Try the 2026 Honda Ridgeline on for size by testing out its off-roading and performance abilities here at Napleton’s Honda. This midsize pickup truck will be for you if you fall into the category of buyer who wants a versatile vehicle that is cozy enough to drive through Rockford every day while also possessing the muscle needed for the occasional hauling job or trek through dirt roads. The following overview will go into more detail about how it will serve you and your adventurous lifestyle well!
Capabilities
We’ll address one of the more pressing questions for interested parties of the 2026 Ridgeline first, which is how capable is it on terrain that isn’t quite so stable? Its standard Intelligent Traction Management System makes this pickup truck supremely adept at navigating rough grounds by way of Sand and Mud modes. You can activate them with a quick button toggle, which will reveal the additional Snow setting as well. Pivoting to this modulation hones the full potential of the standard AWD system, enhancing its already advanced traction to new heights. That means you can have confidence the next time you haul along a camper through the U.S. Grant Memorial Highway using the Ridgeline’s 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity1.
Performance
The previously mentioned abilities of the 2026 Honda Ridgeline wouldn’t be possible without the component that makes it all possible — its standard 3.5L V6 engine. This tried and true powertrain has been equipped to many past iterations of the vehicle, with this current generation producing 280 horsepower2 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque3. A standard 9-speed automatic transmission lends a hand to the engine by directing power to the wheels that need it most, which you can fine-tune with the paddle shifters on the steering column. Their forces combined make for optional driver engagement on traffic-filled freeways. Though when the ground beneath the Ridgeline is free of other cars but filled with jagged rocks, know you can perform light off-roading thanks to its 7.64 inches of ground clearance.
Interior
Utilitarian is usually the first trait that our customers think of when describing a pickup truck, with spacious not typically being one that is commonly posited. However, the Ridgeline makes sure that all parties will be comfortable when en route to Alpine Park with 40.9 inches of front legroom and 36.7 inches afforded to rear passengers. Leather-trimmed seats are available as early as the RTL trim, which is just one up from the base Sport version of the Honda Ridgeline. Climb higher up the pickup truck’s hierarchy to the Black Edition or Black Edition Two-Tone variations to have access to a ventilated chairs to help reduce the chances that sweat beads down your back on hot summer afternoons. Once days begin to become shorter and you spend more time driving by night, the available ambient red LED lighting will add some elegance to a dark cabin. See for yourself how much this feature enlivens the interior of the Ridgeline at our location!

“ 34 Year Honda Loyalist here. Broke a coil spring on my 2020 Odyssey. I have a local (not Honda) mechanic who couldn't find one, anywhere in Illinois except Peoria and Love's Park. BOTH of my former dealerships in Countryside and Oak Lawn were extremely unhelpful, even rude, with my attempts to find one. Well... Let me tell you about Ryan, Parts Manager at Napleton Auto Group, Love's Park. He went above and beyond helping me find the part, even offering to meet me offsite if I was able to get there before the Parts Dept opened. It was an easy drive and voila! Problem solved. While there I noticed the cleanliness of all (3) Auto Group lots, the professional staff, and above all... my (likely) new CR-V sitting in the lot! I will no longer buy my vehicles in Chicagoland. I've been converted! Thank you to Ryan, Geoff, and Team! ”
“ Had a great experience with Napleton Honda! John Azuru made finding the vehicle I wanted a priority. He, along with Joe Sanchez and Keith Montoya made it a quick and seamless experience. I would highly recommend the team at Napletons. Thanks guys! ”
“ Shout out Napleton Honda for there terrific service to help me purchase my new 2026 hrv (super clean btw). Eric was awesome and he showed me everything I needed to know about the purchase, as well as the car and its features (since I’m used to driving a 2005). Also shout out John Azpuru super cool guy ”
“ I always equated buying a car with going to the dentist for a root canal. But Napleton Honda changed my perspective. Eric, my amicable and knowledgeable salesman steered me through the complex journey of buying a new vehicle . Thanks for answering all my questions and showing me how all the buttons work. The manager, Chris was kind and helpful in the decision making process also. He went above and beyond to get me the price that I could afford and live with. John A. did a thorough job navigating me through all the paperwork with the purchase of the car. I was treated with respect, patience, kindness and never felt pressured to make a decision by all three of these men. Once I drove the 3 different Honda Pilots with different packages, I was hooked on getting a Pilot. I have been happy with my 2018 CRV but wanted a little bigger . The Pilot is easier for me to get in and out of with my two total knees. The front and back cameras are amazing-I will be able to park between the parking lines with no problem. I can’t believe that I will have warming seats and cooling seats . I keep pinching myself that I was able to purchase such a wonderful vehicle and be able to get it washed once a week for free. Thanks Napleton Honda for making this big step in my life so exciting and pleasurable. ”
“ I had Alyssa as a carsaleswoman and she went above and beyond for me! Was such a great experience and can't recommend her enough, she made it easy, was professional and made sure everything was to my expectations! As a first time car buyer everything was a breeze. Jim in Finance is also great too! ”
“ Colten Kuhnau and John Azpuru were GREAT to work with! Seamless transaction even being 2 hours away out of state. Had everything ready to go when we got there and just needed to sign paperwork to go! Thanks again for everything! ”
“ Alyssa was very professional, very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure working with her. She helped us purchase our 3rd Honda. I won’t own anything else. ”
“ Alyssa, Chris L and John made the process of purchasing my new car a less stressful experience. They were so knowledgeable and pleasant to work with, I would like to recommend them highly to anyone in the market for the perfect car. I feel confident that I will be receiving exceptional customer service as I enjoy my car through the years! ”
“ The customer service is good, but they do not always have what you need ”
“ Very small location 3 stars for checking my tire pressure ”
“ At my 100,000 service “after market” spark pugs were used - I didn’t find out until moving out of the area and needing them replaced at a new Honda shop/location. I would only recommend this place to others who like to cut corners for cost purposes. ”
“ Bought a vehicle back on July 12th, today is December 18th and i still have no license plate. Countless emails, calls to the dealer, a BBB complaint and still nothing. I drove for months with an expired temp tag, I have been sent a second temp tag and it expires in two days. Buy somewhere else, trust me!!! They use a third party titling agency which i have been in constant contact as well. ”
“ I just bought a car from this dealer the price we agree on they didn't give me I trust them I haven't keep up on them but after one week when I check my paperwork they changed me full price I feel like they cheat me I was very disappointed with this dealer please stay away from this dealer ”
“ The lack of morals in leadership is astounding and I refuse to ever support another napleton business again. ”
