Is the Honda Ridgeline a good truck for Oklahoma City drivers?
The Ridgeline suits Oklahoma City drivers who want a truck bed and a daily car in one vehicle. Bob Howard Honda on North Kelley Avenue stocks it, and our Google record is 4.5 stars across 4,311 reviews (Google, 2026).
Commuting is most of what a daily car does. The Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s 2025 Urban Mobility Report puts Oklahoma City at 64 annual person hours of delay per commuter in 2024, with a travel time index of 1.23. Honda rates the Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport at 5,000 pounds of maximum towing for the 2026 model year, so the commute and a weekend tow can share one truck. Of our 4,311 reviews, 82 in 100 are five-star.
What engine and horsepower does the Honda Ridgeline V6 have?
The Ridgeline runs a 3.5-liter V6 with six cylinders and an automatic transmission. Honda rates the Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport at 280 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm.
Those figures are the same on all four trims, so the engine does not change between them. The EPA record lists the AWD and AWD TrailSport with the same 3.5-liter V6 and all-wheel drive, which matters on the wet, icy mornings Oklahoma City gets in winter.
How many miles per gallon does the Honda Ridgeline get?
The EPA rates the 2026 Ridgeline AWD at 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. The AWD TrailSport is rated at 18 city, 23 highway and 20 combined.
These are certified figures, the numbers on the window sticker. The EPA combined figure is a weighted blend of city mpg at 55% and highway mpg at 45%, so city driving counts for more in the number you see. According to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s 2025 Urban Mobility Report, Oklahoma City commuters burned 19 extra gallons of fuel each in 2024 sitting in congestion. That is the fuel cost the city’s traffic adds on top of the EPA figure.
How big is the Honda Ridgeline bed and what fits in it?
The Black Edition’s bed is 64.0 inches long, and it carries a maximum payload of 1,509 pounds. Payload is the weight the truck can carry, passengers and cargo included.
Bed length sets the longest board that lies flat, so measure the lumber you haul against 64 inches before you buy. A load that stays inside that length and inside the payload rating is the load this bed was built to carry.
How much can the Honda Ridgeline tow and haul?
Honda rates the Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport at 5,000 pounds of maximum towing for the 2026 model year. The Black Edition’s payload rating is 1,509 pounds.
The towing rating is the same on all four trims, so it does not decide between them. Price does. Add the trailer’s loaded weight rather than its empty weight, and check the total against 5,000 pounds before you hitch up.
Which Honda Ridgeline trim fits an Oklahoma City buyer?
The Sport starts at $40,795 and the Black Edition Two-Tone starts at $47,895. In between, the RTL starts at $43,595, the TrailSport at $45,995, the TrailSport + HPD Wheels at $47,195 and the Black Edition at $47,395.
The Sport carries the same 5,000-pound towing rating as the Black Edition, so a buyer who tows gets the same rating at the lower price. A buyer who wants the most trim can compare the Black Edition at $47,395 with the Two-Tone at $47,895.
