the one used in the redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot. The Ridgeline has a 9-speed automatic, standard all-wheel drive, and an EPA rating of 18 mpg city, 24 highway, 21 combined. The Ridgeline rides on 18-inch wheels with all-season tires.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Except for the new TrailSport trim. It costs $46,355, and rides on\u00a018-inch wheels with 245\/60R General Grabber All-Terrain Sport tires that cost it 1 mpg combined. Honda says the suspension is tuned for more articulation, and a steel skid plate covers the oil pan. The redesigned 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport edition received similar updates. The Ridgeline TrailSport also has all-season rubber floor mats and orange contrast stitching on the upholstery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The $47,725 Black Edition tops the lineup with blacked out exterior trim elements and other upgrades.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
