Not only presenting the standard variant, Honda also presents a tougher version of this series, namely Ridgeline TrailSport. Specially designed to bulldoze off-road trajectories because they are equipped with a formidable suspension, all-field tires, and steel protection installed at the bottom of the vehicle.

"With each new TrailSport model we present, Honda light trucks are getting tougher than ever, and Ridgeline's off-road performance improvement continues this trend," Lance Woefer, as Assistant Vice President of Honda Auto Sales and American Honda Motor, said on the company's website, Monday, November 6.

Honda Ridgeline 2024 will be available on four trim levels, namely Sport, RTL, New TrailSport with dedicated off-road devices, and Black Edition which is the highest type.

The latest Ridgeline comes with a backdoor that is emblemed 'RIDGELINE' and a grip that gets a new, more sporting pattern.

In addition, the model is equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen with a new processor that can operate faster and support the integration of Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. The audio features on Black Edition types have also been improved.

To improve convenience and functionality, all Ridgeline types benefit from a new central console with larger integrated armbands and expanded storage space. This new central console storage area can accommodate full-sized tablets, while larger storage space in front of the slider can accommodate two large smartphones.

Meanwhile, TrailSport type stands out with its features in particular. TrailSport's exclusive suspension tuning offers a unique spring rate, damping valve tuning, and stabilizer rods to improve off-road driving quality without compromising the convenience of outstanding highways. Coupled with Grabard A/T Sport 245/60R18 tires, this type is capable of increasing traction across a wide range of terrains, including soil, sand, mud, rocky, and snowy.
