The 2026 Honda Ridgeline at Performance Honda Bountiful

The 2026 Honda Ridgeline, now arriving at Performance Honda Bountiful, continues to challenge conventional wisdom in the midsize truck segment. It’s a vehicle built for the realities of modern life in Utah—a perfect blend of rugged capability, car-like comfort, and innovative utility. Unlike traditional body-on-frame trucks, the Ridgeline’s exclusive unibody construction provides a level of ride quality, refinement, and safety that is simply unmatched, while still delivering the toughness and utility demanded of a pickup. This is the truck for the driver who needs a reliable workhorse during the week and a comfortable, adventure-ready vehicle for the weekends, all without compromise.

Powerful Performance for Utah Adventures

Under the hood of every 2026 Honda Ridgeline is a powerful and dependable 3.5-liter V6 engine. This engine generates a robust 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have ample power for towing, hauling, and highway passing. The engine is paired with a smooth and responsive 9-speed automatic transmission that maximizes power delivery and contributes to a respectable EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 18 city / 24 highway / 21 combined MPG on most trims. Furthermore, every single Ridgeline model comes standard with Honda’s highly advanced i-VTM4® All-Wheel Drive system. This system not only provides superior traction in adverse weather conditions like snow and ice but also features torque-vectoring technology that actively sends power to the rear wheel with the most grip, improving handling on dry pavement and enhancing off-road capability. With a standard 5,000-lb towing capacity and Honda’s Intelligent Traction Management System offering Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes, the Ridgeline is truly prepared for any terrain around Bountiful.

Innovative Features That Redefine Utility

The Ridgeline’s true brilliance lies in its exclusive, innovative features that redefine truck utility. The patented Dual-Action Tailgate can open down like a traditional truck tailgate or swing open to the side, providing easy access to the bed from the side or making it easier to load and unload heavy cargo close to the bumper. Beneath the bed floor is the lockable, drainable In-Bed Trunk®, a 7.3 cubic-foot compartment perfect for storing tools, gear, or even ice as a cooler for tailgating. This groundbreaking design allows the Ridgeline to offer the versatility of a truck bed with the secure, hidden storage of an SUV.
