2025 Honda Ridgeline Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is a midsize crew-cab pickup offered in four trim levels: Sport, RTL, TrailSport and Black Edition. All Ridgelines are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine (280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque) mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It's offered in a single configuration with four doors and a 5-foot-4-inch bed. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Ridgeline's most significant standard features and options.

Sport
The base Sport trim starts you off with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Lights in the truck bed
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • 9-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Seven-speaker sound system
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Class III trailer hitch with seven-pin connector
  • Honda Sensing safety suite that includes:
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Ridgeline back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
    • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
    • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

RTL
Moving up to the RTL adds several creature comforts such as:

  • Noise-reducing front windshield
  • Heated mirrors
  • Sunroof
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable, heated front seats
  • Leather upholstery

TrailSport
Upgrades the Ridgeline with:

  • All-terrain tires
  • Off-road-tuned suspension
  • Underbody skid plate
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Synthetic upholstery with orange stitching
  • Navigation system
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Black Edition
The Black Edition has the same features as the TrailSport minus the off-road upgrades and special synthetic upholstery. It also comes with:

  • Blacked-out exterior trim
  • Black leather interior with red accents
  • Black wheels
  • Upgraded sound system
  • Second-row USB charge ports
  • Household-style power outlet in the bed
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated outboard rear seats

Several packages are available across the Ridgeline range including:

  • Function+ package
    • Utility hooks
    • In-bed cargo net
    • All-season floor mats
    • Cargo bed cover
  • HPD+ (Honda Performance Development) package
    • Black-colored wheels
    • Fender flares
    • HPD emblems and decals
    • Special front grille
    • Oil pan guard
  • Utility+ package
    • Roof rails and crossbars
    • Running boards

Which Ridgeline trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think it's worth it to spring for the Black Edition. Pricing for the Ridgeline trim levels is tightly clustered, and so the Black Edition demands a small premium for otherwise unobtainable luxuries like ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats and an upgraded sound system. You'd better want a black interior, though, since that's the only choice.
