Default HONDA RIDGELINE TRUCK!?

Well i just went to the HONDA website and the link is not working. Is the new Ridgeline the same as the SUT? Just wondering to see what honda has up their sleeves.

Anybody with info on what the production model will look like??

I think it looking pretty sweet just got off the phone with a customer of mine and he says he will be sending me more specs when he gets out of the launch meeting with american honda corp. he said that it has a pretty impressive platform though

i bet it will have a torque-ier version of the RLs 3.5 liter V6, with a heavier duty SH-AWD system.

Ridgeline? They should name it the Honda Butt Ugly. The only uglier car made is the Pontiac Aztec. GM, Ford and Dodge have nothing to worry about. Only its mother could love this ugly baby.

i think the RL is made in japan so the engine will probably be closer to the odesye, pilot, or mdx. i don't know how similar those are to the RL. from what ive read, and i could be wrong, i would think it is going to be very similar to the chevy avalanche.

sorry about the spelling

but the RL is already set up for AWD, and could easily be adapted to be four wheel drive instead (if honda wanted to go that route)

i think they would put the same engine as the RL but you never know they might just make a whole new one for it

yes, since honda is notorious for making completely new engines, when they have 10 other perfectly good options

A good family friend of mine works for Honda making the cams for their 6 cylinder engines. It IS going to have a 3.5L 6 cylinder. He never specified whether it is inline or v, but I would assume it to be in a V configuration since its a truck.

As for ugly...I kinda like it. I think I'd still rather have a Ram SRT-10 if I were buying any truck I could think of, but then again, its hard to argue with Honda reliability.

so true...although, i think they are starting to lower the number of engines, at least for the US market. the K-series replaced the B, H and F motors.

I think you mean J series, if you are referring to the 3.5L V6.

I was watching some show the other day when they were talking about the new vue and they said "it uses the same 4 cyl that comes in the tsx element and something else" and that was about all I heard so maybe I heard wrong

Ridgeline will not hit US till March. Honda will realease specs and brochures 3rd week of janurary. Ridgeline will be 2006 model. They have already started production on it. Detriot and LA Auto shows will feature a pre-production model. This should be very close to a final production model. MSRP should be around 30K. All the other data such as suspension and stuff are known, but I have researched this product for over 2 years and they were rumored to have 300HP, but I dont know of any specs listed from reputable sources.
