Last Train? Trailer sure looks nose down 4 or 5 inches and Ridgeline squatting at least the same.......may be the picture angle. Trailer nose down is usually better than nose high.
Ralph, huge apologies for not responding to your post earlier. "Life" just sort of gets in the way of reading/posting on these forums, eh?
So re your squatting observations. I have regularly measured the drop of our Ridgeline at the rear bumper, and it has never exceeded two inches - and I measure that once we are fully loaded the night before we depart for a trip early the next morning. I also measure our tongue weight with a Sherline scale, as well. Maybe the graphics on the 192RBS distort the view a bit in that picture.
A bit of experience from our night-time return from our camping trip in Garner State Park last week . . . I think I mentioned earlier in this thread that we drove/towed home in the rain, but I may not have said that the last hour of the trip was in the dark. So all traffic was running with headlights on - that included us, of course, and I also had our fog lights on as I recall. I mention this because no one - not one vehicle - in oncoming traffic "flashed" us thinking that our high beams were on or that our lights were just in their eyes. This was about a 50 mile segment of our trip and all on two lane, secondary roads.
