'2015 The Year of Honda'
The first week of October finds a clue or two as to 2016-2017 Ridgeline’s engine and exterior body design. Actually the body styling is not much of a mystery. Honda has an artist's rendering of the unitbody, ‘H’ ladder framed multi-gate mono-truck posted on its Future Ridgeline information updates page.
We’ve experienced the much improved 2016 Honda Pilot, and when looking to the many Ridgeline spy-photos populating the web, easily catch the design cue similarity between the two offerings, including the 3 bar grill common to the Pilot. Monday found a mystery reader claiming to have just sat in the 2016 Honda Ridgeline, could be!
We put in a call to Honda truck engineering and asked if this was possible, they’re not denying it
Rumor has it that 2016 -2017 Honda Ridgeline will share the interior refinement, active safety features and class leading fuel efficiency of the 2016 Pilot Elite. This translates into a segment leading 18 mpg city / 26 mpg hwy, 280 + horsepower cylinder managed i-VTEC 3.5 liter V6 gasoline engine, mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission and very smart AWD.
We further predict that 2016 - 2017 Ridgeline will come to market with a slightly larger interior, improved seats, a very aerodynamic cab, greater towing capacity and an optional Elite upgrade package. As to off-road toughness, we believe that Honda will look to the next generation “smart” all-wheel-drive platform for Ridgeline, featuring manual locking differentials and dial-terrain mode for added traction.
