If able to carry passengers and cargo in question, the Ridgeline becomes a specialist The Ridgeline can apparently misunderstood, as I said in the first installment of this test medium term, but we have found that if we exploit all its capabilities, the truck becomes an efficient and useful tool for work or personal use, which is not has been experienced by many who believe in a pickup and not turn to see Honda as their first choice.
The possibilities are many in the Ridgeline. We enjoy a huge space inside, which can carry five passengers comfortably seated. The equipment or the design of the interiors are the nicest we’ve seen. But the combination of toughness with soft and rigid plastic, make the truck have to have that functionality in an ambivalent environment. For heavy work can be useful, but for personal transportation allows for your convenience.
The equipment is no more updated, but part of the radio with six-disc CD case is the auxiliary input. What is surprising is the large amount of holes to save-to-hide objects. In the center console fit large bags, at the gates of soda cans are some guys for the huge hollow in the trunk there is a hidden compartment, used to carry suitcases.
To access the area of the box, with 241 liters of space in the compartment and 2.095 liters in total area, you can enter the gate opening is a classic or laterally to avoid damage to the same gate when up heavy objects. One drawback we see in this part, is that space is somewhat limited. Large, wide objects are difficult to accommodate, if we charge more. On the other hand, the ability to drag is good, of 2.27 tonnes, to take a big trailer up to a ride to another car. These capabilities put it at the level of experienced Ford Lobo.
The operation is smooth, both in acceleration and in the transfer, as the suspension is not as “Brincones” other pickup we’ve tested, and this is seen in the interior. The engine is the 3.5-liter V6, 253 horsepower, similar to the one holding the Odyssey, of proven efficiency and fuel consumption. Here we have the best figure was 6.4 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Finally, we note that the van has suffered, as usual, a price adjustment, which takes it to the 458 thousand dollars. 4000 pesos more than when we began this test medium term.
With the Ridgeline we had at our disposal a clear pickup accountable when it comes to be required, with or without load, carrying five passengers. Its strength lies in the design that shows his teeth to the other competitors and that is enough to win even more followers gradually.
