Cars.com recently recognized the 2017 Honda Ridgeline as number 4 on its “American Made” index, and the top truck on this list. While it may sound surprising for a Honda vehicle to receive this award, vehicles are ranked based on assembly location, domestic-parts content, US factory employment, engine origin and transmission origin, according to the article on Cars.com.

The second-generation Ridgeline has a more traditional truck look than its earlier model, which stopped production in 2014. Available in all-wheel or two-wheel drive, the Ridgeline sports a 3.5-liter V6 engine, providing plenty of speed and pickup for highway driving and passing. A roomy interior, including a five-person cabin, sets the Ridgeline apart from competitors. There’s room to spare up front, and the rear seats flip down to allow for gear storage inside the cabin. Gear can also be stowed under the seats when they’re upright. The Ridgeline offers towing capacity maxed at 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive, less than some leading pickups, but enough to meet many standard towing needs.
Technology keeps you connected and in control with a touch screen offering all the latest bells and whistles including navigation, audio and hands-free phone access. The optional “Honda Assist” add-on provides a camera and radar for adaptive cruise control.
