Honda ridgeline review
 Honda Ridgeline takes on a bolder look and feel with new exterior and interior styling along with a more powerful engine. A hitch becomes standard on every model, and the premium features include a newly introduced Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink ® and a backup camera on Honda Ridgeline RTL reversing models with available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System. The Honda Ridgeline continues to be the only pickup truck available with a large in-Bed Trunk ™ that lets you record hidden, dry and secure storage capable of swallowing, tool boxes and coolers.
Updates style front and rear combine to create a more-chiseled overall appearance with revisions to the grille, bumpers and headlights and taillight color combinations. Inside, the updates are reviewed three-dimensional style style meters, a new steering wheel design, and advanced controls, buttons and displays for air conditioning, audio, cruise control and headlights. New technology-friendly features include the addition of a 115-volt power supply on the Honda Ridgeline RTL MP3/auxiliary input jack on the Ridgeline RTS and RTL Honda, and all audio systems become MP3/WMA compatible. Among the new security features active front headrests daytime running lights and seat.Capable of accommodating 4-foot-wide sheets of plywood between the wheel arches, the composite cargo bed, gains two cargo attachment points (eight total).

"The Ridgeline channels the company extensive experience with motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, marine engines, personal watercraft, power equipment and automotive products," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. . 'The end result is a truck designed to best meet the needs of people who take family, work and leisure time seriously. All-around, is the right tool for the job. "
The four-door, five-passenger Honda Ridgeline is built on a closed box unit-body structure that combines the strength characteristics of a separate chassis with the packaging and handling advantages of a unit body design. 2009 Honda Ridgeline All are powered by a horse-250, 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 engine. A 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and a Variable Torque Management ® 4-wheel drive (VTM-4 ®) are standard. The EPA rates city / highway / combined fuel economy at 15/20/17. A fully independent suspension with McPherson suspension in front and multi-link rear contribute to a smooth ride and handling. Standard equipment for towing, tow hitch integrated, transmission and oil coolers, heavy duty brakes, dual radiator fans and a wiring for a trailer hook up to 7-pin (pre-wiring only on RT). Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds recommended.
At 5-foot-long composite cargo bed provides a half-ton payload rating of 1,100 pounds. Four cargo lights illuminate both the bed and the bed in the trunk. A dual-action tailgate opens down for traditional access to the cargo area or to the side for easy access to the lock In-Bed Trunk. New accessories for 2009 include a motorcycle bed extender and a bed-mount bicycle attachment, in addition to a wide range of existing accessories that are designed to accommodate motorcycles and ATVs.
Honda ridgeline Powertrain
The all-aluminum 60-degree, SOHC 3.5-liter VTEC produces 250 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 247 lb-ft. of torque at 4300 rpm. Variable valve timing enhances the Ridgeline low rpm torque while extending high rpm power for a broad, confidence-inspiring power band. For 2009, the engine produces three more horsepower and a torque curve that is up to 10 lb-ft. broader at RPMs as low as 2500 - while maintaining the same EPA-rated fuel consumption in 2008 and its CARB Ultra Low Emissions Honda ridgeline Vehicle-certification.
Most of the extra power is achieved through a new camshaft profile tuned for maximum torque, larger intake valves and a revised dual-stage intake m
A closer look inside the engine compartment reveals more technical enhancements. Improved engine control electronics incorporate a 6-degree pulse sensor handle for better control knock. A flow meter of air inside the air intake increases fuel injection precision. Optimized coolant passages in the cooling performance of the engine block and allow greater increase advanced ignition timing, contributing to power in demanding situations. A new EGR valve runs from behind a piece of catalytic converters for the cover of the magazine.
Updates have also been made to the starter motor, now more powerful and faster to start. Starting time has been reduced to the point where full engine ignition occurs in ultra-quick succession from the point where the key reaches the start position.
Revised gear ratios are configured to take advantage of the additional engine torque for acceleration response during normal driving, towing heavy loads or towing loads. Gears 3 and 4 are approximately 5 percent lower to accommodate enhanced performance step.
The fully-automatic VTM-4 system provides confident, decision-free operation as rain, snow, ice, sand and mud, while improving road and towing performance by distributing torque to all four wheels, if necessary. The system mainly operates in front wheel drive in dry pavement cruising conditions and continuously proportions torque to the rear wheels during acceleration and low traction situations.
The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, commonly referred to as electronic stability control, can apply braking force to the wheel with traction at low engine directly to the wheel with more traction. For the rear differential, a "VTM-4" lock button located on the dashboard allows the driver to temporarily hold engagement of both rear wheels to help traction while running "1" and "2" at speeds up to 18 mph.
