Anyone towing with a Honda Ridgeline?

A project manager at my old job had a Ridgeline while everyone else was in half-tons and 3/4 tons. He put lots of miles on his truck but would occasionally drag a 20ft enclosed trailer loaded with concrete and shotcrete equipment and he never had a problem. He also dragged a two ton rebar load on a flat deck trailer.

You should be fine.

LOL! Touche'. I cant touch you for miles. Great looking bike, I have a Chieftain and I really couldn't be more happy with it. However I think a ZR2 would still fit you better!

You should be just fine.

I am sorry you must not have saw the fine detail on the rules for owning an Indian. It states that "during such time as you are owning, in possession of or even cosigned for an Indian Motorcycle or a reasonable copy there of, you are forbade from driving/towing such motorcycle with a Honda Ridgeline or being in possession of or driving a Toyota Prius. Violations of this rule require pulling of man card, relinquishing control of Indian Motorcycle until such time as you have come to your senses". I would suggest seeing your doctor and perhaps he/she can adjust your T levels to keep you from violating said terms of ownership. The upside is there a countless other tow vehicles to choose from to maintain compliance.

Now was that nice? You made me spit coffee all over my computer screen... LMAO! Since you get extra Man Card points when you ride the Indian 18,000+ miles a year methinks I am still good to go. :B

Here is my towing set up {taken at Buckskin Mountain SP on the Colorado River last January}:



The V-10 in our 24' C has handled it quite well but I am looking forward to utilizing our new Ridgeline as well. For day trips with the RZR using the Ridgeline will be a better combination. On longer trips to visit our friends {up in Angel Fire NM} will probably see the RL used as we don't need the accommodations of the coach at their house.

I need to go to a 4" drop for the hitch to get the trailer level at 16" but have one out in the garage. I'll post a couple of pics when I get around to hooking up the trailer. I've been told to log 500 - 1,000 miles before towing so am in no hurry.

We had an '06 Ridgeline for 12 years and towed a 2700lb Lund boat with it all the time. Never had an issue and liked the truck. We have a Pilot now and it does the same job.

If the Ridgeline is equipped for it, rated for it, and in good condition, there is no reason not to.

My brother has been towing his VW beetle or van on an open trailer behind his Honda Pilot. It did a pretty good job but he ended up getting a Ram 1500.
