Honda Ridgeline V6 power and towing for Tulsa truck buyers
Tulsa truck buyers who want a Honda Ridgeline start with one question: can it pull what they haul? The maker rates the Ridgeline’s 3.5-liter V6 at 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, with a maximum towing rating of 5,000 pounds. Those figures come from the manufacturer, and they show how the Ridgeline fits the boats, trailers and work gear that Tulsa truck owners move. South Pointe Honda in Tulsa, rated 4.6 stars across 6,344 Google reviews, sells the Ridgeline new.

Is the Honda Ridgeline V6 strong enough to tow in Tulsa?
Yes. The Ridgeline’s 3.5-liter V6 makes 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque on the Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport, and the maker rates each of those four trims to tow 5,000 pounds. That towing rating is the number to plan every trailer around. South Pointe Honda in Tulsa sells the Ridgeline new, so a buyer can match the trim to the load before signing anything.
How much can the 2026 Honda Ridgeline tow with all-wheel drive?
The maker publishes a maximum towing rating of 5,000 pounds for the 2026 Ridgeline Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport. The EPA certification record lists all-wheel drive on the Ridgeline’s rated models, so that 5,000-pound figure is the ceiling for a Tulsa buyer’s trailer.
A buyer should treat 5,000 pounds as the limit for the whole rig. The loaded trailer counts, and so do the boat, fuel, gear and anything stored on the trailer. Keep a margin below the rating for the load you add later.
Can a Ridgeline pull a lake boat or camper from Tulsa?
Yes, if the loaded rig weighs less than the 5,000-pound maximum towing rating on the Black Edition, RTL, Sport or TrailSport. A boat headed to Grand Lake or Keystone is a loaded trailer, and its total weight is what counts against that rating.
A camper adds its dry weight plus water, propane and gear, and those can use up the rating quickly. Weigh the rig loaded, the way it will travel, before the first trip.
What do the Ridgeline’s bed and payload carry for work and weekends?
On the Black Edition, the maker rates the Ridgeline’s payload at 1,509 pounds, and its bed measures 64.0 inches long. Payload is everything the truck carries, including passengers, cargo in the cab, and tools, lumber or mulch in the bed.
A buyer hauling work gear should plan around the payload rating and also weigh the bed length. Add up the people and the gear before the truck is loaded, so the total stays under 1,509 pounds.
How does Ridgeline all-wheel drive handle Oklahoma rain, ice and gravel?
The Ridgeline’s EPA record lists all-wheel drive, and the Black Edition stands 7.64 inches off the ground. That clearance figure is the one to compare against a gravel road, a steep drive or a low spot after a storm.
Which 2026 Ridgeline trim fits a Tulsa truck buyer?
A buyer who wants the lowest starting price among these trims starts with the Sport. The four trims below carry the same 5,000-pound towing rating, so the choice comes down to price and equipment.
- Sport: $40,795 starting MSRP
- RTL: $43,595
- TrailSport: $45,995
- TrailSport + HPD Wheels: $47,195
- Black Edition: $47,395
- Black Edition Two-Tone: $47,895
Set the budget first, then check that the trim you can afford still covers the trailer you tow.

I showed up to the dealer and said “you have a blah blah blah. I want it.” So they brought the car, we did a test drive. I sat down, bought the car. Went back to finance. Got 2 warranties, and still made it out at my budget. There was no pressure. There was no aggressive sales tactics. I finished the test drive and he just said “alright. Want it?” And the rest was history. Thanks for the easy and pleasant experience, Chance Oviedo.”

Frequently asked questions
Does the Honda Ridgeline have a V6 engine?
Yes. The EPA certification record lists a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder engine on both rated Ridgeline models, the AWD and the AWD TrailSport. The engine pairs with an automatic transmission on both.
Does the Ridgeline come with all-wheel drive?
Yes. The EPA record lists all-wheel drive for both rated Ridgeline models, the AWD and the AWD TrailSport. A buyer comparing the two should check the trim name on the window sticker.
What should a buyer check before towing a trailer with a Ridgeline?
Start with the 5,000-pound maximum towing rating on the Black Edition, RTL, Sport and TrailSport. Weigh the loaded trailer, not just the empty one. Add the cargo, fuel and gear you will carry, because all of it counts against the same rating.

The EPA certification record rates the AWD at 18 miles per gallon in the city, 24 on the highway and 21 combined, and the AWD TrailSport at 18 city, 23 highway and 20 combined. The highway number is where the two differ.

In a November 2025 Google review, Christian B. wrote: “People told me about “Jake,” but I assumed he was just a dealership myth, like Bigfoot, but with better customer service. Then I met him. He greeted me with a handshake so sincere that my credit score went up 12 points. He asked what I was looking for, and within seconds, he had identified the perfect vehicle for me “based on my vibe.” The man doesn’t sell cars. He pairs souls with engines. I left with a car I love, a deal that felt illegal (in a good way), and the deep, unshakable belief that Jake might actually be a wizard.”
