Honda makes 2018 Ridgeline next truck to get Apple's CarPlay

Honda has added another pickup truck — the 2018 Ridgeline — to its stable of vehicles compatible with Apple's CarPlay, which bridges Siri and iPhone apps with with dash interfaces.

To get CarPlay, Ridgeline buyers must pay extra for an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen, which also supports Android Auto. The base model of the truck starts at $29,360, but trims can range up to $43,120.

Far fewer trucks support CarPlay compared with compacts, sedans, and SUVs. Some notable exceptions include the likes of Ford's F-150, the GMC Sierra, and Honda's 2017 Ridgeline.

Honda has announced a slate of CarPlay-compatible vehicles in the past few months. The most notable addition may be the 2018 Fit — previously, CarPlay was completely absent from the Fit line, despite the presence of the platform on other popular Honda cars like the Civic and the Accord.

Two automakers, Volvo and Scania, have added CarPlay to semi trucks used by professional drivers.
