As the forerunner of the modern midsize truck trend, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline continues a two-decade tradition of merging daily driving with a taste of adventure. Klein Honda has the Honda Ridgeline for sale near Seattle to serve Emerald City drivers who want a truck that easily navigates the urban sprawl yet will let them explore the farther reaches of western Washington when the mood strikes. The big question is which Ridgeline trim you should set your sights on: the Sport, RTL, TrailSport, or Black Edition.
Each 2025 Honda Ridgeline shares several features that make them excellent trucks. They're powered by a spirited 3.5L V6 engine with 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, delivering brisk acceleration and giddy-up from the nine-speed automatic transmission. The Ridgeline also has a 5,000-lb towing capacity with standard AWD, MacPherson front struts, a multi-link rear suspension with coil-over springs, and 18-inch alloy wheels for velvety driving dynamics. Many great infotainment and cabin features are along for the ride, including a nine-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth streaming, a wireless phone charger, and a sunglasses holder.
So, what separates each trim of the Ridgeline? We're here to give you the scoop, as the four trims all have unique design elements and amenities that make them distinct. Our 2025 Honda Ridgeline trim guide has all the details so that you can get what you want and need at the right price.
The 2025 Ridgeline Sport: Fun, Sensible, and Affordable
Even on a budget, you want a truck that can do a lot and feels good to drive. The 2025 Ridgeline Sport is perfect for everyday Seattle drivers, taking them effortlessly from Bitter Lake to the Space Needle and everywhere in between. Its animated powertrain is complemented by an intelligent traction management system with Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes for the many driving conditions you encounter in the Pacific Northwest.
There's plenty of standard safety tech that also improves driving quality, including vehicle stability assistance, electronic brake distribution, and hill start assistance. Do you need to protect sensitive gear or equipment? Stow it using the lockable in-bed trunk, which measures over seven cubic feet. There's also a dual-action tailgate for easy access and all-LED headlights, brake lights, and fog lights to see clearly. Inside the Ridgeline Sport, there is an incredible amount of front headroom, as well as all the standard convenience features you could want.
You'll enjoy the ride with automatic tri-zone climate control, rear under-seat storage, light-up steering wheel controls, a sunglasses holder, a seven-speaker sound system with a subwoofer, and both USB-A and USB-C front charging ports. Finally, the Ridgeline Sport comes with the Honda Sensing suite of nine standard driver assistance features, including lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, a forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control.
The 2025 Ridgeline RTL: A Daily Driver With Extra Comfort
While the Ridgeline Sport is a practical truck, some drivers may have the desire and the cash for a few more bells and whistles. For those drivers, the 2025 Ridgeline RTL (which stands for "Ridgeline Truck Luxury") will fit the bill. Mechanically, it's identical to the Sport, but it adds useful functions and chic amenities. When you're out on a beautiful night, you can bask in the starry sky, thanks to the one-touch tilting power moonroof. There's also a power sliding rear window to access cargo, and an acoustic-lined windshield helps reduce road noise. Heated side mirrors quickly clear up your rear vision from fog, rain, or snow.
The luxurious upgrades to the Honda Ridgeline RTL continue in the cabin. You'll be treated to a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and a four-way power passenger seat, both of which are heated and have leather trim. The driver's seat includes customizable memory settings for two navigators, both of whom will enjoy gripping the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The infotainment system adds SiriusXM satellite radio capability with a three-month free trial for new subscribers. Light-up vanity mirrors, LED map lights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror complete the interior loadout. Honda also includes the HomeLink system for car-to-home locks, lighting, and other smart controls.
The 2025 Ridgeline TrailSport: The Steed for Getting Away
When you want to venture away from I-5 and explore less-traveled terrain, the 2025 Ridgeline TrailSport will take you there. It has an off-road-tuned suspension and General Grabber all-terrain tires to improve grip and braking performance on dirt, grass, gravel, and sand. You can even ford a little water to reach your destination—and the aggressive tire tread is surprisingly quiet when you return to the highway. An underbody skid plate protects the drivetrain, and the side mirrors have power folding when you need to squeeze through tight gaps. LED daytime running lights help visibility on cloudy Seattle days.
As you step into the Ridgeline TrailSport, your feet will rest on all-season floor mats that shield the carpet from the grime of outdoor adventures. Honda knows TrailSport owners can go anywhere, and they will help you get there with built-in satellite-based navigation; this system allows voice commands and includes Honda HD Digital Traffic to get away from congested routes and find open roads. Honda also adds two front parking sensors and four rear sensors. Lastly, light-up drink holders, orange ambient LED lighting, and orange steering wheel stitching are a nice touch for street or off-road rambling.
The 2025 Ridgeline Black Edition: A Sophisticated Adventurer
Do you want to feel like you're in an extravagant full-size truck while getting all the Ridgeline's midsize functionality and then some? The 2025 Ridgeline Black Edition is your pickup. On the inside, Honda overhauls the audio experience with a 540-watt, eight-speaker system for audiophiles who want concert-level sound in their vehicle. You also get HD Radio for digital clarity and bonus stations; plus, there are two rear USB-C charging ports, so everyone can keep their devices ready to go.
The navigation system is retained for on-demand directions around Seattle, and you get courtesy front door lights to see as you're getting in. The rear outboard seats are heated for winter comfort, and cooling ventilation is added to the front seats for those humid Pacific Northwest summers. You'll be comfortable year-round! Red ambient lighting with matching steering wheel stitching nicely contrasts the upholstery.
As for the Ridgeline Black Edition's exterior, the most noticeable highlight is the LED truck bed lamps, which help you see when loading cargo at night; they also look awesome when cruising through the neighborhood. The bed also has a power outlet with up to 400 watts for running camping or tailgating supplies. Black wheels and lugnuts give the truck a quasi-blackout look, which you can enhance with the optional Tailgate Blackout Package.
