Honda Ridgeline?

Just wondering if anyone else is using the RL to tow similar weight. Thanks 2007 Dauntless 180-2007 Mercury Verado 150

Do you have the towing capacity listed on it? My wife looked at one when shopping for her Tacoma but we nixed it when it only came in 4 wheel drive, or at least something like it. Mike

I made the mistake of sitting in one then driving it Saturday. It sure is a LOT more comfortable than the Tacoma. I don't like the way they package the backup camera with the Nav Package. 3 grand more!!!. I might just bag the whole idea until I sell the boat later this year.

My outrage is about as much as i would tow with it. By comparison, I hook the outrage to the back of my Ford F-350 and don't know it's there. Kevin 1988 11' Super Sport, 1987 Johnson 15hp.
