2026 Honda Ridgeline Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Ridgeline trim does Edmunds recommend?
Honda hasn't released official information on the 2026 Ridgeline as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Ridgeline, we make the unusual suggestion of springing for the top Black Edition trim. For a rather reasonable markup, you get some desirable features such as ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a premium audio system.
2026 Ridgeline trim level differences
[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Ridgeline. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Honda Ridgeline is a midsize crew-cab pickup offered in four trim levels: Sport, RTL, TrailSport and Black Edition. All Ridgelines are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine (280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque) mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It's offered in a single configuration with four doors and a 5-foot-4-inch bed. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Ridgeline's most significant standard features and options.
