Honda Ridgeline Bed Racks: Finally, a No-Drill Solution for 2017+ Trucks

KB Voodoo Fabrications introduces a new mounting solution that makes its entire lineup of truck bed racks and crossbars compatible with the 2017–present Honda Ridgeline.

For years, Honda Ridgeline owners have faced a frustrating challenge: finding a versatile truck bed rack that fits their vehicle without requiring drilling, custom fabrication, or permanent modifications.

Unlike conventional pickup trucks, the second-generation Honda Ridgeline features a unique bed design that makes installing traditional bed rack systems more complicated. While owners of trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford F-150 have access to a wide variety of overland racks, utility racks, and crossbar systems, Ridgeline owners have historically had fewer options.

That has finally changed.

KB Voodoo Fabrications has developed a new Honda Ridgeline Bed Rack Adapter Bracket System that makes our entire lineup of American-made bed racks and crossbars compatible with 2017 and newer Honda Ridgeline trucks.

And perhaps the most important feature?

No drilling. No modifications. Existing factory mounting holes and original Honda hardware.

The Longstanding Honda Ridgeline Bed Rack Problem

The Honda Ridgeline is a capable, versatile pickup truck, but its unique bed construction has presented challenges for aftermarket bed rack manufacturers.

Many conventional truck bed racks are designed around mounting arrangements found on traditional pickup trucks. These designs don't always translate easily to the Ridgeline.

For owners interested in carrying kayaks, bicycles, rooftop tents, ladders, or additional cargo, this has often meant a more limited selection of compatible racks or the need to investigate specialized mounting solutions.

The challenge isn't necessarily finding a rack capable of carrying the equipment. It's finding a practical way to mount that rack to the truck.

KB Voodoo set out to address that problem.

Introducing the KB Voodoo Honda Ridgeline Bed Rack Adapter Brackets

Our new adapter brackets provide a straightforward way to install any KB Voodoo truck bed rack or crossbar system on a 2017–present Honda Ridgeline.

Instead of requiring a completely different rack design for the Ridgeline, these purpose-built brackets create compatible mounting locations for our existing rack systems.

The result is a versatile mounting solution that opens up an entire range of bed rack configurations.

Whether you prefer low-profile crossbars, a mid-height cargo rack, or a full-height overlanding system, the choice is now yours.

No Drilling. No Modifications. No Complicated Installation.

One of the most important advantages of the new Honda Ridgeline adapter brackets is their straightforward installation.

No drilling or modification is required for installation.

The brackets utilize existing factory mounting holes located in the Honda Ridgeline truck bed and attach using the truck's original factory hardware.

There is no need to drill new holes, cut into the bed, or permanently modify the vehicle.

Once installed, the heavy-duty steel brackets provide mounting locations for KB Voodoo bed rack and crossbar systems.

The brackets also feature slotted mounting holes, allowing flexible rack positioning to accommodate different KB Voodoo rack configurations.

Designed Around the Truck, Not the Other Way Around

Rather than requiring Ridgeline owners to modify their trucks to accommodate a conventional rack, KB Voodoo developed an adapter that works with the truck's existing mounting provisions.

It's a practical solution to a problem that has complicated Honda Ridgeline bed rack installations for years.

Factory mounting holes. Factory hardware. No drilling. No modifications.

One Adapter System. Every KB Voodoo Bed Rack.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of this new mounting solution is the variety of rack systems it makes available to Honda Ridgeline owners.

The adapter brackets are compatible with the complete KB Voodoo bed rack lineup.

The ability to choose from the complete KB Voodoo rack lineup means owners can configure their trucks around their individual needs.

Whether you're transporting kayaks to the lake, bicycles to the trailhead, equipment to a jobsite, or camping gear for a weekend adventure, there is now a much broader selection of KB Voodoo rack configurations available for your Ridgeline.

As always, cargo capacity and equipment compatibility depend on the selected rack configuration, proper installation, and applicable vehicle limitations.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction, Made in the USA

Like our truck bed rack systems, the Honda Ridgeline adapter brackets are manufactured with durability in mind.

The brackets feature heavy-duty steel construction and a protective black textured powder-coated finish.

They are manufactured in the United States and engineered specifically for use with KB Voodoo bed rack and crossbar systems.
