Many drivers find it hard to decide when they’re searching for that next great pickup upgrade around Carlsbad. For those with an eye toward engineering prowess, sleek design, and innovative technology, the 2020 RAM 1500 is at the top of the list. Fewer may be familiar with the new Honda Ridgeline, however. Compare the 2020 RAM 1500 vs. 2020 Honda Ridgeline to see which selection has the moxie you expect from your pickup.
It’s no secret that the 2020 RAM 1500 continues a long tradition of superior power and capability. Whether it’s the exceptional standard power of its Pentastar engine or the new RAM 1500 towing capacity, Vista drivers can rely on this pickup for all their work and adventures, 24/7. That being said, we don’t want to ignore the impressive strides Honda Ridgeline has made over the years to become a contender. Take a look at the 2020 RAM 1500 vs. 2020 Honda Ridgeline performance comparison below:

While 2020 RAM outperforms the 2020 Honda Ridgeline at every turn, the match-up is relatively close, apart from a vast divide in towing capacity and horsepower. If you want to tow more than a small trailer or boat, you’ll want the new RAM 1500 on your side. Also available is the 395-hp 5.7L HEMI® V8 with 410 lb-ft of torque for serious power, and the new 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine that combines 480 pound-feet of torque and a towing capacity of 12,560 pounds!
The new RAM 1500 offers an available Uconnect® 12.0 with Navigation that features an advanced, Largest-in-Class 12-inch touchscreen. However, that’s only part of the reason the 2020 RAM 1500 vs. 2020 Honda Ridgeline comparison doesn’t stack up to be a real competition. The 40/20/40 bench split allows for more efficient use of space in the RAM 1500 as opposed to the 60/40 split the Honda Ridgeline offers, and the standard Power-Heated Mirrors with Manual Fold-Away is only available as an upgrade on the Ridgeline. Both models do offer the following benefits as standard:

Despite the many categories in which the RAM 1500 proves it is the better choice, RAM somehow offers this pickup at a lower MSRP than the 2020 Honda Ridgeline. See below for the base trim MSRP in the 2020 RAM 1500 vs. 2020 Honda Ridgeline comparison:
