Typically when picking out a recovery winch like you are looking for your 2006 Honda Ridgeline you want the capacity of the winch to be at least 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle. Your vehicle weighs right at 4,500 lbs so that would mean you'd want a capacity of at least 6,800 lbs. So for that the Bulldog Winch part # BDW10041 would be a really great option as it is an off-road recovery winch rated for up to 8,000 lbs.
