Who Says Honda "Ridgeline" Can't Tow 5th-Wheel
Who says Honda "Ridgeline" can't tow a 5th wheel?? Here's three pics to prove it! :B
Forum Discussion
- If it's a 4x4 the driveshafts on those things are like 2" diameter and the engine is transverse/fwd style.

Even unibodys have frame rails! No not the heavy steel separate fame body type, but the 2" reciver hitch bolts to it just fine! The Ridgeline has a 5,000# tow rating and will do all of that and more! Brake controller would be an add on, but likely prewired.
Turning, now looking at the pin location that could be an issue, especially with the upward sloping bed rails.
I would certainly hope he has a sliding hitch!!!3 dog nights wrote:
I don't doubt he can pull it, I worry about them stopping it.
The trailer has its own brakes.Me Again wrote:

Not on a full size pickup, which is what I was saying about how they attach the hitch. On the vehicle in question they do the same thing. A unibody is THE frame! So yes it is bolted to the frame (unibody).- Knowing how 5ers tow I would bet that thing actually tows pretty nice. Looks pretty **** light...
- Personally that is one camper we have all run across. Do I pass it.... or lay back not following to closely because of sway or bad driver. Believe me that Ridgeline driver could care less about your rig or his for that matter. Good time for a bathroom break IMO.
- Wonder what shape the truck will be in after pulling the trailer for a year? Would you like to cross the Rockys in that rig?
- I like it.

Turning, now looking at the pin location that could be an issue, especially with the upward sloping bed rails.- I wonder what the turning radius is with the clearance between the cab and nose as well as the extended pin to the bed rails.
