Is Honda making a truck?

Yes. Honda currently sells a pickup—the Ridgeline—and has not announced a plan for a new traditional truck in the near term.


Current Honda Truck Offering


Honda's only current truck in North America is the Ridgeline, a midsize pickup known for its carlike ride and unibody construction. Since its introduction in 2005 and a major refresh in the late 2010s, the Ridgeline has carved out a niche focused on comfort, practicality, and on-road capability rather than rugged, body-on-frame toughness.


Below are the core specifications and features that define the Ridgeline in today’s market.



  • Model: Honda Ridgeline

  • Class: Midsize pickup

  • Platform: Unibody construction based on the Honda Pilot

  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive standard; all-wheel drive available

  • Engine: 3.5-liter V6

  • Transmission: 9-speed automatic

  • Notable features: In-bed trunk, dual-action tailgate, independent rear suspension

  • Towing capacity: Up to about 5,000 pounds (configuration dependent)

  • Payload: Around 1,500–1,600 pounds (configuration dependent)

  • Production/location: North American assembly, historically at Honda plants in the U.S.


In short, the Ridgeline remains Honda’s flagship truck in the market today, offering a distinct blend of on-road comfort and everyday practicality rather than rugged, body-on-frame capability.


Future plans and industry context


Honda has signaled a broader shift toward electrification, SUVs, and crossovers as it outlines its long-term product strategy. There is no official timetable or formal announcement for a new body-on-frame Honda pickup to replace or supplement the Ridgeline in the near term. This stance aligns with the company’s emphasis on electrified powertrains and shared platforms across segments rather than developing a second traditional truck lineup right away.


What to watch next


Industry observers will be watching Honda’s upcoming disclosures, including investor-day presentations and auto-show debuts, for any concrete statements about a future truck. Any definite plans would likely come with details about platform strategy, powertrains, and whether an EV pickup is part of the roadmap.


Summary: As of now, Honda’s truck presence centers on the Ridgeline. There is no confirmed plan to launch a new traditional pickup, and future offerings will likely align with Honda’s broader electrification and SUV-focused strategy.
