Weight distribution hitch question
I just bought a Passport 153ML....my 2013 Honda ridgeline states "We don't recommend using a weight distribution hitch" max towing is 5000lbs hitch weight with all my passengers is rated for 550-6...

Expect your loaded up TW to be a quite bit more than what's posted. Towing at near full gross using a non full frame TV doesn't work for me, been there .
IMO, there is a reason for Honda to post such a restriction.
If you read the Ron Gratz WDH post on rv.net, it will (in detail) explain the forces applied during the use of a WDH.
I would think the lack of a full frame at the same time overloading the front axle will be the restriction.
