Originally introduced in 2006, the Honda Ridgeline has not differed all that much, aside from a few revisions within the past few years.

The Honda Ridgeline in particular has provided Honda with some admirable sales for its 2013 year model. Honda’s primary selling focus for its Ridgeline model is its flexibility in that they designed this truck using standards that are found and appreciated in comfortable everyday passenger vehicles but has the durability of a pickup truck. A unibody comprises its chassis instead of the ...
... traditional body on the frame construction which enhances the mechanical durability. Due to its sole suspensions in the back and front, the Ridgeline operates similar to an everyday vehicle rather than a pickup truck however it still can provide the heavy duty services that you use a truck for.
