Honda Ridgeline Performance Overview
Honda’s unibody pickup has been tracked across 21 verified tests spanning 2006 to 2024, showing a clear shift from mid-eight-second acceleration to low-six-second runs. The first-generation Ridgeline (2006–2014) used the naturally aspirated J35A9 V6 with 250–255 hp and remained gasoline-only throughout. Early results ranged from the 2006 RTL at 9.3 seconds to 60 mph to the 2006 RTS at 7.9 seconds, before the 2009 RTL lowered the mark to 7.7 seconds. Across eight tests, that generation averaged 8.3 seconds to 60 mph.
The second-generation Ridgeline, introduced for 2017, brought the 280-hp naturally aspirated J35Y6/J35Y8 V6 and a notable step forward in straight-line pace. The 2017 RTL-E cut 0-60 to 6.4 seconds, the 2021 Sport HPD (5'4" Bed) reached 6.2 seconds, and the current benchmark is the 2024 TrailSport (5'4" Bed) at 6.0 seconds, also posting the model’s quickest 14.6-second quarter-mile at 94 mph. Today, the Ridgeline stands as a consistently quicker gasoline-only pickup than it was at launch, with the current second generation averaging 6.63 seconds to 60 mph and covering the full model range from 6.0 to 9.3 seconds.
