Yes, I can confirm the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack part # TH823PRO is a fit for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. In fact, we even tested the older Thule GateMate Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack on this model which was the same size and I have attached that video for you. I would be a bit caution of looking for measurements online as you never really know where they are taken. That said, I appreciate you doing your own research but there is no need to worry about this one as the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack will fit just fine.

Furthermore, I looked at other options we have which are actually a bit longer/wider, the Softride Tailgate Pad Bicycle Transporter part # SR26461 and Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack part # S64761 which have been confined as well.
