00:00 Honda's truck is the Ridgeline, unique among midsize pickup trucks due to its unibody architecture.
00:06 Built in Lincoln, Alabama, the Ridgeline could be thought of as a crossover with a bed, delivering
00:11 a combination of utility and driving refinement like few other trucks.
00:16 For 2024, the Honda Ridgeline receives numerous updates, making it an even more compelling
00:22 choice in the midsize truck segment.
00:26 Truck stops may deride the Ridgeline, but Honda's interpretation of a midsize pickup
00:29 has unique appeal.
00:31 Despite not being as tough and burly as some trucks, even in the new Trail Sport trim,
00:36 it meets the needs of many truck drivers.
00:39 Measuring 5 feet in length, the Ridgeline's bed isn't huge.
00:42 Yet, it has smart and useful features, such as a spacious underfloor storage area and
00:47 a tailgate that opens two ways.
00:50 In most situations, the Ridgeline drives better than conventional trucks.
00:53 That unibody construction has tangible benefits.
00:56 Its cabin and ride quality are notably more comfortable than traditional trucks.
01:01 The Honda Ridgeline Trail Sport debuts for 2024 with specially tuned suspension, off-road
01:06 tires and underbody protection.
01:08 While it may not be as rugged as some competitors, it's a capable off-roader in its own right.
01:13 It's nice to have a vehicle that drives like a crossover in most situations and still has
01:17 the capability to tackle projects and pursuits.
01:20 The Honda Ridgeline is just that.
