247-hp, 3.5-Liter, 24-Valve SOHC VTEC® V-6 Engine
The high-output 24-valve, 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 engine produces 247 hp and 245 lb-ft of torque, giving the Ridgeline performance on a par with V-8 trucks. Yet it still has high mileage and a low-emissions rating.
4-Wheel Independent Suspension
Unlike other trucks with live-axle suspensions, each of the wheels operates independently of the others and also has a lower unsprung weight. As a result, the Ridgeline operates with excellent off-road handling, a composed ride and high stability.
5-Speed Automatic Transmission
The 5-speed automatic transmission was built with heavy-duty truck use in mind. Clutches, shafts, gear ratios and bearings have all been upgraded for towing and hauling. Transmission shift points have been programmed to take full advantage of engine torque, and shift times are quicker for more positive shifts. A high-capacity automatic transmission cooler helps ensure greater durability when towing in hot conditions.
Locking Rear Differential
When the clutches are energized and engaged by the VTM-4® Electronic Control Unit, up to 70% of the engine's power is diverted to the rear wheels so they can work with the front wheels to provide 4-wheel drive.
Variable Torque Management® 4-Wheel-Drive System (VTM-4®)
The VTM-4® system operates automatically. But when you need to start off in extreme low-traction conditions, such as when stopped in mud, on ice or in loose gravel, the thoughtful VTM-4® Lock feature lets you manually lock the rear differential to help get you moving. And it can stay manually locked up to 18 mph.
Integrated Closed-Box Frame with Unit-Body Construction
The integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction is quieter than the conventional body-on-frame design. Not only does this greatly minimize the buzz, squeak and rattle generally associated with body-on-frame trucks, but it also greatly enhances the Ridgeline's ride and handling, especially when fully loaded. The two integrated, fully boxed and reinforced frame rails and seven fully boxed cross members give it added strength and class-leading torsional rigidity.
