ACE™ BODY STRUCTURE
You have a lot of reasons for buying your next truck. The one you choose needs to keep up with your exciting life. It needs to be able to handle the jobsite, the campsite, and everything else you set your sights on. Let’s see how the Honda Ridgeline and the Nissan Frontier can do exactly that.
In this competition, the Ridgeline has a distinct edge in the cargo department. This comes down to a handy standard feature called the dual-action tailgate . It opens down like a traditional tailgate and swings out to the side like a door. The Frontier only features a traditional tailgate.
The standard 7.3-cubic-foot In-Bed Trunk® is exclusive to the Honda Ridgeline. It’s great for packing up your smaller items like hiking gear or a toolbox. It can even double as a cooler for those long days tailgating at the stadium. Just fill it up with ice and your favorite drinks.
The Nissan Frontier is available with a spray-in bedliner to help protect it from scratches and dings. The composite truck bed of the Honda Ridgeline, however, goes a few steps further. It’s scratch-resistant and UV stabilized , so it can take a beating from both the sun and your cargo and keep working hard.
Now that your outdoor toys are packed up neatly in the bed, it’s time to get inside and start your next adventure. The Ridgeline and the Frontier are designed with interiors that will be your home base regardless of how far your journey takes you.
As you settle into the Nissan Frontier, you’ll be able to get comfortable in the available 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. The 2023 Ridgeline, however, will let you find the ideal level of support with its optional 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat .
You spend a lot of time outside on the worksite. Whether it’s hot or cold outside, these trucks can be your sanctuary. The Honda Ridgeline will let everyone set their ideal temperatures with its available tri-zone automatic climate control system , while the Nissan Frontier is only available with dual-zone automatic temperature control.
Whether you’re keeping up with the crew at work or home, these trucks come with a bevy of technology features to keep you connected. They both bring features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and put it all on a standard 8-inch touchscreen .

The most important features are the ones that help keep you and your crew safe. Both the Honda Ridgeline and the Nissan Frontier offer safety suites that feature a bevy of smart driver-assistance features to help you cruise with confidence on every trail.
Honda Sensing® and Nissan Safety Shield® 360 are both packed with smart safety features. They offer several brand-specific versions of technologies like:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Forward Collision Warning
- Lane Departure Warning
What’s the difference? The Ridgeline comes standard with all the Honda Sensing® Technologies , while you’ll have to upgrade to a higher trim for the full suite of Safety Shield® 360 features.
The 2023 Honda Ridgeline is ready to protect you all the way to its core. It’s built with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure , which is designed with specially engineered front crumple zones that absorb and deflect collision force away from the passenger cabin to better defend you in the event of an impact.
