We’re proud to announce that the 2021 Honda Ridgeline for sale in Denver passed this challenging battery of tests with flying colors, earning it CR’s coveted recommendation as the #1 compact pickup truck in America. Here are six reasons why CR called the 2021 Ridgeline “…the most civilized pickup truck we’ve ever tested.”
Consumer Reports gave the second-generation Ridgeline a big thumbs up for its fresh styling that is more “truck-like” than previous models. The handsome new 2021 Ridgeline gets all-new sheet metal, including a new upright grille with chrome accent bar (or gloss black depending on trim level), new LED headlights, new front fenders, and a reshaped rear bumper with twin exhausts.
Accentuating the Ridgeline’s aggressive new look is a more pronounced hood with a “power bulge,” a bold-looking skid plate, and side vents that improve aerodynamic efficiency. For customers wanting to “trick out” their Ridgeline, they can choose from the eye-catching “Ridgeline Black Edition” or opt for a muscular new HPD Package from Honda Performance Development.
Both consumers and CR’s testers alike gave the Ridgeline high marks for its many industry-leading innovative features. They applauded the Ridgeline’s ingenious Dual-Action Tailgate® that can either fold down like a conventional tailgate or swing outward like a door, providing outstanding access to the Ridgeline’s rugged, rust-resistant lined bed, making it easier to load than the competition.
Additionally, they commended the Ridgeline for its handy and secure lockable In-Bed Trunk®. Not only is it both waterproof and washable, you can even use it as an ice chest. The Ridgeline also gets high marks for its available, exclusive Truck Bed Audio System.
On the test track or in the real world, what also makes the Honda Ridgeline excel as America’s best small pickup truck is its unbeatable combination of powerful, fuel-efficient performance and composed car-like ride. Consumer Reports singled out these key attributes, saying:
“Many pickup trucks are proud, hulking brutes. But these commercial-grade monsters are overkill for many suburbanites and weekend warriors. That’s where the genius of the Ridgeline comes in. This highly innovative, newly updated truck can haul dirt bikes and tow a small trailer but was designed to excel in the daily commute… The 3.5-liter V6 is a slick and powerful engine. At 20 mpg overall in our tests, the Ridgeline is also the most fuel-efficient truck that’s not diesel- or hybrid-powered. And the ride is comfortable and composed.”
With these glowing accolades, we’re not surprised that the Ridgeline aced CR’s rigorous road test. It bested competitors in this segment by getting high scores for its peppy acceleration, smooth-shifting transmission, and solid braking. It also achieved excellent grades for its quiet, confident ride, thanks to its independent suspension and unibody frame. Moreover, the Ridgeline’s available i-VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive provides an even higher degree of surefooted handling by automatically distributing torque to each wheel depending on driving conditions.
No wonder Consumer Reports called the Ridgeline’s cornering capabilities “…head and shoulders better than any other pickup truck.”
The Ridgeline also received excellent scores for its spacious, quiet, and well-designed interior, which closely matches the versatile and roomy Honda Pilot SUV. CR’s reviewers complimented the Ridgeline’s “…nicely finished dashboard and door trim, high-quality switchgear, and comfortable seats.” The Ridgeline’s sophisticated and versatile interior compared favorably to the Toyota Tacoma’s “rudimentary” interior in CR’s tests.
New 2021 interior upgrades include cloth seat inserts with handsome cross-stitching, and a new dash, steering wheel, and center console accents.
For 2021, Honda’s new compact pickup truck for sale near Denver also sports improved technology, infotainment, and safety features. An upgraded 8-inch Display Audio infotainment touchscreen now features a physical volume knob along with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFree Link, and more.
Safety is top-of-mind with Ridgeline’s Honda Sensing® suite of active driver-assist technologies. These include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
The ultimate measurement of a vehicle’s quality is overall owner satisfaction. We’re pleased to say that the Ridgeline hit it out of the park this year with a perfect CR owner-satisfaction survey score of five out of five.
We’re also happy to report that the Honda brand ranks #5 of 26 among all auto brands reviewed in the 2021 version of Consumer Reports’ annual reliability study.
