Honda has made over the Pilot to be a sleeker, more equipped people carrier and now it’s R&D team is ready to unveil a new Ridgeline… well, one preview image of the new Ridgeline. While we don’t know much about truck, we do know it’s drastically different from the first-generation model that earned 2006 North American Truck of the Year and Motor Trend Truck of the Year honors after its fall 2005 debut.

“The next generation Ridgeline will build on Honda’s role in creating new value with a new take on advancing form and function in the truck segment,” said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of automobile operations for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in 2013. “With a clear path forward, Ridgeline will play an even more important role in our future product portfolio and strengthen an already class-leading lineup of light trucks.”

Look for the Ridgeline to officially debut in full later this year.
