Honda Ridgeline Trim Levels

2019 Honda Ridgeline ReviewThe 2019 Honda Ridgeline model gets only a few changes from last year’s model. Specifically, all trim levels now receive dual USB ports, while the RTL and RTL-T models get a standard moonroof and power sliding rear windows.

The Ridgeline still runs on a V6 engine at 3.5 liters, which puts out 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a solid 5,000 lb. towing capacity when properly equipped and best-in-class cargo space from its hidden storage space and an in-bed trunk. There’s 33.9 cubic feet of space in the bed.

Base Features and Options

There are six trim levels available for the 2019 Ridgeline: the base RT level, the Sport, the RTL, RTL-T and RTL-3, and the Black Edition. At the RT level you get only front-wheel drive, while other trim levels give you the option of AWD. At the RTL-E and the Black Edition levels, AWD is standard.

Base features are quite solid and include tow hitch, push-button start, cruise control, power locks, and dual-action tailgate. In terms of technology, there’s a 4.2-inch information screen, Bluetooth, and a sound system with 7 speakers, two USB jacks, and a 5-inch touchscreen. You also get a rearview camera.
