Honda gave its Ridgeline a refresh last year, so as expected this year the Ridgeline doesn’t see any major updates save a standard rear view camera on all models.

Pricing also remains unchanged from 2012. Rhe Ridgeline RT starts at $30,180 while the Ridgeline Sport is priced from $30,925. Moving on up the trim models, the RTS variant starts at $32,885 and the top-of-the-line RTL is $35,760. Those looking to include navigation on the RTL model will have to shell out $38,110.

Hardly a hulking truc, the 2013 Ridgeline is powered by a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 engine with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

Standard towing equipment on the Ridgeline includes an integrated tow hitch, transmission and oil coolers, heavy duty brakes, dual radiator fans, and a wiring harness for a seven-pin trailer hookup.
