How we made this guide: picks and specs come from our catalog and fitment data, owner quotes come from verified reviews and the guide was drafted with AI help, then checked and edited by Trevor Hall.
The 2017 to 2026 Honda Ridgeline comes with one bed: 64.0 inches long and 50.0 inches wide between the wheel wells, on a crew cab only. Covers list that bed as 5'4", and the least expensive cover we carry for it is the Extang Trifecta e-Series soft folding cover, from $369.99.
That same bed holds Honda's in-bed trunk, which rates 7.3 cubic feet and is the part that makes the Ridgeline different when you shop for a cover. For a cover that keeps it usable, start with the Extang Trifecta 2.0, from $519.99, which a Ridgeline owner says lets the trunk lid open fully.
Quick answer
Honda lists the 2017 to 2026 Ridgeline bed at 64.0 in long with the tailgate up (83.0 in with it down) and 50.0 in wide between the wheel wells, with 33.9 cu ft of bed volume and a 7.3 cu ft In-Bed Trunk. Cover makers label it 5'4". Honda publishes no bed depth.
Ridgeline bed dimensions by generation
| Years | Cab | Honda bed spec | Length (tailgate up / down) | Width (wheel wells / D-pillar / bed walls) | Depth | Bed volume | In-Bed Trunk | Cover label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 to 2026 (second generation) | Crew cab | Bed 64.0 in x 50.0 in | 64.0 in / 83.0 in | 50.0 in / 51.0 in / 60.0 in | Not published | 33.9 cu ft | 7.3 cu ft | 5'4" |
Honda gives the bed length with the tailgate up and down, and the width at three points: 50.0 inches between the wheel wells, 51.0 inches at the D-pillar and 60.0 inches between the bed walls. It does not say whether the length is taken at the floor or the rail, and it publishes no bed depth.
2017 to 2026 Ridgeline: one bed, one trunk
Honda sells the second-generation truck only as a crew cab, so there is no short or long choice to make. Honda lists the dual-action tailgate and the in-bed trunk as standard on all trims.
The trunk sits under the bed floor and its lid opens upward. Honda rates the In-Bed Trunk at 7.3 cubic feet. It publishes no interior length, width or depth, so measure the trunk before you plan a cooler or a toolbox around it.
2006 to 2014 Ridgeline: the 5 ft bed
The first-generation truck is also a crew cab with a single bed. Four series we carry fit it. The Extang Trifecta 2.0, Access Original and TruXedo Lo Pro list a 5' bed for 2006 to 2014 trucks, and the BAKFlip G2 has a 2006 to 2014 part plus a 5' part for 2010 to 2014. The fitment note on the Access Original says the trunk lid cannot open fully with it fitted.
Pick a first-generation cover by model year, because the 5'4" parts that begin in 2017 will not match that body.
Do cover sizes match Honda's numbers?
Honda's 64.0 inches is exactly 5 feet 4 inches, so on this truck the label and the maker's figure agree. The label can still mislead you in two ways. It does not tell you the generation, so a 5' label and a 5'4" label do not mean a shorter and a longer bed on one truck. They sit on different bodies, 2006 to 2014 and 2017 to 2026.
Within our catalog the 5'4" label covers 32 listings, 28 of them for 2017 to 2026, three for 2017 to 2027 and one for 2017 to 2025. The 5' label covers four listings, three for 2006 to 2014 and one for 2010 to 2014.
How to check your bed
- Close the tailgate and note your model year, which decides the generation.
- Lay a tape on the side rail and read the distance from the bed's front wall to the shut tailgate.
- A reading near 64 inches matches Honda's 2017 to 2026 bed. Then choose the cover listed for your year.

Which covers fit the Ridgeline bed
Every cover below is sold for the 2017 to 2026 bed unless noted, and the price shown on each card is the From price for that truck, bed and year range.
Length is easy on this truck. The trunk is the harder question, because some covers stop its lid from rising fully. The fitment notes on three soft roll-up covers, the Access Original (on both generations), the Access LiteRider and the Access Lorado, say the trunk lid cannot open fully with the cover on. The note on the Roll-N-Lock M-Series says it cuts the trunk opening to 20 inches. Our ranked list of Ridgeline covers that keep the trunk usable goes pick by pick.
Soft folding, trunk friendly
Extang Trifecta 2.0 Soft Folding Tonneau Cover
From $519.99 · An owner of this truck says the trunk lid rises all the way with this cover; it also fits the 2006 to 2014 5' bed.
“The Extang Trifecta 2. 0 soft cover does the job, it isn’t perfect but it works. I would’ve prefer a sliding hard top cover but none of those would allow the trunk to open fully.”
Extang Trifecta 2.0 owner · 5 out of 5 stars
Hard folding
BAKFlip MX4 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
From $1,249.99 · Folds flush to the cab for the full bed, with a 400 lb rating and a five-year warranty.
A 2019 Ridgeline owner needed extra rails:
“The installation process on this particular truck involved adding an extra set of rails due to the fact the truck has an in bed liner from factory.”
BAKFlip MX4 owner · 5 out of 5 stars
The same owner found small amounts of water in the bed after light rain.
Hard folding for both generations
BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
From $1,149.99 · Has parts for 2006 to 2014 trucks and the 5'4" bed on 2017 to 2026 trucks; rated 300 lb with a three-year warranty.
Hard roll-up
BAK Revolver X4s Hard Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
From $1,479.99 · Rolls onto a spool at the bulkhead and leaves the whole bed open.
“2021 Ridgeline Revolver X4s cover is quite easy to install and protects the bed very well.”
BAK Revolver X4s owner · 5 out of 5 stars
The same owner says the locking mechanism rubs in the corners because of the way the Ridgeline's tailgate opening is shaped, and calls it no deal breaker.
Prices differ a lot by type. In our range a soft folding or roll-up cover for this bed runs under $500 at the low end, hard folding covers start at $1,149.99 and a retractable such as the RetraxONE MX starts at $1,549.99, though one Ridgeline owner found that no sliding hard cover let the trunk open fully.

Folding and roll-up covers are only as secure as a locked tailgate. Ridgeline tailgates on 2006 to 2014 and 2017 to 2019 trucks have no lock, so on those years a folding or roll-up cover hides cargo rather than protecting it. The UnderCover SE one-piece lid holds the tailgate shut, and on most parts the Roll-N-Lock M-Series locks it through a built-in extrusion. Check the install sheet, and lock the tailgate where your truck allows it. To compare the whole market first, open our top picks across every type or browse all tonneau covers.
What fits in the Ridgeline bed
| Load | Honda figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Width between the wheel wells | 50.0 in | A 48 in wide sheet of plywood clears the wells, with 2 inches to spare |
| Bed length, tailgate up / down | 64.0 in / 83.0 in | A 96 in sheet lies flat between the wheel wells with the tailgate down and sticks out about 13 inches past it, so tie it down and flag the end |
| Bed depth | Not published | No stack height to quote |
| Bed volume | 33.9 cu ft | Honda's figure for the bed |
| In-Bed Trunk | 7.3 cu ft | Lockable space under the bed floor |
| Tie-down cleats | 8, rated 350 lb each | Anchor points for the overhanging sheet or a dirt bike |
These rows use Honda's published figures and plain arithmetic. A sheet laid flat on the floor also covers the trunk lid, so load the trunk first.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the Honda Ridgeline bed?
Honda lists the 2017 to 2026 bed at 64.0 inches long with the tailgate up and 83.0 inches with it down. Covers label it 5'4". The 2006 to 2014 truck is listed by cover makers at 5', and we have no sourced length from Honda for it.
What are the bed dimensions of the 2019 Ridgeline?
The 2019 is a second-generation truck, so Honda's 2017 to 2026 figures apply: 64.0 inches long with the tailgate up and 83.0 inches with it down, 50.0 inches between the wheel wells and 60.0 inches between the bed walls. Bed volume is 33.9 cubic feet, plus a 7.3 cubic foot In-Bed Trunk. Covers list the bed as 5'4".
Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a Ridgeline?
Yes, flat on the floor with the tailgate down. The 48 inch width clears the 50.0 inch gap between the wheel wells, and Honda lists 83.0 inches of length with the tailgate down, so about 13 inches of a 96 inch sheet sticks out past the lowered gate. Tie it down and flag the overhang.
How big is the Ridgeline in-bed trunk?
Honda rates the 2017 to 2026 In-Bed Trunk at 7.3 cubic feet and fits it on every trim. Honda gives no interior length, width or depth, so measure it before you buy a cooler or organizer for it.
Does a tonneau cover block the in-bed trunk?
Some do. The fitment notes for the Access Original, LiteRider and Lorado say the trunk lid cannot open fully with them fitted, and the Roll-N-Lock M-Series note says it cuts the opening to 20 inches. A Ridgeline owner says the Extang Trifecta 2.0 lets the lid open fully, though that is one owner's account.
Is the 2006 to 2014 bed the same as the 2017 to 2026 bed?
No. Covers list the older truck at 5' and the newer one at 5'4", and they are made for different years. A few series list both, but each has its own part for each generation.
