yeah, a lot of Ridgeline owners seem to be complete morons and feel they have something to prove as far as towing capability. Someone posted a link to a Ridgeline forum on here a while back. It was one of those "show us what you're towing" threads. I could not believe what these guys were towing, and even saying, "heck I don't even know it's back there!" They are some crazy\stupid SOB's!

I've seen a couple F150s that were just as bad. It's not just Honda owners.

I wouldn't even use a F350 to tow that... It's gotta be a F450 or F550...

Agreed. I should have mentioned that I wouldn't attempt to tow that in an F150 even.

Welllll maybe if I had one of dem' der' new F150's with the "fully boxed frame" I would.

F350 would be fine with that trailer. Now depending on what its loaded with would be the difference

A 150 would tow that trailer. The honduh isn't squatting THAT bad. It is way over its ratings though.

It's not always the Towing,it's the Stopping....
I'd hate to see that Guy try and keep it at a Safe speed going down a long,steep grade.

Here's a comparison,
The Tbird weighs about 4,000 lbs and I have the Factory Tow Package and 4wd.
I would rather have the car sit about a foot back on the trailer,but that's what I'm limited to with uhaul...
