Joliet, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2011 -- Illinois Honda shoppers looking for a versatile truck with style are sure to be impressed with new 2011 Honda Ridgeline. This spacious and durable vehicle is well equipped inside and out and is already a favorite among Illinois Honda fans. Offering safety, comfort, and power, the new 2011 Honda Ridgeline offers excellence in the form of a truck.

Available in three trims – RT, RTS, and RTL – the 2011 Honda Ridgeline has been engineered to handle any number of automotive demands. Each trim includes a standard Class III trailer hitch, an integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction, and a Steel-Reinforced Composite cargo bed. The Ridgeline’s independent suspension and sophisticated 4WD system are designed to handle heavy-duty work and play, but also provide a surprisingly agile ride. In addition, the Ridgeline’s advanced 4-wheel independent suspension and chassis have been designed for towing, hauling and occasional off-road use.

Under the hood Illinois Honda shoppers will find a 3.5-liter, 24-valve SOHC VTEC V6 engine capable of producing 250 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque for impressive towing capabilities. The engine is coupled to an advanced, electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission and fully automatic 4-wheel-drive system.

Designed for enhanced crash protection, the Ridgeline also offers peace of mind to all Illinois Honda owners. The new truck has a tough backbone that incorporates an integrated closed-box frame and a reinforced unit body. For superior defense during an impact, the Ridgeline’s passengers are surrounded by no less than six standard airbags. The array of coverage includes dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System, and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor.

Also standard on every 2011 Ridgeline are a variety of accident avoidance technologies. Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control helps drivers stay on the road and in control, even during less than desirable road conditions. Beefy 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), along with Brake Assist, allows full braking force for authoritative stopping. And for better road composure, the Electronic Brake Distribution helps balance braking forces.
