2022 Honda Ridgeline: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Honda Ridgeline is a true carryover with no major changes. It keeps the same four-trim lineup and core equipment introduced before this model year.
About the 2022 Honda Ridgeline
2nd generation Ridgeline, second year after the 2021 refresh.
The 2022 Ridgeline is Honda’s comfort-first midsize pickup. Honda centers it on standard V6 power, standard i-VTM4 AWD, a fully independent suspension, a roomy five-seat cabin, and storage ideas other midsize trucks do not match, especially the dual-action tailgate and lockable in-bed trunk. It is aimed at people who want real truck usefulness for home projects, bikes, tailgating, and weekend gear, but who still care about easy everyday driving, cabin comfort, and family-friendly space.
The Sport covers the practical basics with a 280-hp V6, standard AWD, an 8-inch touchscreen, a dual-action tailgate, and a lockable in-bed trunk. RTL adds comfort features such as leather and heated front seats, while RTL-E brings navigation, premium audio, bed audio, and a bed power outlet. Black Edition pairs the RTL-E's feature set with dark exterior trim, red cabin accents, and red ambient lighting.

4.4
2022 Honda Ridgeline
(2,481 reviews)
“Very versatile vehicle, comfortable ride and spacious interior, AWD is great, gets great gas mileage for a large mid-size vehicle. "Trunk" feature is unique and useful, but refreshed infotainment is needed. Hopefully Honda keeps the infotainment simple, just speeds up the unit and modernizes the look.”
“Love the vehicle. The infotainment is absolutely horrid. And the Apple CarPlay only works half the time. Have to routinely pull over and shut off vehicle and start back up to fix the infotainment.”
