If you are looking for a preowned truck with sturdy performance and great maneuverability, consider this 2008 Honda Ridgeline for only $11,771. According to Edmunds, the Ridgeline is a happy solution for drivers seeking a vehicle that melds utility with easy handling.
Â
Under the hood, this Honda is equipped with a 3.5-liter single-overhead-cam V6 engine, which boasts 247 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque. It is paired to a five-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system, which allows the Ridgeline to pull up to 5,000 lbs while carrying a payload of 1,550 lbs.
Â
With a platform similar to the Honda Pilot, the Ridgeline bucks the traditional three-box truck layout by engineering the bed into the cab. Surprisingly, this gives the vehicle a unique stiffness, which helps it ride more car-like on Seattle’s roads. The platform’s four-wheel independent suspension also endows a distinctive smoothness, making it a natural fit for urban environments. But, despite its pleasant on-road dynamics, the Ridgeline is no stranger to hard work. The five-foot-long bed is great for hauling materials and tools to the jobsite or around home, and the tailgate swings outward from the side or downward for added versatility.
