Honda's anti-WDH stand was the main reason we decided not to buy a Ridgeline, even though we loved the vehicle.
they are the only auto manufacturer that takes such a stand.
what this told me was Honda doesn't really trust their vehicles for towing a travel trailer, which WDH are almost always needed for a tow vehicle with a 5000lbs. towing capacity.
it basically says, yes the Ridgeline is our truck and can tow a popup or boat but we don't think it should tow anything bigger.
as was said, go to the Ridgeline Owners Forum. a lot of Ridgeline owners ignore Honda and use a WDH anyway.
and go with electric brakes and a Prodigy brake controller.
