Concurrent with the 2P H2 launch, Kawasaki refined its ultimate utility platform as the Ridge gets a Platinum package and “Lifted Edition” — complete with arched A-Arms for greater ground clearance and 30-inch ITP mud tire mounted on 14-inch aluminum wheels. The end goal is to bridge the gap between a premium pick-up truck/SUV and a full cab HVAC UTV experience.
The automotive-inspired focus on comfort and refinement is clear: spacious cabins, ergonomic seating, long-travel suspension and up to 1,000 lb. of cargo capacity and 2,500 lb. of towing capacity. “Available in a variety of configurations—including full-cab HVAC models that provide true all-season comfort—the RIDGE Series combines premium ride quality, work-ready durability, and everyday versatility,” claims Kawasaki. Assembled in the USA with foreign and domestic parts, every new Ridge is backed by a full 3-Year Limited Warranty.
