Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
The interior is the Ridgelines stronges point. Comfortable front and back and a feeling a space. The lack of transmission tunnel and column mounted shifter in particular make the front cabin roomy. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Plenty of room and comfort for 5 passengers. Easy to put seats up or down, depending on hauling needs. Rear seat access is easy via the full-size rear passenger doors. Ventilation is good with the rear-vents between the front seats. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Plenty of comfortable seat with the split bench. Can fit a car seat on the smaller right side and still have room for two adults with reasonable leg room. Both sides of the split bench can be easily flipped up for increased storage or down for seating. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
