Looking for a midsize truck? The 2018 Honda Ridgeline offers some unique features not typically found in a midsize truck, including industry-first truck bed speakers. Here are seven features that make the 2018 Ridgeline unique.
Dual Action Tailgate
One of the unique features of the 2018 Honda Ridgeline is its dual action tailgate. The tailgate has the option to open down like traditional tailgates or sideways like you would a conventional door. The two-direction tailgate provides some versatility when it comes to accessing content in the back of your truck.
In-Bed Trunk
Another unique feature found in the Ridgeline is the lockable trunk in the truck bed. The storage area is 7.3 cubic feet and has a drain. With the drain, you can store muddy clothes when you are outside or use it as an icebox for your next tailgate party. The dual action tailgate comes in handy because with the ability to open the tailgate to the side, you can easily access the trunk.
Truck Bed Outlet
Each truck bed comes with a 150W/400W outlet. This means you can plug in tools in the middle of nowhere if you do not have access to an outlet or plug-in a television on the go to watch the big game. Or maybe you have a cooler you want to plug into the back of your truck while camping. The options are limitless when you have accessible power at your fingertips.
Truck Bed Speakers
The 2018 Honda Ridgeline also has an industry-first feature. Embedded into the sides of the truck bed walls is a speaker system. With these speakers, you can pump music from the back of your truck while you work outside or in your garage.
Lots of Space
While there are many fun and unique features in the truck bed of the Ridgeline, it also offers lots of space. The truck can hold a 4X8 sheet of plywood for construction, which is a good indication of how much room you have to throw whatever you want into the back of your truck.
Rear Seating Versatility
In addition to some unique features in the truck bed, the cab also has unique features, such as the 60/40 Split Rear Lift-Up Seats. When down, the rear seats have lots of room for three adults to sit down comfortably. If you want to turn the back part of the cab into cargo space, you can flip up the seats. With the seats flipped up, you can fit anything from a bike to groceries into the interior cargo space.
Single Molded Unit
While most trucks come with a traditional body-on-frame setup, the Ridgeline is a single molded unit. The unibody design makes the truck lighter, giving it a better ride quality that’s more like a car when it comes to handling.
The Ridgeline has lots to offer its drivers. These are only seven of its many unique features. If you would rather check these features out for yourself, you can book a test drive today.
