Dual-Action Tailgate

What’s the Benefit?

This ingenious tailgate design makes for great convenience and functionality for owners.

The Feature:

The Honda Ridgeline’s dual-action tailgate can either be lowered, like a conventional tailgate, or it can be swung open like a door, allowing easy access to the bed contents or the In-Bed Trunk^®.

• A stop at the 30-degree-open position allows bed access in tight spaces, for example, when parallel-parked.
• The dual-action tailgate’s 300-pound dynamic-load capacity means that it can safely support the weight of large loads, such as a motorcycle or ATV.³⁸
• A special gutter under the tailgate prevents bulk items such as sand or gravel from jamming the mechanism and preventing the tailgate from closing.
• Ridgeline's tailgate power-locks and -unlocks with the doors.
