The Honda Ridgeline Provides Towing Power Fit for Any Truck
There are often concerns among pickup owners when it comes to a hybrid vehicle that combines the strengths of both a car and pickup. Chiefly, these concerns have to do with the power of the vehicle. Why buy a pickup truck that’s weaker than its counterparts when you need strength to get the job done? Luckily, the Ridgeline addresses these concerns with ample towing and hauling capacities, ensuring that you’ll have the benefits of a car while getting work done.
Towing and Hauling Capacities Worthy of a Pick-up
The Ridgeline’s unibody construction, integrated closed-box frame, and rigid body reinforce it for tough jobs. These features combine to steel the Ridgeline for the stressful job of towing a huge load. The model comes with a default Class III trailer hitch, a heavy-duty power-steering fluid cooler, and a trailer harness. There are also brake assistance systems to help stop the Ridgeline during these rough towing jobs. All in all, the Ridgeline will be up to the task of towing any load that a standard pickup truck could.
An Engine Prepared to Put in Work
The sturdy body isn’t the only thing helping perform these jobs. The Ridgeline is internally powered by a 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 engine with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. This engine gives it 15 mpg* fuel efficiency in the city and 21 mpg* on the highway. This high-end power will persist even during strenuous towing conditions, ensuring that your hauling job gets done correctly and without complaint.
