Product Overview

Honda Ridgeline Mk2 (chassis code YK2/YK3) is a large unibody pickup in production from 2017 to 2021, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a single naturally-aspirated V6 engine that displaced 3.5 liters. Earlier models used a 6-speed automatic transmission, which was replaced by a 9-speed ZF 9HP unit in the 2020 model year.

Compared to the original Ridgeline, AWD is no longer standard. Honda somehow botched the exterior styling, making the new vehicle notably uglier.

Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the good approach, departure, and breakover angles that the chassis offers.
