You work hard and expect your truck to exert the power needed to conquer whatever lies ahead. While both trucks deliver on this demand, one goes above and beyond.
Under the hood of the Ram 1500 lies a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine. You’ll find the capabilities of this configuration are similar to that of the standard 3.5L V6 engine of the Honda Ridgeline; however, this is where the similarities end.
The Ridgeline offers one engine across all trim levels. The Ram 1500, on the other hand, has three additional configurations to help you accomplish your performance goals. Those who want the most powerful engine offered by the Ram 1500 should turn to the optional Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine, which is capable of delivering up to 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque—something you can’t say about the Honda Ridgeline.
Whether you’re heading to a jobsite or your favorite camping spot, the Ram 1500 and the Honda Ridgeline deliver your towing needs. Thanks to the 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity of the Honda Ridgeline, you can easily haul a small fishing boat, a pop-up trailer, and other lighter-weight items.
The Ram 1500 sees the towing capacity of the Ridgeline and more than doubles it, offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped.
This immense step up in towing capacity makes the Ram 1500 all the more exciting for drivers wanting to pull some serious weight.
These trucks are powerful enough to bring along your gear. Let’s now explore how spacious these trucks are and how they offer ample space to bring your friends along for the ride.
Everybody loves options. The Ram 1500 comes in two different cab configurations: Crew Cab and Quad Cab. The configuration chosen determines second-row dimensions as well as the size of the bed. Additionally, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab offers two different truck bed lengths, allowing you to choose a 76-inch or 67-inch bed.
The Honda Ridgeline doesn’t offer any variations from its Crew Cab style. On top of no variety, the bed of the Ridgeline tops off at 64 inches, meaning you won’t have as much space for your items as you get with the Ram 1500.
As expected, the Ram 1500 offers more overall passenger space in terms of dimensions and passenger capacity. This is thanks to the 117 cubic feet of passenger space inside the Ram 1500, compared to the 109.7 cubic feet inside the Ridgeline.

As someone who works hard enough, don’t you think it’s time to let your truck make your everyday travels more convenient? Let’s explore a couple convenience features of the Ram 1500 and the Honda Ridgeline to see which one is better.
The tailgates on both trucks are interesting to compare. The Ram 1500 offers an available multifunction tailgate that sports some innovative features to make things easier. For example, you’ll get 60/40 split swing-away doors that can open from either side. The Ridgeline, on the other hand, has a standard dual-action tailgate that swings open in one direction or opens down.
Also, the Ram 1500's tailgate can support more weight than the Ridgeline’s can. While the Ridgeline’s can hold up to 300 pounds, the Ram 1500 steps it up by holding up to 2,000 pounds. This versatility leads to an overall better experience when loading your truck.
When you need quick access to cargo items, the available RamBox® Cargo Management System answers the call. This versatile feature is the perfect place for tools, equipment, and personal belongings since capabilities of the feature include:
These features make tailgating or off-the-grid camping easy. Unfortunately, no similar feature is offered by the Honda Ridgeline.
With its incredible towing capability, heightened performance, and more space both within the cabin and in the cargo bed, it’s hard to deny the grit of the Ram 1500. You’ll have more room to sit comfortably, more flexibility with the available multifunction tailgate, and more overall power than you do with the Honda Ridgeline.
