Today, we are looking at some massive news regarding one of the most civilized and practical midsize pickups on the road today: the Honda Ridgeline.
If you've been reading the headlines lately, you might have seen some wild rumors that Honda is completely throwing in the towel and canceling the Ridgeline. But what I have already reported at Torque News, that is not what's happening at all!
Honda is actually planning a temporary production pause for the Ridgeline starting in late 2026, which will last about a year and a half. The assembly lines in Alabama will stay quiet until the second half of 2028. Now, taking your only pickup truck off the market for eighteen months sounds like a massive gamble, but the Carbuzz report reveals that this decision is driven by three major corporate issues, and only one of them actually has to do with the truck itself.
