i dont consider myself to be a weight police member at all
ive towed trailers with light weight vehicles(ford windstar:2500 lb tt and dodge dakota:4000lb tt), they and i struggled. true the honda has more power than either of those two vehicles, but engine power isnt the only requirement
unibody construction and independent rear suspension with a carlike ride do not make into a good solid tow vehicle
sure members of a honda ridgeline forum are going to say they tow great, they very likely have never towed with anything else. i thought our dakota was a great tv until we went to a full sized truck
now, instead of struggling with winds and long hills, we can do 100 kph all day with neither the truck or us breaking a sweat
i started towing in the early 70's, towing heavy (by todays standards) tt's with huge american sedans and wagons, believe me they sucked!! but until comfortable pickups came along, that's all there was.
i have towed travel trailers with just about every type of car and truck, from big old american cars to modern pickups and lots of vehicles in between
so im just voicing my opinion based on several decades of experience!
X2 been there done that.
