Soundguy , just following along here but you've mentioned to me in the past that my 2011 6 cyl. (290 h.p V6 ) Grand Cherokee would not be a good tow vehicle for this TT . Just curious but what would make the Ridgeline a better choice ? Thanks
He is a doom and gloomer that believes you need twice the towing capacity to tow a TT. Not sure what your Jeep is rated to tow but 80% of towing ability seems to be the formula that most use. The 192 was designed to be towed by SUV's and midsize trucks and is within there towing abilities...PERIOD. There will be other D&G'rs that will also say that your jeep is only rated for a popup also as they have told me with my Ranger.
Nobody has told you your Ranger will only tow a popup, but several have offered their opinion that, based on their actual towing experience, you'll be pushing the Ranger's capabilities with that much trailer.
Don't be so defensive. People are offering their honest opinions and experiences. Isn't that what the forum is for?
