I see from the pic you have the wider stance axles on the Passport like I do. Did you notice any benefit on swaying when the rigs passed by yet? I know it made a big difference on mine, and it stayed steadier on the road overall.

I have seen them around town and actually seen one towing a TT. Last summer On I 84 going up cabbage hill. Not sure of trailer size maybe 22-24 ft.
The vehicle was at about 20 mph. Any idea what they are rated at pulling and carrying?

Power Under the Hood
A 3.5-liter VTEC® V-6 engine with 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque gives the Ridgeline optimum power and efficiency. An innovative two-stage intake manifold and a high-mounted fresh-air intake system provide power when you need it, with high-end horsepower and low-end torque even during extreme towing conditions. The fresh-air intake draws air from the top of the front grille to protect against dust and water intrusion during launches.

STANDARD TOWING FEATURES:
• Integrated closed-box frame with unit-body construction
• Integrated class III trailer hitch
• 5,000-lb. towing capacity[1]
• Trailer harness (RTS and RTL; RT and Sport are pre-wired for a trailer harness)
• Pre-wired for trailer brake controller
• Heavy-duty radiator with dual 160-watt fans
• Heavy-duty power-steering fluid cooler
• Heavy-duty automatic-transmission fluid cooler
• Power-assisted ventilated front disc/solid rear disc brakes

[1] Towing requires the addition of the Honda accessory towing kit, trailer harness and hitch ball. Trailer harness standard on RTS and RTL models. Premium unleaded fuel recommended when towing. Please see your Honda dealer for details.



GCWR is around 10K
GVWR is around 6K
Payload is around 1500

Appears that it should tow. I have no idea why that guy I seen was driving so slow but, that is a beauiful gorge he could have been checking it out. I drive up it at 65-70 in a car and 60-50 when pulling a TT.
