The RidgeLine


The Ridgeline brings the Hard Edge to Honda.

The 2010 Ridgeline is a tough, durable, powerful, comfortable and practical road going, off road truck. It is capable of going off road and hauling vehicles or supplies while keeping the passengers comfortable and safe. Traction Control and a Tire pressure monitor are all standard on the 2010 Ridgeline. This is the first 4-door pickup to receive 5-stars from the government in both frontal and side impact tests.


First thing you notice when you get in the car is the amount of storage space. The armrest storage compartment is enormous. You will also notice a shelf above the glove box with a power outlet. Storage space is the name of the game for this truck.




In the driver seat you will find all the buttons easy to access. Some buttons may surprise you to where they are, but once you discover them you will like
their new position. For example the washer fluid button is located on the end of the windshield wiper controls, its not a movement of the controls that controls them. Certain buttons are also larger and have rubbery grips that are easier to manipulate with gloves on.




Driven by Gavin Skilton, the Ridgeline successuflly won four races. They had to make several modifications to make the truck ready for the brutal course but Gavin was surprised about how well it came built:
"It's strong enough that the roll-cage will be there just for safety, and not to hold the unibody together," Gavin Stated



"The Ridgeline has unique features that set it apart from the others," Gavin stated.

"It's the only truck racing in the desert with unit-body construction, VTM-
4 and 4-wheel independent suspension."



The Ridgeline is a great truck and would be a great choice for the person who likes the outdoors and isn't afraid of getting dirty sometimes.
