The new Ridgeline looks great! I am wondering if you will offer “Honda Sensing” as an option on lower trim models? I noticed you offer it on the Accord, Pilot, Civic, ect… Although I would love to buy a Ridgeline I am disappointed that safety features come at such a high price. (RTL-E : $42,000 + ?!) Thanks!
Hi Jack, thanks for checking out our site. There will not be a specific Honda Sensing package in the Ridgeline like the other models. The sensing package usually consists of Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). As I look over the specs page you would need to stay with the RTL-E or the Black Edition to get all of those features.
