The 2009 Honda Ridgeline is built on an integrated closed-box frame, which features unibody construction. All these specifications reduce Ridgeline's noises on the road and provide sedan-like ride and handling! The unibody construction also adds strength and rigidity. The sport utility truck has already been appreciated by many drivers for its comfortable, quiet and versatile ride, and this is what helps set Ridgeline apart from other trucks in its segment.

There are also a number of components that differentiate the latest Ridgeline from a typical truck. These include a four-wheel independent suspension that provides stability and good handling on rough road surfaces. Honda's VTM-4 (Variable Torque Management) system ensures confident, decision-free operation in any kind of weather condition or on any kind of road. While, this automatic four-wheel drive system predominately operates in front-wheel drive mode during normal driving conditions, it also sends torque to all wheels when needed, especially during acceleration and low traction situations.

Ridgeline's speed-proportional power steering also offers good response. Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, or the electronic stability control can apply braking force to a wheel with low traction and direct driving force to the wheel with more traction. Apart, for 2009, RTL trim receives 18-inch wheels, which help improve its ride.
