The Honda Ridgeline 2017 is the second generation of Honda’s midsize pickup truck! It's redesigned to offer both recreational and work users a higher degree of utility and versatility! It has a lot of cool features like the World’s first available Truck Bed Audio system! You have plenty of power from its new powerful V6 engine and advanced torque vectoring all-wheel drive system (iVTM-4) extend on-road and off-road performance! Inside the truck you can find a button-operated Intelligent Traction Management System that offers different operating modes, Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand. The system allows the driver to select the operating mode that best suits the driving conditions on the road ahead. Based on the setting selected, the system adjusts the drive-by-wire map, transmission shift map, Vehicle Stability Assist and i-VTM4 torque distribution for optimal performance in a variety of road or surface conditions.

After testing the new Ridgeline on our test track, we can see how well it handles. There is some wheelspin but keep in mind that this is not an "offroad" truck. Also when going up our big sand hill, we could not get the transmission to give us full power in first gear so we ran out of power at the end of it. There is not a lot of suspension travel but the Ridgeline is still one good and realiable truck.

Check out the test!
