Honda celebrates National Dog Week with new video of some furry friends helping to showcase pet-friendly features in Honda’s award-winning light-truck lineup.

Honda's dog-loving light-truck lineup has booked nine years of continuous growth, spurred on by recent refreshes of the 2019 Pilot and HR-V, and the all-new 2019 Honda Passport 5-passenger sport-ute. All Honda light trucks are available with the Honda Sensing^® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, along with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™ integration, available all-wheel drive (except Odyssey), and a host of innovative family- and pet-friendly features.

CR-V: Named SUV of the Year by Motor Trend when the 5th-generation model debuted in 2017, the CR-V is America's most popular crossover vehicle over the past 22 years¹, with U.S. sales approaching 5 million vehicles, thanks to a winning combination of style, functionality, and refinement.
Passport: The new Passport 2-row midsize SUV offers both off-road capability and excellent on-road refinement, giving shoppers in the class an unmistakably Honda choice.
Pilot: Family friendly, with available all-wheel drive and room for eight, the 3-row Honda Pilot received a substantial refresh last year and is the #2 retail best-selling vehicle in its class². New for the 2020 model year is a range-topping Black Edition, which includes exclusive perforated leather seats, special badging and exterior trim, and black-treatment 20-inch wheels.
Ridgeline: The innovative Honda Ridgeline takes midsize truck utility to the next level with unique features such as the In-Bed Trunk^® and Dual-Action Tailgate while offering up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity and on-road refinement second to none in the midsize pickup class, a combination that won it top honors in the Cars.com Mid-Size Pickup Truck Challenge.
Odyssey: The retail best-selling minivan in America since 2010³, the 2020 Honda Odyssey celebrates its 25^th anniversary with a special anniversary edition accessory package, available on all trims.
