Performance and Specs

The 2026 Honda Ridgeline delivers a perfect blend of power, capability, and everyday comfort. Its 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 engine produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission that makes towing in Lodi, hauling through Elk Grove, and commuting from Sacramento effortless. Standard i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive ensures confident traction on wet, snowy, or uneven roads, while the Intelligent Traction Management system lets drivers choose Snow, Sand, Mud, or Normal modes to match changing conditions. Built on a reinforced unibody frame, the 2026 Honda Ridgeline—for sale now at Lodi Honda—maintains a crossover-like ride while standing up to rugged tasks. Its dent- and scratch-resistant bed measures four feet wide and nearly seven feet long with the tailgate down, ideal for hauling standard 4x8 sheets of plywood, gear, or weekend toys. Roof rails, durable running boards, and an underbody oil pan guard add convenience and protection for off-road adventures. Fuel efficiency remains strong, with most trims achieving 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, while the off-road TrailSport trim is rated slightly lower at 23 mpg highway.
