2012 Honda Ridgeline Truck

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Refreshed for 2012, the Honda Ridgeline is mid-size sport utility truck powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. 4WD is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission to enable an EPA estimated 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Features include steel reinforced cargo bed, lockable in-bed trunk, 18-inch alloy wheels, navigation system, rearview camera, hands-free phone capabilities, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, 60/40 split rear seats, moonroof, and a 5,000-lb towing capacity. Safety is comprised of vehicle stability assist, traction control, anti-lock braking, advanced airbags with rollover sensor, and tire pressure monitoring. The Ridgeline is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Honda Ridgeline Truck

The Honda Ridgeline is in a class of its own--it is the only truck in the full-size segment to use a closed-box frame and unit-body construction. It utilizes independent front and rear suspension and features a relatively short bed and a car-like driving experience. The Honda pickup carries a starting price of around $29,000, and offers only one engine option. The Ridgeline excels in 5-passenger comfort and handling that is decidedly better than that of many other trucks.

What's new for 2012?

A Sport trim has been added for 2012. It includes 18-inch black alloy wheels, black-trimmed headlamps, fog lamps, dark-tinted glass, an upgraded stereo, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a choice of white, silver and black exterior paint. The uplevel RTS gets 18-inch wheels as well.

The Ridgeline features a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and a 1,500-pound payload capacity.

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
Basic	36,000	36

Honda Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
Honda Certified Used Car Limited Warranty extends the non-powertrain coverage by 1 year/12,000 miles from the date of purchase or expiration of new car warranty date. In addition, Honda Certified Used Car Limited Warranty extends the powertrain coverage to 7 years/100,000 miles.
