The 2026 Honda Ridgeline is more than a rugged truck that performs confidently on any terrain. It’s also an incredibly strong vehicle that features a specially-designed unibody frame. Come see the team at Jim Riehl’s Friendly Honda to find out what sets this model apart.
What Is Unibody Construction?
Most pickup trucks are constructed with a body-on-frame design, which basically means that the cabin, bed, motor, suspension, and other components sit on top of the frame. Unibody trucks like the 2026 Honda Ridgeline, on the other hand, make the frame and body one single unit.
Benefits of Unibody Design
Thanks to its unibody design, the 2026 Honda Ridgeline is more rigid and stable than traditional body-on-frame trucks and gives you a smoother riding experience with less exterior noise and vibration. In this particular truck, nearly half of the body and frame are constructed with ultra-high-strength steel for the strongest and most rigid unit possible.
The result is a brawny truck that’ll make you feel like you’re driving on a cloud even when you’re traversing rough terrain. In addition to its unibody construction, it includes performance features like a MacPherson strut front suspension, a multi-link rear suspension, and i-VTM4® all-wheel drive. The 18-inch wheels and available all-terrain tires will smoothly roll over obstacles in your path, and the 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine gives you an impressive towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.
