Honda's CR-V has become the top-selling model in the United States. At the same time, the automaker has released a teaser for a new pickup truck that will be built in America.
The Honda CR-V leads all models in U.S. sales.
The teaser points to a next-generation Honda Ridgeline, which according to some reports is officially in development with a tougher look. However, sources disagree on when it will arrive: one report targets 2028, another suggests 2029.
It has been reported that Honda will temporarily stop production of the current Ridgeline. The company has not confirmed this, and the future of the midsize pickup had been uncertain.
According to some reports, the new Ridgeline is meant to compete with models like the Toyota Tacoma. The same sources claim the truck will go on hiatus before the next generation arrives, but official details are limited.
