Recommended Tonneau Cover for 2018 Honda Ridgeline with Track and Crossbar System Installed

Published 11/26/2019

Question:

I am looking to purchase a bed cover that I can use with bed rails. The bed rail set up I would like to use involves using a pair of Thule TP54 54 inch Top-Tracks with Flare-Nuts and match them with Yakima Skylines. Only mentioning this so you can have an idea what I am trying to do. Are there any options similar to the retrax pro Xr that I can use with a ridgeline. I appreciate your help

There isn't a tonneau cover available for your 2018 Honda Ridgeline like the RetraxPRO that features its own side rail channels, however it sounds like you've already got your track and crossbar system figured out so it's really just a matter of picking out a quality tonneau that won't interfere with it.

Any retractable cover for your truck is going to overlap the top rails a bit so your best option will be with a soft roll-up cover that can sneak under the crossbars when rolling it up. For this I recommend the TruXedo Lo Pro # TX530601 that is designed specifically for your Honda Ridgeline, will install completely inside the bed rails, and features an easy 1-finger trigger latch that quickly secures the cover at the tailgate to protect your cargo.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well so you can see exactly how it will look and function.
