Key Points 

• The Ridgeline offers a smooth, SUV-like ride with clever storage and dependable all-wheel drive, making it a great fit for everyday families 

• Built in Lincoln, Alabama, the Ridgeline shares Honda’s trusted engineering, giving it strong reliability and low long-term maintenance costs 

• With production pausing in 2027 ahead of a 2028 redesign, now is a smart time to buy a current Ridgeline at great value 

Is the Honda Ridgeline a Good Truck? 

In short, yes. It earns that reputation in a way that feels a little different from other trucks on the road. The Ridgeline was built with everyday drivers in mind rather than just heavy-duty worksites, which makes it a great fit for families who still want real truck capability. Here is what owners tend to love most about it: 

• A smooth ride that makes long drives much more comfortable 

• A clever in-bed trunk that adds storage you will not find on most trucks 

• A spacious, quiet cabin that feels more like an SUV than a traditional pickup 

• Dependable all-wheel drive that handles rain, snow, and rough roads with ease 

Where Is the Honda Ridgeline Built? 

The Ridgeline is proudly built at Honda’s manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. Honda has invested heavily in its American manufacturing operations over the years, and that commitment shows in the consistency and quality you feel behind the wheel. Knowing where your truck comes from can mean a lot. For many shoppers, it being made in America adds an extra layer of confidence.      

Are Honda Ridgelines Reliable? 

This is probably the question we hear most, and it makes sense since reliability is often the deciding factor for truck buyers. The Ridgeline shares much of its engineering with other trusted Honda models such as the Pilot, and that dependability carries over nicely. Owners consistently report fewer unexpected repairs and lower long term maintenance costs compared to many competitors, which adds real peace of mind over the years you own it. In fact, RepairPal ranks the Ridgeline as having above average reliability.   

How Much Can a Honda Ridgeline Tow?         

The Ridgeline is more capable than a lot of people expect. Depending on the trim and configuration, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. This covers boats, campers, and trailers for most weekend adventures. It may not be built for heavy commercial hauling, but for everyday towing needs, it holds its own quite comfortably.* 

When Will the Honda Ridgeline Be Redesigned? 

We know there are plenty of people who are curious about what comes next for this model. Honda has announced that the Ridgeline will take a break from production in 2027 before returning with a full redesign for the 2028 model year, giving their engineers time to reimagine the truck for the next generation of drivers. If you have been waiting to get your hands on a Ridgeline, now is actually a smart time to buy. Current models will remain a great value while the redesign is still a couple of years away.
