Weight Distribution Hitch
A friend has just bought a new Ridgeline and plans to tow a small Airstream trailer. He states that the manual says that Honda does not recommend use of weight distribution hitch. I'm trying to figure out what Honda is attempting to state. Is it the fact that the OEM receiver has issues where the after market receiver does not....or is there something else we need to know here. Supposedly the receiver is rated for 600 lbs. dead weight. The trailer's hitch weight is 540 lbs. I've never seen an automaker not recommend using a weight distribution hitch.
