I haven't actually weighed them together yet, but last time I weighed the Jeep it was around 4400lbs and the title to the trailer says 1500lbs. Here in the next week or so, I will run them on the scales to get a more accurate figure and let you know.

It didn't do too bad on my little 40 mile test run. For living here at over 6000 ft elevation and towing up and down some pretty good hills, it did ok. One pretty good pull brought me down to 50mph, and as soon as I crested it, the speed went back up to 65.

I was just curious to see how it would tow. I will use my Suburban to do the towing just because this combo is over Honda's recommended weight limit and I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt the truck or void any warranties.

Re: Ridgeline's can tow (photos)

How do you post pictures in here? I used the Insert Image tool but all that appears is the address to the photo.

Anyway here are links to pictures of my Ridgeline with my Teardrop camper.

How to post photos
>>>>>>>>>>>> How to post photos <<<<<<<<<<<<

I see that you did use the IMG tags. Well, I have seen a few websites/forums that don't allow what I call photo-grabs.

You can use the attach image tool (paperclip icon) but you need to have the photo somewhere local (C: drive, etc.), not from a web address.

When I tried to view your pictures, it says "not authorized"?
