The New Honda Ridgeline for Sale in Santa Maria
Honda's entry into the pickup industry is marked by the launch of the Honda Ridgeline midsize truck. This truck stands out for its unconventional body featuring a unibody frame with no separate frame, unlike traditional pickup trucks with a body-on-frame design. Its unique build gives it a balanced and comfortable ride, similar to what drivers experience on the Honda Pilot SUV. Customers in Santa Maria can also enjoy the convenience of an exceptional towing and payload capability on the cargo bed.
At Honda of Santa Maria, we offer a wide range of Honda models in our used and new inventory, including the 2023 Honda Ridgeline. With various standard features, including its exclusive four-door crew cab with a five-foot bed, the 2023 Ridgeline can stand out. Below are features that set it apart.
Performance
The new Honda Ridgeline hasn't undergone significant changes under the hood, with the base model featuring a 3.5L V6 engine generating 280hp of horsepower and 262lb-ft of torque. It's paired with an all-wheel drive system with a nine-speed automatic transmission for smooth handling and better control. It also delivers a decent EA estimated fuel economy of 18/24 mpg city/highway.
Customers around San Luis Obispo and Bakersfield easily mistake the ridgeline for an SUV due to its smooth handling. It boasts an independent rear suspension supporting a maximum payload of 1,583 pounds. When tuned, the truck can achieve a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds, making it an ideal choice for hauling cargo or towing a small trailer on your trip. The standard all-wheel-drive system features multiple drive modes, including snow, mud, and sand, with 7.64-inches ground clearance to boost its off-roading capabilities.
Design/Interior
The exterior hasn't received any changes, with Honda retaining its four-door crew cab feature with a bed length of 5.3 feet. The cargo bed can be extended to 6.9 feet with the tailgate down to accommodate more items. It also boasts more than four feet of wheelbase to create a roomy interior and cargo bed. It also features a spray-in bed liner to make the cargo floor scratch/dent resistant. Honda has also included heavy-duty tie-down cleats to secure cargo. Its two-way tailgate is reinforced to hold up to 300 pounds. All models are fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels with Pewter Gay or Gloss Black finish depending on the variant.
Its interior opens to a spacious cabin with a five-seater capacity and standard noise cancellation. Rear-seat passengers can enjoy extra comfort with 36.7 inches of legroom and enough shoulder room to move around. The back seats also feature under-cushion storage for small items. Its rear seats are split 60/40 to create extra storage space.
