using a 2012 ridgeline for towing
I just purchased a 2019 R-POD 119 and planning on using my 2012 ridgeline to tow it. Has anyone else using their ridgeline for towing a TT. Would appreciate all responses...Thank You

It's unsafe in that situation and will be putting everyone and their families at risk on the road. Get a 1 ton dually with a Cummins Powertoke Max diesel, get some airbags and a Hensley. Make sure you have LT tires on the truck and trailer or better yet see if you can get some military spec bulletproof ones. Take the whole shebang over to a Cat scale and weigh it every way you can think of.
1 out of 10 for a "witty" sarcastic reply.

In addition in 2012 the Ridgeline had a 5,000# towing capacity. Move our DD from Portland, OR to Bolder, CO. with a U-Haul tandem axle box trailer loaded to 4,600# and three adults and two large dogs. Trailer towed like a dream, only issue was in the blue mountains in eastern Oregon section of I 84 has a 7%+ climb, we were down to about 45. It will do very well towing an R-Pod.
