2023 Honda Ridgeline Towing Capacity
Honda has streamlined the drivetrains employed by the 2023 Ridgeline compared to previous models, making the automaker’s robust and capable all-wheel drive system standard equipment. In addition to providing additional confidence on less-than-ideal road conditions, this choice has given all four 2023 Honda Ridgeline trim grades (Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition) a peak towing capacity of 2,267 kg (5,000 lbs.). Additionally, every trim comes wired with a seven-pin trailer connection.
Additional Towing Features
A truck’s ability to tow is more than just how much power its engine can produce. In the case of the 2023 Ridgeline, its naturally aspirated 3.5-litre, V-6 engine will make 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. But Honda goes further in making the following items standard across the board to help the truck tow more efficiently and safely:
- Heavy-duty automatic transmission cooler
- Pre-wired for trailer brake controller
- Heavy-duty radiator with dual variable speed fans
