2026 Honda Ridgeline Truck Bed Features & Storage Innovations
Honda Ridgeline Truck Bed Features
Dual-Action Tailgate
When you think trucks, one of the most quintessential features of this particular type of vehicle is the tailgate. While it’s tasked with keeping your gear and equipment secured inside the bed of the truck, Honda engineers believed that this component was capable of doing much more. The innovative Dual-Action Tailgate of the Ridgeline has the ability to open to the side for greater accessibility in addition to the traditional downward opening motion you’re used to.
In-Bed Trunk®
Taking advantage of normally unused space, the groundbreaking In-Bed Trunk® of the Honda Ridgeline builds on its already exceptional versatility. Boasting an extra 7.3 cubic feet of storage space, this feature is both lockable and tucked neatly out of sight for added security. Best of all? It includes a handy drain plug that makes clean-up a breeze after a long day at the job site or following a long tailgate party.
Lay-Flat Truck Bed
From work to play, there’s no challenge too big for the versatile Honda Ridgeline. The clever Lay-Flat Truck Bed of the Ridgeline allows you to create a flat load floor to transport long or wide cargo with ease. As a matter of fact, the Ridgeline can even haul 4×8 sheets of plywood for your next home improvement project!
Truck Bed Power Outlet
Having access to power for your electronic devices can help you keep the party going long after dark. Inside the bed of the Ridgeline is where you’ll find a dedicated 150-watt/400-watt power outlet. This especially useful feature supplies electricity for auxiliary lighting, power tools, speakers, TVs, and much more. It features all-weather construction for superior durability.
Lockable / Composite Bed Construction
Helping to reduce weight without compromising on strength, the bed of the Honda Ridgeline is engineered with specialized composite materials that offer UV protection and scratch resistance for long-lasting durability. Additional features include a useful tailgate lock and Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Tie-Down Cleats found in the bed. There’s even integrated bed lighting to help you access your cargo even in low-light conditions.
Bed Extender Accessory
