Power Under the Hood
A 3.5-liter VTEC® V-6 engine with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque gives the Ridgeline optimum power and efficiency. An innovative two-stage intake manifold and a high-mounted fresh-air intake system provide power when you need it, with high-end horsepower and low-end torque even during extreme towing conditions. The fresh-air intake draws air from the top of the front grille to protect against dust and water intrusion during launches.

• Integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction
• Integrated class III trailer hitch
• 5,000-lb. towing capacity[1]
• Trailer harness (RTS and RTL; RT and Sport are pre-wired for a trailer harness)
• Pre-wired for trailer brake controller
• Heavy-duty radiator with dual 160-watt fans
• Heavy-duty power-steering fluid cooler

• Power-assisted ventilated front disc/solid rear disc brakes
