Sep 19, 2005 — Introduced as a 2006 model in March 2005, the mid-size Ridgeline introduces a number of innovative and exclusive new features to the half - ton truck segment including a secure, lockable In - Bed Trunk ™ with room enough to store a 72 - quart cooler, three sets of golf bags or other
bulky items under the pickup bed; a dual action tailgate that allows for easy loading and
unloading of the In - Bed Trunk and truck bed; and the segment's first fully independent four - wheel suspension.
The front - hinged rear doors swing out nearly perpendicular (85 degrees) to the body, opening a cavernous 34.5 by 35.5 - inch portal to the rear compartment for easy entry and exit, and for loading and
unloading large,
bulky items.
