The 2026 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition AWD is the most luxurious and visually striking version of Hondas midsize pickup. It combines the refined, car-like ride of a unibody SUV with the utility of a truck, all wrapped in a "murdered-out" aesthetic. For 2026, it remains the flagship trim, offering every premium feature available in the Ridgeline lineup as standard equipment.
