• Honda confirmed development of third-generation Honda Ridgeline, the next version of the company’s award-winning midsize pickup
• Production of current 2026 Honda Ridgeline will pause later this year as Honda prepares for the new model

 Honda today confirmed development of the third-generation Honda Ridgeline, the next version of its midsize pickup, set to come to market within two years. Designed at the company’s styling studio in Southern California, and engineered in Ohio, the new Honda Ridgeline will feature an even more rugged design. In preparation for the new model, production of the current 2026 Honda Ridgeline will pause later this year.

“The third chapter of the Honda Ridgeline will continue its remarkable story with even more rugged styling and capability,” said Emile Korkor, Assistant Vice President of Honda Sales and Marketing, Honda Canada Inc. “I’m especially proud that Honda’s Alliston manufacturing facility helped launch the Ridgeline more than 20 years ago as the industry’s first modern unibody midsize pickup. Since then, Ridgeline has distinguished itself with a unique blend of capability, handling, and innovation that continues to resonate with customers.”

The third-generation Honda Ridgeline will continue to be built exclusively at the Honda Alabama Auto Plant, which currently manufactures the second-generation Honda Ridgeline, Honda Passport, Honda Pilot and Honda Odyssey, using domestic and globally-made parts.
