But yall are missing a major point here, its on an ALUMINUM trailer, they are very light!! HAHAHA

 

Wow. Did he buy it just to look at it? Because if he did actually use it, at least once, it wouldn't be back on land. The RidgeLine simply wouldn't be able to pull it out of the water.

 

I would pay to sit at the ramp with a video camera and watch that thing TRY and pull it up the ramp

 

Maybe he gets his buddies to help.


"Hey you can come to the lake today with me for a ride in my super boat. Just as long as you can pull it up the ramp for me at the end of the day. Thanks man!"

 

The best is when they think smoking the tires while five guys in the bed jump, helps.

 

It's a front wheel based truck with a vicious coupling rear end that only locks when there is slip to provide the rear wheels with traction.

The rear end isn't even a real differential.

 

Sorry, I meant all the idiots at the boat ramps. I wasn't being vehicle specific.

 

Reminds me of trying to pull our 26' boat out at the lake with my 4 banger ranger with a stick. The ramp was sloped like this /, and there was a hole right where the trailer tire was. Couldn't get around it either way. Ended up having a 3500 Mega Cab Dodge pull us out. That was embarrassing.

 

going foward I wouldnt worry to much about, even with barkes on all three trlr axles I want to see this guy stop this thing from highway speed ( 75-0 10000'?)

 

As soon as he gets on the roadway that boat would rip the hitch right out of that unibody....ie. framless vehicle!.............

 

the Ridge does in fact have a ladder frame reinforcing the unibody

 

He launches the boat out of the water off a ramp and flies through the air to land on the trailer........................................
I think I saw that on McGuyver or the A-Team.

 

Hey wait a minute- in Connecticut- many marinas use tractor looking things to move around and park boats in spaces on the lot...Maybe this dealership in the photos uses a Ridgeline

 

.....

 

My F150 would sag just as much as that if I towed it. And that is with the
5.4l, reg. bed, load E tires, 2 additional leaf springs and a set of hell-wig helper springs.

The Ridgeline is a yuppie truck, but it does have a Honda engine in it. Just because it is a light weight doesn't mean it's crap. It might be a perfect "truck " for someone.

Trucks are all good, it doesn't matter what brand or how big or small......

Go Ford!
Go Chevy!
Go Dodge!
Go Toyota!
Go Nissan!
Go Honda!
Ect..........
