Not sure if there are any Honda Ridgeline owners on here who use it as a tow vehicle but if there are, I'm sure they will have some helpful advice or comments for you.
to the forum and if you wish to have a look at our Pre-Delivery Inspection checklist, go to the Keystone Questions section of the forum. Look at the top of the threads - you'll see a Sticky there by that name. Many members have found it to be a useful tool when doing their walk-through at the dealership.
