SEMA is all about showing off what accessories are available in the parts catalogue. So Honda rummaged around its box-o-fun and came up with the Ridgeline Powersports Concept . It’s not so much enhancing the Ridgeline, but what you can do with a Ridgeline . Honda picked a product from their other line of vehicles (a CRF 450R motorcycle) and showed how it can be strapped into the back of Honda ’s truck. The small back of the Ridgeline also then gets to show off the use of the bed extender. Other features include a new grille and black finish 18" wheels, which Honda is testing the market’s reaction before making available. © Source: topspeed We need your comments below >>

Giant robots piloting huge fire-breathing truck-planes? If this truly is a "Passport to the Future" as Honda claims, you can sign us up...

The five-passenger crew cab Ridgeline comes with four doors and a five-foot cargo bed. It features a split-fold-and-tumble rear seat with hidden under-seat storage, a two-way tailgate that can open either from the top or the right side, and a unique lockable and weather-protected 8.5 cubic foot trunk that's integrated into the cargo bed. The standard engine is a 247-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine teamed up with a five-speed automatic transmission. The standard Variable Torque Management system routes engine power to the wheels with the most traction, as conditions demand. Stability control, side and curtain airbags, and anti-lock brakes are standard. The Ridgeline is offered...
