A lot of people want the cargo flexibility, towing capacity, and power of a pickup truck, but don’t want the rough ride and sloppy handling that comes along with it. The 2008 Honda Ridgeline handles rough roads and big payloads with aplomb, while offering a tight, controlled ride and excellent suspension.

All four trim lines share a 3.5 liter V6 engine with 247 horsepower and 245 lb.-ft of torque and a 5-speed automatic transmission that pulls the truck with authority. The standard fully-automatic Variable Torque Management 4-wheel-drive system improves traction and vehicle balance, and the rear differential can be locked manually to help get the truck moving.

The hidden, lockable in-bed trunk keeps large gear secure and offers 8.5 cubic feet of weatherproof storage. The dual-action tailgate swings down and to the side to allow for easy loading. The heavy-duty tailgate has a 300-lb. load capacity, which can accommodate motorcycles and ATVs alike. RTX models feature a towing package, which is available to other trim levels as an accessory. Safety features include a standard 4-wheel anti-lock braking system for superior braking power. Dual front airbags, front side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensor keeps passengers safe in the event of a collision. Standard Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control aids the driver in retaining control if side slippage is detected when the driver is cornering or must make a sudden maneuver.

The available Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition features an 8-inch touch screen with additional controls on the left side and voice recognition. An optional 160-Watt AM/FM/XM Ready® stereo with 6-disc in-Dash audio system with 7 Speakers including Subwoofer provides acoustic brilliance.

An alternative to larger, rougher, and less fuel-efficient pickup trucks, the 2008 Honda Ridgeline offers the same benefits as a traditional work truck, with a level of polish and refinement for everyday driving pleasure.
