The holidays are great, but that’s actually not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the magical period that lasts roughly from October to December in the auto business: New Model Announcement Time.
This month, we’re celebrating one of the best small trucks on the market the 2024 Honda Ridgeline. Honda has some exciting new additions in store for 2024, and Kansas City drivers are going to love what’s coming next.

Introducing the Honda Ridgeline TrailSport
For the 2022 model year, Honda unveiled their new off-road brand with the Passport TrailSport, quickly followed by the Pilot TrailSport. Now, the Ridgeline is finally donning the TrailSport badge – marking the first truly off-road focused Honda truck.
The Ridgeline TrailSport receives upgrades in suspension, tires, and underbody reinforcements. Reworked stabilizer bars and springs provide improved articulation on and off pavement, while standard General Grabber A/T Sport tires enhance capability in snow, mud, sand, and gravel – perfect for Midwest weather and weekend trips outside Kansas City.
Steel skid plates protect key mechanical components, allowing you to explore trails confidently. Honda’s intelligent all-wheel drive system uses torque vectoring to distribute power individually to each wheel, enhancing traction and cornering – especially useful during winter driving in Kansas and Missouri.
The onboard traction management system features preset terrain modes so drivers can tailor performance based on road conditions.
TrailSport also brings exclusive styling. Inside, you’ll find embroidered logos, custom stitching, and ambient orange lighting. Outside, it’s available in the bold new Diffused Sky Blue finish.
Updated Technology and Interior Comfort
The 2024 Ridgeline isn’t just adventure-ready — it has also received a major cabin upgrade.
The center touchscreen now measures nine inches diagonally, up from eight inches in the previous model year. Navigation has been refined for easier use, and a new internal processor helps eliminate screen delay.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ now come standard across all trims. The Black Edition trim includes an upgraded premium audio system for drivers who want enhanced sound quality during daily commutes around Overland Park, Shawnee, or downtown Kansas City.
The driver information display now features a seven-inch digital screen with selectable functions through steering-mounted controls. Interior storage has expanded thanks to a larger center console and tray.
Available trims for the 2024 Honda Ridgeline include:
- Sport
- RTL
- TrailSport

New Year, Same Great Performance
The Ridgeline continues with its direct-injection V6 engine producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Variable cylinder management, active noise cancellation, and hill start assist are standard features.
According to EPA estimates, the Ridgeline achieves up to 24 MPG on the highway — impressive efficiency for a midsize truck.
Utility remains a major strength. The Ridgeline offers:
- 1,583 pounds of payload capacity
- 5,000 pounds of standard towing capacity
- Nearly 34 cubic feet of cargo box space
- 7.3 cubic feet of lockable in-bed trunk storage with drain plug
The lockable in-bed trunk doubles as a built-in cooler, making it ideal for tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium or camping trips across Missouri.
The truck bed also includes a dual-action tailgate, eight tie-down cleats, and an available 150W/400W power outlet — making it one of the most versatile trucks in its class.
Honda Sensing® Safety Technology

- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Braking
