When it comes to pickups, ‘small’ is a relative term. Generally speaking, any pickup truck that falls under the mid-size class can be considered small.
That being said, the shortest pickup truck on the market today is the Honda Ridgeline, coming in at just 210.0 inches long. The Ridgeline has been a popular choice for drivers who want all the utility of a full-size pickup, but with a smaller and more maneuverable frame.
The Honda Ridgeline was first launched in 2006 as an alternative to traditional body-on-frame pickups. It was designed to combine the best of both worlds: carlike performance and handling with cargo and towing capacity rivaling that of conventional pickups. The Ridgeline is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed automatic or 9-speed automatic transmission.
The interior of the Ridgeline is designed for comfort and convenience with available features such as heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, an eight-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, and more. Safety features include forward collision warning with emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert.
The Honda Ridgeline isn’t just one of the shortest small pickup trucks – it’s also one of the most versatile. It features an exclusive InBed Trunk® storage system that provides up to 7.3 cubic feet of secure storage space behind the rear seatback – perfect for storing tools or other gear you need to take on your next adventure.
Conclusion:
When it comes to small pickup trucks, none are shorter than the Honda Ridgeline. This mid-size truck offers plenty of utility along with carlike performance and handling for maximum maneuverability in tight spaces. It even has an exclusive InBed Trunk® storage system that makes it even more versatile than other small pickups on the market today.
