The 2017 Honda Ridgeline is a popular truck at this year’s SEMA show. Fox Marketing, MAD Industries, and even Honda all brought customized Ridgelines to the show. Yet another marketing brand has done the same, TJIN Edition. It’s called the Pennzoil Honda Ridgeline and it features a slew of upgraded parts and accessories made to showcase different brands under the TJIN Edition umbrella.

The upgrades range from mild to wild, including such stuff as new suspension system, new wheels and tires, an LED light bar, and a customized interior with new upholstery and stereo system. Even the paint is unique to this show truck. The Ridgeline also includes a matching Honda TRX250X ATV in the bed and a mountain bike mounted on a rack.

There is plenty to see, so keep reading for the full run-down.

Exterior

The truck is coated in a custom Axalta paint job and features 20-inch, three-piece Rotiform wheels. The wheels are accented in a matt gold finish that’s seen elsewhere on the truck, including the rear bumper trim and on the Honda ATV’s wheels. All-terrain Falken tires gives the truck a better grip, while a custom Traxda suspension improves the ride height for better off-road ground clearance.

Up front, a push bumper helps protect the Ridgeline’s chin and a LED light bar hides behind the lower grille. Another LED light bar is mounted above the windshield and combines with the lower LED bar to completely illuminate a dark road.

The Rideline’s bed is long enough to accommodate the ATV, although the tailgate has to remain down. The trailer hitch receiver-mounted bike rack has spots for two full-sized bikes.

Interior

The Ridgeline’s interior is upgraded with a full set of Katzkin leather seats with red, blue, and black colorings. An upgraded sound system from Scosche gives the truck more appeal to audiophiles. Beyond those changes, the Ridgeline’s interior remains stock. That’s not a bad thing though, as it offers seating for five and a foldable rear bench seat that transforms the rear cab into a large cargo area. When folded down, there is still enough space under the seats for a full golf bad.

Drivetrain

Not too much has changed with the engine and transmission, though there are some updates to talk about. First, a MagnaFlow exhaust system helps the 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 breath a bit easier. A set of Baer big brakes, complete with new rotors and calipers, help scrub speed. Everything else remains factory.

Note: Standard Honda Ridgeline drivetrain shown here.

Nevertheless, the 3.5-liter V-6 provides plenty of power for hauling the ATV and five passengers to the trail. It makes 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque thanks to the VTEC system, which modulates valve timing, lift profile, and duration of the intake valves.

The engine is built to take a beating, too. It features forged steel connecting rods that are “crack separated,” meaning that when joined and bolted back together onto the crankshaft, the rods have an extra strong grip. The engine has four-bold main caps that hold the high-strength steel crankshaft inside the aluminum block. Aluminum cylinder head work in conjunction with the aluminum block to keep weight down.

The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and Honda’s AWD system. In standard form, the AWD Ridgeline is EPA-estimated to get 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.

Honda TRX250X

Tjin Edition didn’t let the ATV attend SEMA without modifications. It features the same Axalta paint job, a revised suspension with Fox shocks, powder coated wheels from Rotiform that match the Ridgeline’s, a custom CT seat, Scosche “boom bottles” for sound, and a MagnaFlow exhaust. Of course, the ATV is running Pennzoil lubricants and is covered in logos by Daley Visual.
