Since its fanfare-filled release last summer, the all-new 2017 Honda Ridgeline has enjoyed plenty of praise from customers and critics alike. Yesterday, during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Ridgeline validated all the hype by winning the title of 2017 North American Truck of the Year. The award marks the second consecutive North American "of the Year" award, with the Honda Civic earning North American Car of the Year Honors in 2016.

Completely redesigned and reengineered for the 2017 model year, the all-new Ridgeline offers a number of standard and available features that set it apart from the competitors in its segment. These features include a unibody construction, a Dual Action Tailgate, In-Bed Trunk®, a scratch- and dent-resistant composite truck bed and the world's first Truck Bed Audio System. The 2017 Ridgeline also actively works to keep you safe with the Honda Sensing safety suite.

"This award is a prized validation of the innovations and advantages the Ridgeline offers midsize pickup truck customers and a great recognition of the American development team's work," said John Mendel, Executive Vice President of American Honda Motor Co., Incorporated. "This is a terrific way to kick off 2017, and we're looking forward to sharing more innovative Honda products in the year ahead."
