Honda Ridgeline Truck Bed Features
Dual-Action Tailgate
The tailgate is a timeless feature of a pickup truck, providing access to the cargo area and keeping things stored securely in the bed. Since no two jobs are the same, the engineers at Honda reimagined how this classic feature operates. In addition to opening in a conventional downward fashion, the groundbreaking Dual-Action Tailgate of the Honda Ridgeline can also open to the side for greater accessibility.
In-Bed Trunk®
Making clever use of space typically treated as an afterthought by most midsize truck manufacturers, the Honda Ridgeline features a versatile In-Bed Trunk®. This lockable storage compartment keeps your gear secure and out of sight beneath the floor of the truck bed. In addition to 7.3 cubic feet of extra space, it also features a drain plug for easy clean-up after your next tailgate party.
Lay-Flat Truck Bed
No matter if you use your Honda Ridgeline for work or for recreation, its standard Lay-Flat Truck Bed lets you maximize its versatility. Thanks to its flat load floor, carrying long or wide cargo is effortless. In fact, by maximizing the bed width, the Ridgeline is even able to transport 4×8 sheets of plywood for your next DIY project.
Truck Bed Power Outlet
Even long after the sun sets, you can keep the party going thanks to an available Truck Bed Power Outlet located in the bed of the Honda Ridgeline. This 150-watt/400-watt power outlet provides plenty of electricity for a TV, power tools, auxiliary lighting, and much more thanks to its weatherproof construction.
Lockable / Composite Bed Construction
Specialized composite bed construction provides the Honda Ridgeline with lightweight strength to help you go the extra mile. Its composite construction is UV-stabilized and scratch-resistant for long-lasting durability. A handy tailgate lock feature also ensures that your cargo stays safe and secure at all times, as does the Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Tie-Down Cleats found in the bed. Even in low-light conditions, standard in-bed lighting provides the illumination you need to stay productive.
Bed Extender Accessory
Sometimes the biggest jobs require big solutions. Opt for the available Bed Extender accessory to expand the cargo-carrying capabilities of the Honda Ridgeline. When extended, this clever feature adds an additional 16 inches of length to the bed. Bringing the total to 76 inches of bed length, the Honda Ridgeline is the perfect solution for hauling bulky items.
