Honda Ridgeline 2017–2025: Rear bed liner priced at $10,082
The Ridgeline 2017–2025 bed liner costs $10,082.22 in the U.S., 25% of the new $40,000 vehicle price; escalating parts costs push the total loss rate up to 27%.
According to Carscoops, the bed liner for the 2017–2025 Honda Ridgeline is listed at $10,082.22 in the U.S. (excluding labor). This is approximately 25% of the $40,000 starting price of a new Ridgeline, and nearly equal to the price of some used 2017 Ridgelines at around $12,000.
Floor mats cost as much as used cars: facts and context.
Honda's official parts catalog in the U.S. lists the Ridgeline 2017–2025 bed liner at $10,082.22. Some Honda parts dealers sell it for less, starting at $6,593.77. In fact, one owner shared on Reddit that they found a used liner in a junkyard for $500, plus $400 for shipping.
One Reddit user speculated that the high price might be due to an emergency supplier allowing for flexible pricing. Conversely, some argued that replacing the floorboard isn't necessary if the damage isn't structural and has minimal impact on safety or performance.
Economic consequences of repairs: when does it become a “total loss”?
With used 2017 Ridgelines currently selling for around $12,000, the cost of replacing the bed liner alone, at the list price, is close to the vehicle's value. In this context, insurance companies might consider classifying the vehicle as a total loss rather than covering the expensive repairs.
Carscoops, citing research, reports that the percentage of vehicles classified as total loss after accidents in the U.S. has increased to approximately 27%, up from 19% in 2018. Beyond the accident category, escalating repair and parts costs are impacting overall insurance premiums, driving up the cost of car ownership in the U.S.
Value and positioning: a perspective from parts costs.
At a starting price of $40,000 for a new vehicle, the Ridgeline targets customers needing a versatile, mid-size pickup truck. However, the fact that the bed deck is expensive highlights the risk of after-sales costs: when a basic item can account for a significant portion of the vehicle's value, repair and replacement decisions become sensitive to insurance assessments and parts availability.
