Honda Pickup Slated for 2005 Spring On-Sale
Honda confirmed in a news release that its all-new 4-door, 4WD truck will go on sale nationwide in spring 2005 as a 2006 model.
The truck will be named "Ridgeline," Honda announced at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturer's Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, where it displayed an updated concept version of the vehicle. The production Ridgeline will make its debut at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit next January.
The Ridgeline uses a closed-box frame combined with unibody construction and carries a five-foot cargo box with "minimal wheel arch intrusion" to carry a wide variety of cargo, Honda said. Inside, the Ridgeline features a five-passenger interior.
Hard parts include a four-wheel independent suspension and a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission with a fully automatic 4-wheel-drive system. Standard features include 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control.
