Bob Boyte Honda Moss Point – Trail-Ready Confidence around Biloxi, MS — 2026 Ridgeline TrailSport Buyer’s Guide
If your weekends flip between muddy trailheads and coastal coffee runs, the 2026 Ridgeline TrailSport feels like it was designed with your life in mind. It retains the Ridgeline’s smooth, quiet road manners while adding hardware that matters where pavement ends. An off-road tuned suspension with retuned springs, dampers, and stabilizer bars works in concert with all-terrain tires to keep you composed on rocky climbs and washboard access roads. i-VTM4® AWD actively shuffles torque side to side across the rear axle, helping you maintain traction when one wheel loses grip. That confident capability meets true truck utility with a Dual-Action Tailgate and a lockable In-Bed Trunk® that lets you stash recovery gear, ropes, or wet boots out of sight and out of the cab. It is smart, sturdy, and as easy to live with on Monday as it is fun on Saturday.
Inside the TrailSport, the mood is purposeful. Orange stitching and lighting set a distinctive tone, while supportive front seats and a thoughtfully laid out dash make every trip feel effortless. The 9-inch Display Audio touch-screen places your maps and media front and center, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keeping cords out of your way. The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ gives you clear, lane-level guidance when your phone signal fades on back roads. And when you are loading up bikes or bulky totes, the 60/40 split lift-up rear seats unlock a tall-storage configuration you will appreciate after your first ride.
- Suspension tuning: Off-road tuned springs, dampers, and stabilizer bars help absorb ruts without beating you up.
- AWD intelligence: i-VTM4® AWD distributes torque side to side, especially helpful on uneven, slippery surfaces.
- Traction modes: Intelligent Traction Management offers Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud to match your terrain.
- Trail protection: A standard oil pan guard helps protect vital components when you crest a rock or log.
- Cargo flexibility: Dual-Action Tailgate and lockable In-Bed Trunk® make hauling and stowing gear simple.
- Everyday comfort: Tri-zone automatic climate control and available heated seats make year-round commuting easy.
- Driver confidence: The available Blind Spot Information System with cross traffic monitor supports lane changes and backing.
For many shoppers, the big question is how the TrailSport balances trail strength with everyday refinement. The answer shows up in small ways, from the quiet cabin at highway speeds to the unibody construction that resists shudder on broken pavement. It still tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and the UV-stabilized composite bed handles scrapes and scuffs from tools or bikes. With accessories like roof rails and crossbars, a bed extender, and in-bed cargo dividers, it adapts to your gear as quickly as your plans change. That means fewer compromises and more weekends you actually look forward to.
