What the Honda Ridgeline TrailSport adds over other Ridgeline trims
The TrailSport is the Ridgeline trim built for outdoor use, and its 2026 starting MSRP is $45,995. Honda gives it the same 280-horsepower engine as the Sport, RTL and Black Edition, so the difference between those trims is equipment and price, not engine output.
According to Honda’s 2026 pricing release, starting MSRP climbs from $40,795 for the Ridgeline Sport, the lowest-priced Ridgeline trim, to $43,595 for the RTL and $45,995 for the TrailSport. The TrailSport + HPD Wheels lists at $47,195, the Black Edition at $47,395 and the Black Edition Two-Tone at $47,895.
If the outdoor equipment is why you are shopping, price the TrailSport. If the lowest starting figure matters most, price the Sport.
How much does a 2026 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport cost in Oklahoma?
A 2026 Ridgeline TrailSport starts at $45,995 MSRP, and Oklahoma adds state charges on top of that price. The biggest is the motor vehicle excise tax, which is 3.25% of the value of a new vehicle (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 2103, 2026).
Every figure in this example is hypothetical. Say a TrailSport sells for $45,995 with no trade-in. At 3.25%, the excise tax on that price would be $1,494.84.
Title and registration charges come on top. The Vehicle Title Fee is $11.00, the Transfer Fee is $17.00, the Insurance Fee is $1.50 and the VIN Inspection Fee is $4.00 (Service Oklahoma, 2026). The standard vehicle registration fee for the first four years is $96.00 (Service Oklahoma, 2026), and the fee schedule carries no charge for a periodic safety inspection or an emissions test (Service Oklahoma, 2026). Budget for those charges before you choose a trim.
How much can the 2026 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport tow and carry?
According to Honda’s 2026 specifications, the Ridgeline TrailSport is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. For carrying, Honda rates the TrailSport’s maximum payload at 1,521 pounds.
Before you tow, weigh your trailer and check it against the 5,000-pound rating. Payload covers everything in the truck, including passengers, cargo and the trailer tongue weight, so add those up before you compare any figure to the payload of the trim you buy.
What engine and EPA fuel economy does the Ridgeline TrailSport have?
The TrailSport has a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder engine rated at 280 horsepower at 6,000 and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,700, according to Honda’s 2026 specifications. The EPA certifies the AWD TrailSport at 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.
The AWD Ridgeline without the TrailSport trim is certified at 24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. If most of your miles are highway miles, compare those two highway numbers before you choose between them.
Which 2026 Ridgeline trim fits your budget and your load?
If budget comes first, the Ridgeline Sport has the lowest starting price at $40,795. If you want the outdoor equipment, the TrailSport starts at $45,995 and tows the same 5,000 pounds as the Sport.
Honda’s 2026 starting MSRP and maximum towing for four Ridgeline trims:
| Trim | Starting MSRP (USD) | Max towing (lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| Ridgeline Sport | $40,795 | 5,000 |
| Ridgeline RTL | $43,595 | 5,000 |
| Ridgeline TrailSport | $45,995 | 5,000 |
| Ridgeline Black Edition | $47,395 | 5,000 |
Every one of these trims tows 5,000 pounds, so the load you haul does not separate them. The budget and the equipment you will use do. Pick the trim by the equipment you need, then confirm the monthly payment fits before you agree to anything.
What warranty comes with a new 2026 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport?
A new 2026 Ridgeline TrailSport carries the warranty Honda publishes in its 2026 warranty booklet. Basic coverage runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Powertrain coverage runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit. Basic coverage ends at 36,000 miles, while powertrain coverage runs to 60,000, so a buyer who expects high mileage should weigh the longer powertrain term.
How do you finance a Ridgeline or trade in your truck in Oklahoma City?
Bob Howard Honda offers a secure online finance application, and we offer Honda leases alongside new and pre-owned financing. Both give you a way to pay for a Ridgeline in Oklahoma City.
A trade-in also changes your tax bill. Oklahoma’s sales tax is 1.25% of the price, and with a trade-in it is figured on the difference between the trade-in’s value and the sales price (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 1355(2), 2026). Know what your truck is worth before you compare payment offers.
