2022 Ridgeline Photos
Congratulations, 2022 Honda Ridgeline, you're no longer alone. The Ridgeline has been the only pickup in the U.S. market that used crossover architecture, granting it unrivaled interior space, handling and ride comfort for a midsize pickup. Of course, it also granted it unending guffaws and eye rolls from the majority of the truck-buying population who don't view it as a truck. Besides the lack of traditional body-on-frame architecture (it's built on the same car-like crossover platform of the Honda Pilot), it can only tow 5,000 pounds, has minimal ground clearance and only one cab/bed/powertrain combination. Yes, it looks a bit more macho after last year's styling update, but we doubt many minds have been changed. At least not yet, because the introduction of the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick could easily lead to a wider acceptance of the crossover pickup concept Honda has been trying to make a thing for two Ridgeline generations. They too have the same advantages of the Ridgeline – and similar demerits – but they're also considerably smaller. So although this pair of compact crossover pickups can be considered alternatives, the Ridgeline remains the only midsize crossover pickup. Guess it's still alone after all. Interior & Technology   |   Passenger & Cargo Space   |   Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive   |   Pricing & Features   |   Crash Ratings & Safety Features What's new for 2022? After significant updates a year ago, which you can read about in last year's Ridgeline review, there are no changes for 2022 except for the option of Sonic Gray Pearl painted added starting in December. What are the Ridgeline interior and in-car technology like? For better and for worse, the Ridgeline interior is copied and pasted from the Honda Pilot from the B-pillars forward. That means it's not an especially attractive space, and certainly not one that screams "tough, fun truck!" Then again, it's not as if the Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado do that, either. That's the "for worse" bit. For better, the Pilot interior offers exceptional small item storage, and that basically carries over to the Ridgeline unchanged. The roomy covered center bin is especially handy for keeping even sizable items away from prying eyes or from flying around the cabin. But now, back to the worse bit. The Pilot/Passport/Ridgeline's infotainment system is the interior's weakest attribute. Yes, it gained a volume knob last year, but that's just correcting a misstep. It doesn't change the missteps that remain: a convoluted menu structure, rudimentary navigation system (if so equipped) and lack of physical supporting buttons. How big is the Ridgeline? On the outside, the Ridgeline is basically the same length and height as other midsize crew cab pickups. Its wheelbase isn't quite as long, and it has less ground clearance (7.6 inches), but it's notably wider – by a whopping 5.3 inches compared to the Ford Ranger. However, the Ridgeline's unibody "crossover" construction means these similar dimensions on the outside do not translate into similar measurements inside. Simply …
