"Like its predecessor, the 2017 Ridgeline defes conven-
tional wisdom with its unibody construction and all
the benefts that brings in terms of ride, handling,
packaging, safety and bed utility—as well as breakthrough
features like the Truck Bed Audio system. The Ridgeline
is the kind of product people expect of Honda—something
challenging and innovative in how it seeks to create new
value for the customer.
"It's to the credit of our North American R&D; and manu-
facturing teams that this new Ridgeline is coming out of the
blocks with such positive momentum." So states Jef Conrad,
senior vice president and general manager, Honda Division,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., of the second-generation of
2017 HONDA RIDGELINE:
Second Time Is a Charm
The only controversial thing
about the second-generation
Honda Ridgeline is how it has
midsize-truck capabilities in a
package that is as well executed
as an Accord sedan.
