Honda Ridgeline hauling a Forrest River 201 BHXL
Is it possible to haul a Forrest River 201 BHXL with a Ridgeline? I think the camper is around 5000#.

- 1/2 ton pickups come in a wide variety of payload/towing capabilities. The bottom of the barrel are not much better than a subcompact car. The top of the line are darn near 3/4 ton truck capable.
Nope, even the best "top of the line" well configured "half ton" doesn't come close to a 3/4 ton for available cargo..
Here is my yellow sticker for my 2020 F250 XLT Supercab shortbed 4x2 with 6.2 engine..
That is at least 1500 lbs more available cargo than say XL Reg cab shortbed F150 4x2 with Eco boost and max tow option..
One also must be careful when saying "top of the line" as that typically means all of the options, bells and whistles like crew cab long bed 4x4 with top level trim..
The words you are looking for is "correctly configured" you can get a higher payload than fully loaded "top of the line"..
A poorly configured 1/2 ton may end up with 1,200 lbs of payload..
