2026 Honda Ridgeline review

Honda Ridgeline: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review

7.9/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Honda Ridgeline is a strong contender in its class. Comfortable ride when unloaded; strong tow and payload ratings for the class. Tall step-in height and some cabin plastics feel basic on base trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $42,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

★★★★☆Victor J. · Tampa, FL · 19 months owned
Good, not perfect

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the towing stability still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Isaiah K. · San Antonio, TX · 11 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

The towing stability is the standout. My only gripe is the fuel bill when towing, which I knew going in.

★★★☆☆Grace P. · San Antonio, TX · 22 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Replaced an older Honda with this one. Big step up in towing stability; I'd like a little more rear-seat room.
