Honda Ridgeline: pickup with a unibody structure, a 3,471 cc six-cylinder engine producing 280 hp and a gross vehicle weight of 2,750 kg
The Ridgeline is Honda's pickup for the North American market. Unlike most pickups with a separate ladder frame, it uses a unibody structure of the kind common on SUVs rather than a classic frame-and-body layout.

The six-cylinder engine of 3,471 cc produces 280 hp, or 208.8 kW. At a gross vehicle weight of 2,750 kg and an unladen weight of 2,110 kg, around 640 kg of payload remains. With a 3,180 mm wheelbase and a width of 1,980 mm, the Ridgeline matches the dimensions of a large SUV with an open bed rather than a classic commercial-based pickup.
At a gross vehicle weight of 2,750 kg, the Ridgeline falls into class N1 for light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, drivable on a category B licence. The unibody structure gives different handling and different load limits for the bed compared with ladder-frame pickups, but also a quieter and more comfortable ride when unladen.
For a used Ridgeline, the condition of the plastic bed liner matters, which should be checked for cracks and deformation, as should the seals of the hidden tailgate. With unibody pickups it is also worth looking at the frame sections beneath the body for corrosion, since these vehicles age differently from classic ladder-frame models. The condition of the tow hitch and its mounting points in the floor is also worth checking if the vehicle has regularly been used for towing.
