- 2026 Honda Ridgeline Sport now starts at $40,595, a $445 increase over 2025.
- TrailSport trim gains optional Ash Green Metallic paint, first seen in the Passport.
- Black Edition can now be optioned with a contrasting black roof or body-colored roof.
Rising prices are nothing new in the auto world, but Honda has quietly nudged the cost of owning its mid-size pickup even higher. For 2026, every Ridgeline trim carries a slightly steeper MSRP, along with an uptick in destination charges, despite no meaningful updates to the truck itself. For anyone hunting for value, it may be worth scanning dealer lots for leftover 2025 models before they vanish.

The base Ridgeline Sport now starts at $40,595, which is $445 more than last year’s $40,150. The mid-range RTL climbs by $415, moving from $42,980 to $43,395. The TrailSport sees one of the bigger jumps, rising by $1,415 from $44,380 to $45,795.
A New Splash of Color and Nothing Else
Changes to the TrailSport are limited to aesthetics, with the introduction of an Ash Green Metallic paint option. This shade made its first appearance on the 2026 Passport TrailSportand has since joined the palette for the CR-V TrailSport Hybrid as well.
Continuing to top out the pickup family is the Ridgeline Black Edition. Its MSRP now sits at $47,195, up from $46,750 last year. New to the Black Edition for 2026 is the availability of a contrasting black roof. Alternatively, the roof can be painted Sonic Gray Pearl or Platinum White Pearl to match the available exterior body colors.

SWIPE
All of these prices exclude a $1,495 destination charge, which is $45 more expensive than last year.
Sales of the Ridgeline dipped 9.4 percent in August compared to the same month in 2024, yet overall momentum remains strong. Through the first eight months of 2025, Honda delivered 33,835 units, a 17.4 percent jump from 29,100 over the same period last year.
Honda has been producing the second-generation Ridgeline since 2017, making it one of the older midsize pickups still on sale. Rivals like the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, and even smaller players such as the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick now have fresher designs. While Honda hasn’t confirmed a third-generation model, a future Ridgeline would benefit from adopting the more squared-off and assertive styling seen on the latest Passport.
