High-performance pickup trucks are obviously becoming a trend. One of the models that will draw the biggest attention is the forthcoming 2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R. Besides sporty appearance, this version will get more standard equipment and premium interior design. Many manufacturers are already offering high-performance variants, and Honda is known for its Type R brand.

Ridgeline seems to be a perfect candidate for this treatment, and it will look astonishing. According to the latest reports, Ridgeline Type R will hit the dealerships in the second half of 2020. Once it arrives, this truck will offer unique suspension, more power, sportiness, and better comfort.

Ridgeline Type R Comes With Impressive Sporty Vibe

In terms of design, the new 2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R will look incredibly sporty and attractive. For a start, new aerodynamics are looking impressive. This mid-size pickup truck will also gain a couple of new exterior features. On the other hand, some existing features are enlarged. That includes larger vents and air intakes. Front fascia hosts a blacked-out grille and more aggressive bumpers.

Similar styling cues can be found on the Civic Type-R model that comes with a bigger scoop and recognizable three-section grille. Ridgeline Type R will also introduce more carbon fiber materials and plenty of red accents. 19-inch wheels are offered as standard, and the customers can even buy optional 20-inch rims. The rear part will sport a two-way tailgate, reshaped taillights, and the in-bed trunk feature.

Upright Interior Design

Inside the cabin, 2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R will look amazing. The mid-size pickup truck will offer a lot of premium details and a lot of space. Unlike the base model, the Type R version looks more upright, and it delivers premium stuff. That includes leather upholstery, sportier steering wheel, a lot of red accents and contrast stitching.

A flat-bottom steering wheel looks unique and very sporty. The new gauge cluster is available, along with the bigger tachometer. Clutch pedal and new gearshift are also available. The layout of buttons and controls is simple, and the interior is driver-oriented. You won’t have to worry about comfort, longer trips, and ride quality.

A type-r interior on Ridgeline? 🤔

Potent V6 Gets a Turbocharger

Of course, when it comes to Type R models, the engine is the main topic. New 2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R will most likely use a 3.5-liter V6, just like the regular model. However, this engine will get further improvements. For a start, Honda will install a turbocharger. Thanks to that, this engine won’t produce 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque.

Instead, Type R will generate around 450 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of twists. Furthermore, the direct-injection fuel system and new VTEC system are also available. Thanks to all updates, Ridgeline Type R is ready to conquer. A standard AWD system will help this high-performance pickup to reach its potential.

2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R Price and Release Date

The brand-new 2021 Honda Ridgeline Type R will start at around $50,000. That is more than the Ridgeline’s range-topping Black Edition trim level. Ridgeline Type R will become Honda’s first high-performance pickup truck ever built. This model will be released in the second half of 2020. Most likely, competitors are Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Ford Ranger Raptor.

This type of vehicle shouts "Mid Life Crisis".

Same as what Richard Hammond is doing with the Ford Ranger Raptor.

 

The Ranger Raptor is for sale in Singapore if you cannot wait. It will set you back around $160K .
