Honda Ridgeline Bed Size & Cargo-Fit Guide

How To Make the Most of the Honda Ridgeline Bed Dimensions

The Honda Ridgeline bed size is just one of many impressive features of this midsize truck. It offers practical space and versatility for flat-floor hauling and lockable In-Bed Trunk storage for items you want stowed away; however, these amenities only scratch the surface of what the bed provides. If you’ve just upgraded to this pickup and want to learn how you can best maximize the bed’s utility, SONS Honda is here to help! Scroll down to learn more about the bed’s dimensions, including length and width, and any available accessories that make carrying cargo or tailgating easier.

Honda Ridgeline Bed Width, Length & Cargo Capacity, Explored

When you shop new Honda Ridgeline trucks, you’ll notice they all share the same bed dimensions, including length, width, and cargo capacity.

When packing equipment in the back of your Honda Ridgeline, it’s important to consider the varying width measurements to ensure that your items are stored properly and safely. For instance, if you want your item to rest entirely flat on the floor, it must be less than 50 inches wide because of the wheel wells. Bulkier objects wider than 50 inches can be stored in the bed, but keep in mind they won’t lie flat.

Payload capacity is also an important factor when determining what you can load in the back and ensuring the weight is safe. For reference, the minimum payload capacity is 1,509 pounds with the Black Edition,¹ while the maximum is 1,583 pounds on the Sport.¹ Check your owner’s manual before storing heavy machinery in your bed, as going over the recommended payload rating can cause severe mechanical strain or sluggish performance.

Honda Ridgeline Bed Size by Year

The Honda Ridgeline has always been nimble and fuel-efficient. However, the bed on the 2026 model is slightly larger than the one on older iterations, such as the 2013 and 2014 models. See the chart below for the main differences.

Honda Ridgeline Bed Features & Accessories

Standard features of the Honda Ridgeline truck bed include:

• Heavy-Duty Cargo Tie-Downs: These pieces of equipment have a 350-pound load capacity each, keeping your haul secure.
• Dual-Action Tailgate: Fold the tailgate straight down for more bed space or swing it to the side for more direct access to your items.
• Truck-Bed Lights: Bed lights allow for more visibility at night or in darker weather conditions.
• In-Bed Trunk: The legendary In-Bed Trunk is a lockable storage compartment that holds 7.3 cubic feet of cargo safely and away from the elements.

Honda bed accessories are among the best in the business, prioritizing your quality of life based on what you use your Ridgeline for. Popular options include:

• Bed Extender: Maximize your cargo capacity and stabilize longer items by adding a bed extender to the back that adds an extra 16 inches with the tailgate down.
• Cargo Area Cover: If you want a functional and stylish look for the back of your pickup, consider a cargo cover to protect your equipment.
• Bed Tent: A little shelter on the road, this tent can be built directly into your truck and give you some cover at tailgate parties or campsites.
• Truck-Bed Cargo Net: This sturdy nylon net ties right into the cleats and provides an easy-to-use and flexible cargo aid by covering larger items and holding them in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ridgeline bed size vary by trim?

No, all trims of the 2026 Honda Ridgeline have the same size bed. Whether you choose the standard Sport or the luxurious Black Edition, every bed measures 64 inches long and 60 inches wide and offers 33.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

Does an accessory bed cover affect usable cargo space?

An accessory bed cover does not necessarily affect cargo space, but it does limit vertical clearance and how wide you can open the In-Bed Trunk lid. For example, a hard bed cover won’t allow you to store items taller than the bed rails, such as large appliances or furniture. The In-Bed Trunk lid can still open with a cover closed or partially folded, but not fully 100%.

What should I measure before loading a large item?

• Width and Height: Ensure the dimensions can fit within the maximum 83-inch length and 50- to 60-inch width of the bed, depending on whether you want the object to lie flat.
• Weight: Check that the items strapped down with the tie-down cleats are rated to fit within the load capacity and that the weight of the overall cargo, passengers, and installed accessories remains under the payload capacity.

¹Max payload varies based on accessories and vehicle configuration.
