    Spying: 2016 Honda Ridgeline

      Our First Real Look At the 2016 Honda Ridgeline

    Honda has a big product offensive coming soon and one of those key products is the new Ridgeline. Unlike the old model which had some clever ideas, but never made it on the sales chart, Honda is making more of an effort to make the next Ridgeline more 'truck'. A new set of spy shots show us how more 'truck' the Ridgeline will become.

     

    The Ridgeline looks be adapting conventionally shaped crew cab rather than the oddly shaped one from the previous model. The front end looks to have same front end styling as the new Pilot. The Pilot will share its underpinnings with the Ridgeline as well, meaning it will get the 3.5L V6 and all-wheel drive system. A six-speed automatic will be standard transmission, but a nine-speed automatic is in the cards.

     

    The Ridgeline is expected to be shown sometime this year, with sales beginning sometime next year.

    "Honda has a big product offensive coming soon and one of those key products is the new Ridgeline."

     

    Yes...the Honda Ridgeline IS offensive...Its offensive to its peers as it calls itself a truck....when it really isnt.

     

    Yeah...I know...the article states that this version will be more "truck"...Truck is in quotation marks from the article...the Ridgeline will continue to be offensive...even more so this time around against its pick-up truck brethren as now...it will lie to try to pass off as a "truck", at least with the last generation...it just called itself a "truck" but it didnt try to hide the fact that it wasnt....this time around...it will try its best to impersonate one....

     

    Insulting and offensive this Ridgeline is...its the Don Rickles of the truck world...actually, the Ridgeline is more like Rickles' punchlines...as both are jokes...

    Same Fuel Economy.

    4 times the utility.

    Almost 100 more horsepower.

    Loads more torque.

    Real four-wheel drive

    Good looks.

    Can actually tow more than an inflatable boat.

    Isn't based on a mini-van.

      Very interesting read, considering that  in 2024 the average price per kW was $66.50 or in the case of a Tesla Y with a 60 kWh battery pack, $3,990 base cost to Tesla or in the case of my Kia EV9 with it's 100 kWh battery pack, $6,650 dollars cost. Today, the base cost due to deflated battery material has fallen to a low of $45 per kW or for Tesla, a battery cost of $2,700 or in the EV9 $4,500 for the battery cost. These make huge decreases in EV costs when the price of the most expensive component drops so fast. Just for basic understanding of a full size GM EV Pickup which has a 210 kWh battery pack, last year $13,965 and now in 2025 $9,450 cost on the battery pack. https://www.actumoteur.fr/en/electric-vehicle-battery-prices-just-crashed-harder-than-anyone-predicted-27490.html

      Same here in Washington, there is a ton of Summer projects with major road detours and sections that are totally closed during the night, traffic is a snail pace and especially this week with World Cup here, just best to not go anywhere.

      Yup! That's new ADA grant funding through the Biden Bill.

      Holy smokes, I completely understand how you feel! St Louis City has been on a roll this year, too. They've been redoing most any sidewalk corner approaching an intersection along with new lighting, which is all nice, but that means streets are blocked off, too. Now they're also tearing up actual street surfaces and blacktopping them. It'll be really nice in a month when stuff is finished down here. Right now my construction situation is pretty awful between the drive to STL and actual downtown STL.

      OMG yes about the road construction! Between the Biden infrastructure bill and the new investments by PennDot and funding to the local municipalities to fix roads, it is sometimes impossible to get around here.  It's also not just roads, utility companies, especially water and sewer, got a lot of fresh funding for projects too.  I get that there is a lot to catch up on, but it's making it really hard to get about.
