There’s a lot to love on the 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck. This midsize model combines car-like handling, maneuverable dimensions, and the versatile cargo-hauling options of a traditional pickup. One of the attractive features of this vehicle is the dual-action tailgate, which can give drivers even more options for loading and unloading. Wondering how does the Honda Ridgeline dual-action tailgate work? Read on!

How does the Honda Ridgeline Dual-Action Tailgate work?

The dual-action tailgate that comes standard on the 2017 Honda Ridgeline can either fold down like a traditional pickup’s tailgate, or it can open outward on the driver’s side more like a door. This can make it easier to load the pickup bed with cargo. In order to switch between the traditional up and down bed opening and the outward door, driver hits a switch under the edge of the tailgate, and the specialized joints will allow the door to swing open.

This practical feature is class-exclusive to the 2017 Honda Ridgeline, and is just another good reason to explore this truck if you are looking for a new midsize pickup. The available safety features and general capability are a couple of other good reasons.

Other Honda Truck Bed Features

Other attractive truck bed features available on select trims of the Ridgeline include a built-in electricity plug, a Truck Bed Audio speaker system, and lockable In-Bed Trunk® (which can double as a cooler thanks to being water tight and having a drain in the bottom!). Learn about all of these in our past post about the things we love about the bed of the 2017 Ridgeline.
