Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

More than 1,500 associates at #honda Manufacturing of #alabama (HMA) today celebrated the start of mass production of the all-new 2017 #honda #ridgeline #pickup #truck, slated to go on-sale soon at #honda dealerships nationwide. HMA is the exclusive manufacturer of the innovative #ridgeline that is once again challenging conventional thinking in the #pickup #truck market with Honda-exclusive features, design and technology that help #ridgeline set new benchmarks for versatility, capability and comfort in the midsize #pickup segment.

"Today we celebrate the dedication of our #alabama team in bringing a very innovative new #pickup #truck to market," said Jeff Tomko, president of HMA. "I congratulate all of our associates for their commitment to our customers as the #ridgeline returns with new features that will deliver even more of what today's #truck customers want and need."

Designed, developed and manufactured in America, the new #ridgeline will launch with features and capabilities unlike anything else on the market today, including:

  • Superior on-road performance – with the segment's best handling, ride quality, cabin quietness and all-weather traction capabilities – courtesy of its unibody construction, sophisticated chassis, and available i-VTM4™ torque-vectoring AWD system
  • Class-leading space – with the largest and most versatile cabin and the only 4-foot-wide flat bed space in the midsize #pickup segment, along with payload capacity at the top of the midsize #pickup class
  • Innovative and class-exclusive features, including an In-Bed Trunk™, Dual Action tailgate and the industry's first #truck Bed Audio system – making #ridgeline the ultimate tailgating vehicle
  • Leading edge connectivity with 8-inch Display Audio featuring Apple Car Play® and Android Auto™ compatibility

The #ridgeline is produced in the same plant in #alabama alongside other members of Honda’s award-winning light-truck lineup, including the Pilot sport utility vehicle and Odyssey minivan, as well as the Acura MDX luxury #suv.

A first for any #pickup, the new #truck Bed Audio system and available 400-watt power inverter, help make #ridgeline the ultimate tailgating vehicle. The new system utilizes six exciters located inside the bed walls, in place of conventional speakers, pumping out sound from the Ridgeline's audio head unit, with up to 540 watts of power.

In 2016, #honda will continue the fortification of its light-truck family of vehicles with the new #ridgeline and a new, fully redesigned Odyssey minivan. #honda was named the "2016 Best #suv Brand" by U.S. News and World Report, and the Pilot, CR-V, HR-V and Odyssey each has earned a "Best Buy" award from Kelly Blue Book for 2016. The 2016 Pilot and CR-V have received a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for model year 2016, while the 2016 Odyssey minivan has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK rating.
