Truck-Tough 4-Wheel Independent Suspension

What’s the Benefit?

Combined with its remarkably rigid unibody construction, the 4-wheel independent suspension of the Ridgeline helps provide a level of ride comfort, confidence-inspiring stability and fun-to-drive handling precision unknown to the rest of the truck world.

The Feature:

The steering, suspension and brakes have all been built to handle the greater stresses that trucks encounter when towing, hauling loads and operating off-road.

• Heavy-duty springs and shock absorbers provide a stable, secure ride without harshness, whether fully loaded or empty.
• In addition to its unique all-terrain tires and oil-pan skidplate, the Ridgeline TrailSport raises its off-road capability with retuned springs and dampers.
• Reinforced frame members, heavy-duty axles and bearings and oversized suspension arms all ensure exceptional strength and durability.
• Unlike trucks with live-axle suspensions, each of the Ridgeline wheels operates independently of the others and also has lower unsprung weight.
• Plus, the compact dimensions of the unique Ridgeline rear suspension enable it to feature the In-Bed Trunk^® as well as an exceptionally wide, flat bed floor.
