Despite their convenience, standard pickup trucks can often be a hassle with their fuel inefficiency and poor handling. The Honda Ridgeline, with its car-like handling and driving dynamics, coupled with an excellent fuel economy, makes a very compelling case for being the most practical light-duty pickup out there. Read on to learn why more and more people are turning to the 2024 Honda Ridgeline for their daily driver. Formidable Powertrain The 2024 Ridgeline comes equipped with a robust 3.5-liter V6 producing 280 HP and 262 lb-ft of torque, which allows this truck to sprint from zero to 60 mph in an impressive 6 seconds, boast a 1600-pound payload capacity, and tow trailers, campers, or boats weighing up to 5,000 pounds! Spectacular Handling When most people get behind the wheel of a Ridgeline, they immediately compliment its "car-like" feel and excellent road manners. And this is not by chance either; the Ridgeline was specifically given an unibody construction, unlike the conventional body-on-frame construction of other pickup trucks, that allows it to feel and handle like a much smaller vehicle. Therefore, making tight turns and fitting into tight spots are just the order of the day when it comes to the Ridgeline. Moreover, the slick-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, ultra-responsive electric steering system, stable base, and standard all-wheel drive make the 2024 Ridgeline incredibly fun to drive, while the strut front suspension and independent rear suspension allow it to absorb bumps with ease for a smooth and composed ride. Spacious and Ultra-Comfortable Interior With up to 109 cubic feet of passenger space, the Ridgeline's cabin feels like a lounge, accommodating five tall adults comfortably. For families with little ones, they'll be glad to know that the large rear seat can handle child seats with ease. Moreover, the rear seat not only split-folds to allow you more cargo space, but also has a massive storage area underneath to increase your cargo-carrying capacity. In addition to being roomy, the Ridgeline's interior can be incredibly luxurious with the available all-leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, acoustic windshield, heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, and sunroof. Lots of Convenient Tech The 2024 Ridgeline comes with numerous technologies to ensure you stay connected, entertained, and safe while out on the road. For connectivity and entertainment, you get a 9-inch intuitive infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Navigation, SiriusXM, HD Radio, Pandora, and a powerful 8-speaker, 540-watt state-of-the-art surround system are also available. The Ridgeline features several Driver Assist technologies to keep you safe, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision intervention, and lane-keeping assist.

When you need to put your car in storage, preparation is essential. Taking these steps before putting your Honda will ensure that it's still in great shape when you return. Tips for Preparing Your Honda for Long-Term Storage Give it a Good Cleaning Dirt, grease, bird droppings, and other debris can cause damage over time. A thorough wash and waxing will prevent paint damage and corrosion. If you have leather or vinyl seats, wipe them down with a conditioner to prevent cracking. You should also clean out any trash and vacuum the interior; crumbs can attract pests. Keep Unwanted Guests Out A parked car is a tempting shelter for rodents. Mice can sneak in through the air intake and exhaust pipe, so plug those openings with steel wool to keep them out. You can also try a natural deterrent, such as peppermint oil or cayenne. Making sure the area around your car is clean can help prevent a rodent infestation. If your Honda is parked in a garage, a few traps around the room can give you additional peace of mind. Prevent Corrosion Before parking your Honda for a month or more, fill up the gas tank. Condensation can build up in an empty tank, leading to rust. For further protection, add a fuel stabilizer. Change the oil as well; contaminants in used oil can corrode your engine. Park it Properly Don't use your parking brake for long-term storage. When the parking brake is engaged for too long, the brake pads can fuse to the rotors. Wheel chocks can make sure your car stays put. However, if your Honda is going to be parked for more than 30 days, consider taking off the wheels and putting it on jack stands instead. Tires can go flat or even warp if allowed to sit in one place too long. Taking the time to put your car on jack stands can save you the cost of a new set of tires. Keep the Battery Charged Even if no one is driving the car, the battery will drain over time. To avoid coming home to a dead battery, you can simply disconnect it while your car is in storage. Another option is to use a battery maintainer to keep your battery charged and ready to go. Protect it From the Elements The best place to store your Honda is a climate-controlled garage, but if that's not an option, there are other ways to shield it from the weather. Lubricate latches and hinges to prevent rust and freezing. Wrap your wiper blades in plastic to prevent them from sticking to your windshield. Finally, cover the vehicle with a breathable, water-repellant car cover. Thorough preparation can save you a lot of hassle and expense when you and your Honda are reunited. If you need a tune-up before putting your Honda in storage, contact Coeur d'Alene Honda in Coeur d'Alene, ID today to schedule service.
