Who says Honda "Ridgeline" can't tow a 5th wheel?? Here's three pics to prove it! :B

Think Ranchero and El Camino...derived from a 'car' and the Ridgeline is derived from the Odyssey platform
All unibody/monocoque's have 'stub' frames for the engine. Whether transvers or longitudinal. Some have stub frames for their truck too...some do not. Some have a sheetmetal rail running the length of the vehicle that is a kinda sorta like a ladder frame without the cross members
Anything can be done...key is whether it is designed correctly and sized correctly for the application
Hope the engineering accounted for the increased moment (leverage) of the hitch from the pan up to the fiver's PIN. Spread that load widely...else stress raisers will rear up later down the road
