How wide is the bed of a Ridgeline?
The Ridgeline bed is about 5 feet long (roughly 60 inches) and about 50 inches wide between the side walls. This article explains those dimensions across generations and what they mean for loading common cargo.
Bed dimensions by generation
Below are the key bed width dimensions for the Honda Ridgeline, broken down by generation. Note that measurements can vary slightly by model year, trim, and any bed accessories, but the basic footprint remains similar.
- First generation (2006–2014): Bed length around 60 inches (5 feet); width between the inner side walls about 50 inches; wheel-well intrusion reduces usable width to roughly 50 inches. An in-bed trunk is located under the floor for extra storage.
- Second generation (2017–present): Bed length around 60 inches (5 feet); width between the inner side walls about 50 inches; cargo area remains similar in footprint, with the in-bed trunk continuing to provide additional storage under the floor.
These figures indicate a consistent bed footprint across generations, with the notable exception of features like the in-bed trunk that change storage organization but not the nominal width of the bed opening.
Loading considerations
While the nominal bed width is about 50 inches between the side walls, the actual usable width can be influenced by wheel-well intrusion and how cargo is arranged. For example, a standard 4x8 sheet of plywood (48 inches wide) typically fits across the bed between the wheel wells, with a little clearance to spare. Tailgate design and bed height also affect how tall or bulky items can be loaded.
Summary
The Ridgeline’s bed is about 60 inches long and roughly 50 inches wide between the side walls, a dimension that remains largely consistent across both generations. This width supports common cargo, including 4x8 sheets, while the in-bed trunk provides additional under-floor storage without changing the bed’s footprint. For exact measurements on a specific vehicle, consult the official Honda specs for that model year or measure the bed directly.
