Swing-Open Truck Tailgate

The Ridgeline's tailgate swings open or drops down, your choice. Swinging it open allows you to load heavy objects without having to stretch over the tailgate. It's also handy when you want to load loose items, such as gravel.

The truck has a steel reinforced, 5-foot, composite truck bed that's designed to carry up to a half-ton of cargo.

If you want to haul long items, putting the tailgate in a down position increases the Ridgeline's bed length to 6.5 feet.
