View Honda Ridgeline Inventory
At Vern Eide Honda Sioux City, the 2026 Honda Ridgeline in Sioux City, IA is engineered to fit real lives — from weekday commuting to weekend trailering, from home projects to backcountry exploration. It blends the comfort and refinement of a premium SUV with the utility of a midsize pickup, delivering confidence through an i-VTM4® AWD system, everyday versatility with a Dual-Action Tailgate, and clever storage via a lockable In-Bed Trunk®. For busy families, outdoor enthusiasts, contractors, and anyone who values smart design, this truck stands ready to do more with less effort.
Built on Honda’s unique unibody construction and complemented by fully independent suspension, the Ridgeline rides with quiet composure yet remains capable where it counts — including towing up to 5,000 pounds with its robust V-6 and standard integrated hitch. Inside, modern conveniences abound: a 9-inch Display Audio touch-screen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, available leather-trimmed seating, and premium amenities designed around you. And with the confidence of the Honda Sensing® suite standard, advanced driver-assistive technologies help support your awareness from every drive to every job site.
The 2026 Honda Ridgeline is a midsize pickup that brings SUV-like sophistication to a truck bed built for hard work. A powerful 280-horsepower V-6 and smooth 9-speed automatic transmission pair with the i-VTM4® AWD system to deliver sure-footed traction on snow, sand, and mud through selectable Intelligent Traction Management modes. Practicality is unmatched thanks to the Dual-Action Tailgate — which opens down or to the side — and the lockable In-Bed Trunk®, a 7.3-cubic-foot compartment with a drain plug that can stash tools or double as a cooler. Unibody construction, approximately 45% high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, and fully independent suspension give the Ridgeline a refined, quiet ride without sacrificing capability. Inside, the cabin seats up to five comfortably and offers available leather-trimmed seats, a one-touch power moonroof, wireless phone charging, and a 9-inch Display Audio touch-screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. With standard Honda Sensing® technologies and available features like a blind spot information system with cross traffic monitor, the Ridgeline blends safety, technology, comfort, and capability in a single, well-balanced package for drivers in Sioux City, IA.
When you combine a secure, quiet ride with genuine off-pavement capability and a cargo bed that’s smarter than most garages, you get a truck that solves daily needs without asking you to compromise. The Ridgeline’s thoughtful engineering delivers on-road comfort, off-road composure, and real-world innovation — a combination that makes it a standout for busy households and active lifestyles alike.
The i-VTM4® AWD system brings confidence to every season and surface by continuously optimizing power delivery to each wheel. Unlike traditional setups that simply split torque front to rear, i-VTM4® can actively distribute torque side to side across the rear axle to help you track cleanly through corners and maintain traction when one side gets slick. Whether you’re navigating a steep driveway after a snowstorm or easing down a muddy two-track to the campsite, the system’s seamless operation supports stability without drama. For drivers who tow, the system’s composure under load further reinforces the Ridgeline’s reputation for predictable, sure-footed performance.
Four selectable modes — Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud — tailor throttle response, shifting, and AWD mapping to your surroundings with a simple button press. Snow mode helps reduce wheel spin for a calmer launch and better control on packed powder or ice. Sand mode allows more wheel slip to keep momentum over looser surfaces. Mud mode manages torque to confidently power through ruts and soft ground. The beauty is how intuitive it feels; you pick a mode and the Ridgeline quietly adjusts to support traction and stability. Tested at the Automotive Enviro Testing facility in Minnesota, this system has been proven in some of America’s harshest conditions so you can trust it where it matters most.
Under the hood, a direct-injection V-6 delivers 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque through a refined 9-speed automatic transmission. The powerband is broad and responsive — punchy enough for highway merges and overtakes, strong enough to tow up to 5,000 pounds with ease. The transmission’s smooth, smart shifting helps the Ridgeline settle into an effortless cruise, while a standard integrated tow hitch and 7-pin connector come factory-ready for trailers. This harmonious powertrain combination provides the muscle you expect in a midsize pickup, backed by the easygoing drivability you want for daily city streets and longer road trips.
The Dual-Action Tailgate is the kind of innovation that changes how you use a truck. Open it downward like a conventional tailgate to slide in longer cargo, or swing it to the side for close-up access to the bed floor and the hidden In-Bed Trunk®. This side-swing motion is especially helpful when loading heavy coolers, tackling home projects, or hitching up — you’ll work closer to the bed without leaning over. Pair the tailgate with the available truck-bed power outlet to run a TV or power tools, and you’ve got a rolling workshop, a game-day setup, or a basecamp in seconds. It’s simple, sturdy, and incredibly practical.
The lockable In-Bed Trunk® is a secure cargo compartment recessed into the bed floor, offering 7.3 cubic feet of storage for tools, gear, and valuables you want out of sight. It includes a handy drain plug, so you can use it as an ice chest at the game or stash wet waders after a day on the water without worrying about cleanup. Because it’s integrated below the bed floor, you retain a flat, wide bed surface with minimal wheelwell intrusion — making space for off-road toys, landscaping materials, or 4-by-8-foot plywood sheets. Add available In-Bed Trunk® cargo dividers to keep smaller items organized and right where you put them.
When cross-shopping, consider how often you’ll tow, what you’ll carry, and the terrain you’ll traverse. The Ridgeline is a standout for those who prize refinement, smart storage, and traction confidence as much as strength. If you want a pickup that feels as composed on the highway as it is capable at a trailhead or job site, put this truck at the top of your list.
What makes the Ridgeline’s bed different from other midsize trucks?
Two signature innovations set it apart: the Dual-Action Tailgate and the lockable In-Bed Trunk®. The tailgate opens down or swings to the side for easier access, while the In-Bed Trunk® is a secure, 7.3-cubic-foot compartment with a drain plug to store tools and gear or ice and refreshments. Together, they create versatility you won’t find elsewhere in the segment.
How capable is the 2026 model off the pavement?
With the i-VTM4® AWD system and Intelligent Traction Management modes for Snow, Sand, and Mud, the Ridgeline is designed for varied terrain. Fully independent suspension delivers stability and comfort, while trims like TrailSport add off-road tuned suspension and all-terrain tires to further enhance control over rougher routes.
What towing features are built in?
Every Ridgeline includes a standard integrated tow hitch and 7-pin connector, plus a 280-horsepower V-6 and 262 lb-ft of torque for towing up to 5,000 pounds. A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines helps line up to a trailer, and the i-VTM4® AWD system adds confidence when launching on slippery surfaces.
Which technology features stand out inside?
A 9-inch Display Audio touch-screen anchors the cabin, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Available amenities include a one-touch power moonroof, wireless phone charging, and premium audio. Standard Honda Sensing® driver-assistive features add everyday confidence.
