Take Your Ridgeline on the Ultimate Camping Trip
There is nothing quite like the feeling of packing up the truck and heading out for a weekend under the stars. If you ask us, few vehicles make that trip easier than the Honda Ridgeline. We get to talk to a lot of outdoor lovers here at Greensboro Honda, and once people see everything this truck can do, it usually does not take much convincing. If camping season in North Carolina has you daydreaming about your next adventure, look at our Ridgeline inventory to see what we have in store!
Key Points
- The Honda Ridgeline tows up to 5,000 pounds with standard all-wheel drive and a built-in seven-pin hitch.
- The truck features a spacious bed plus a lockable 7.3-cubic-foot in-bed trunk for weatherproof storage.
- The Ridgeline averages around 21 mpg combined for efficient trips to and from the campground.^
Plenty of Power for Hauling Your Gear
One of the first things campers ask about is how much a vehicle can tow, and the Honda Ridgeline towing capacity holds up nicely for weekend trips. Every trim is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is more than enough for a small camper, a boat, or a trailer loaded with bikes and gear.* The Ridgeline also offers:
- A smooth, confident ride even when the truck is loaded down.
- Standard all-wheel drive to help you stay planted on gravel roads and campsite entrances.
- A payload capacity of over 1,500 pounds, so you can pack the bed and still tow comfortably.
A Bed Built for the Outdoors
The Honda Ridgeline bed size is perfect for anyone who camps often. At just over five feet long and five feet wide at the bed walls, it has roughly 33.9 cubic feet of total space. It’s wide enough to fit gear flat between the wheel wells (where it’s 50 inches across), such as coolers and folded tents.
What really sets it apart, though, is the in-bed trunk tucked beneath the bed floor. This lockable, weatherproof compartment holds about 7.3 cubic feet of extra storage, so you can keep muddy boots, wet gear, or valuables completely out of sight and protected from the weather.
On top of this, here are some more features to love:
- The dual-action tailgate opens down or swings out to the side, giving you an easy way to load and unload no matter how tight the campsite parking is.
- Available LED truck bed lights help you find your gear after sunset.
- Eight heavy-duty truck bed tie-down cleats come standard for more secure loading.
Efficient on the Road to Your Next Trip
Long drives to the campground are easier to enjoy when you are not stopping for gas every hour, and the Honda Ridgeline mpg helps with exactly that. Most trims average around 21 miles per gallon combined, which is impressive for a truck with this much capability.^ That efficiency means more time enjoying the trip and less time worrying about the next fuel stop.
Built to Handle the Trail, Too
If your camping trips take you down rougher roads, the Honda Ridgeline TrailSport is worth a look. It comes with an off-road tuned suspension, a steel front skid plate, and all-terrain tires, giving you extra confidence when the pavement ends, and the adventure begins.
Inside, the TrailSport trim stands out with unmistakable flair, featuring:
- All-season floor mats
- Orange ambient lighting
- Leather-trimmed seats with orange stitching
- One-touch power moonroof
