Buyers can choose between the new black roof and a body color roof. You have four trims to choose from for the 2026 Ridgeline, all with AWD capability. The base trim is the Ridgeline Sport, which is loaded with features. This truck is sure to stand out with exclusive features, a unibody construction that’s quite unique for mid-size trucks, and new colors. Two Decades for the Ridgeline The Honda Ridgeline has been impressing buyers for two decades, built in America from the beginning. This mid-size truck is designed as a recreational truck with versatility for active lifestyles and off-roading prowess to enhance your sense of adventure. Ridgeline has been the proud winner of the North American Truck of the Year Award twice, first in 2006, then again in 2017. Known for its utility and versatility, the second-generation Ridgeline also brings in comfort, innovation, and more options with packages and accessories. Ridgeline was first introduced in 2005 at the North American Auto Show, which offered a unique perspective on mid-size trucks with a unibody construction and composite bed reinforced by steel. The standard bed is extra wide, allowing more room to haul bigger items. The second-generation Ridgeline now makes the extra-wide bed out of glass fiber-reinforced SMC composite. The result is fewer dents and scratches even without a bed liner. Exclusive Features Honda developed several exclusive features for the Ridgeline, including the first Dual-Action Tailgate.

Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program

Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program

The entire team at Prescott Honda is proud to be a part of this community and the larger community that is the United States of America. We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our friends and neighbors in the communities of Prescott Valley, Cottonwood, and Chino Valley. And we are just as proud to be part of the Honda family of dealerships as Honda pledges to continue its long-time support of the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Program. This year, Honda will generously donate $1,000,000 to assist in allowing the organization to meet the needs of victims of disasters in the coming year. Sadly, there are more than 65,000 incidents annually that are classified as disasters and leave victims struggling to simply meet their basic needs for shelter, food, and water. The funds donated by Honda will help the Red Cross continue to be a beacon of hope for those facing significant struggles and losses due to disasters beyond their control. more Honda’s Long History Of Giving For more than 30 years, Honda has been giving back to communities across the nation by supporting the Red Cross. This support has been focused on disasters near the Honda facilities in some cases and across the country as needed. From the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, when terrorists attacked the citizens of New York and Washington, DC, to the victims who were left homeless and with nothing after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf area, the Red Cross and Honda have been providing for these people in their darkest hour. Earlier this year, the Red Cross was called upon to assist victims of the California wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles. This undertaking was massive in comparison to other fire damage in terms of size. Still, it was handled in much the same manner as other fires, such as the Yarnell Hill Fire that claimed the lives of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who residents in Arizona will never forget. All of these disasters, along with countless others, continue to occur. And if not for the support of Honda and other generous businesses, the Red Cross would not be able to meet the needs of these victims, who are sometimes far across the country and at different times once lived right in our own backyards. What Honda’s Support Allows The Red Cross To Do According to experts at the Red Cross, they are called upon every eight minutes around the clock to come to the aid of someone in need. The call could be related to a large-scale natural disaster or accident, or the victim could have just suffered a house fire and lost everything. However, the Red Cross is there to work diligently to meet the needs of those who are unable to help themselves at that moment. It is also critical to note that 90% of those who respond to these calls for help are volunteers. If you are not in a position to offer the Red Cross financial support to continue their essential work and services to communities across the country, please consider giving your time to help them help others. And continue to support Prescott Honda with your loyalty and business to ensure Honda and the Honda family of dealerships are able to continue to give back to the Red Cross, allowing them to help others in need.
