The cover no longer requires a rail system for installation and is much lighter than the previous cover, Sterns noted. The redesigned tonneau cover for the 2017 Ridgeline is expected to be a popular choice for buyers.
The intent was to make each dealer accessory more financially attractive to a Ridgeline buyer because the time to install each accessory would be reduced, according to Kerry McClure, Ridgeline chief engineer. Much of the work to install many of the accessories, such as holes to attach running boards, electrical connections for puddle lights and the heated steering wheel, was engineered into the 2017 Ridgeline during vehicle development. "We (also) are targeting sport-utility intenders." "We talked with current owners as well as potential owners," Stevi Sterns, Ridgeline accessories product planner, told Edmunds. The feature is standard on the high-end Ridgeline RTL-E and Black Edition and optional on other models. The vehicle is pre-wired for the heated steering wheel. Owners can even add a heated steering wheel weeks after taking delivery of their Ridgeline.
