The Honda Ridgeline is back and all-new for 2017, with a great blend of SUV and truck-like capability, says Forbes magazine in a recent review.
The new Ridgeline's shape is definitely more truck-like. It also has more room, featuring a longer and winder bed (5.5 inches in both directions) bolted to a dedicated and reinforced cabin built around Honda's trademark ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure.
This degree of cabin reinforcement manifested in two ways. First, during on-road driving Forbes found the Ridgeline’s cabin quiet and its ride quality very un-truck-like (i.e. smooth and refined, even over freeway expansion joints or rough pavement). Second, during off-road driving the Ridgeline again offered a composed ride on smaller bumps while displaying no creaking and groaning under extreme conditions (such as deep, offset ruts or transitions from flat ground to steep climbs). Competitive midsize trucks from Chevrolet and Toyota were available for back-to-back comparisons, making the benefits of unibody construction quite clear.
