I looked for one in Colorado and did not see anything until I looked under San Diego. Guess Arvada, CO is on the way to San Diego.
What have you hauled lately?

*** POST your pics of hauling and/or towing ***
Just thought it would be fun to see the various uses of the G2 Ridgeline's versatility in hauling stuff in the bed and/or towing... I've seen a number of pics in various threads but thought it would be good to put all into one thread.
This was mine over the weekend hauling musical instrument/PA gear for a gig on Saturday night, with room in the front and back seats for my wife and 22 yr old son to help "roadie"... I found that it can haul as much gear as my 2005 Chevy Avalanche did with the RL's back seat flip up and in bed trunk.
Guitars, Amp head in roadcase, 3 level toolbox with cables and gear, 18" powered subwoofer, (2x) 12" powered speakers, Effects rack, Mixer, 4x12 speaker cab (backseat area), various mic/speaker stands, etc.

It makes no difference on my IPhone 7+ whether I take it in landscape or portrait mode. I have resigned myself to this ridiculous procedure if I need to post a pic on this forum.I mean take the picture in landscape orientation.
Oh, you mean fix the picture. I don’t think that will be a problem. ;j
Edit: thanks to longboat for that round tuit, I 'fixed' the image rotation.
I take the picture, then send it to my email, then save it to my computer, then upload it to this site, and it comes out perfect.
Short story: the tool box/chest in the garage tipped forward onto one of my sons (32 years old - no one was hurt).
Longer version: the boys were working on their new 2002 Acura RSX S edition; replacing the clutch, and rebuilding the transmission. A lot of the tools were on the work bench rather than in the tool box. One of my sons was getting some more necessary items out of the toolbox, when he inadvertently left three of the drawers on the lower portion of the chest open, during his search. That caused the entire tool box to tip forward on my son, after a minute or two of him leaving the box. Needless to say, I need a new toolbox as the rails were ripped from the box when the drawers fell out.
I had a Costco brand (CSPS) which is nice, but a little unbalanced. We were just talking about securing it to the wall, three days prior to the incident. I should have done it.
Went to Lowes and found an expensive tool chest combo unit (MSRP $2000) on clearance for $999. That is a little more than I wanted to spend on a tool chest, but it was much better built than the Craftsman alternative. We lifted the top section into the bed of the Ridgeline, but had to use a forklift to place the lower section into the truck. The employee at Lowes was surprised that the Ridgeline did not have the normal wheel well configuration. This unit has much more substantial wheels, but it did come with straps to secure it to the wall, which I will be using.
I placed the UltraFlex tonneau cover in the second row of the Ridgeline, so I could get the tailgate closed. With the tonneau still on the vehicle, the load extended 1/2" beyond the bed.
The Ridgeline has not failed me yet. I have managed to fit various items in the bed of this RL: snowblower, riding lawn mower, Traeger smoker, CSPS tool chest, refrigerator, etc.

I wanted so bad to use the Ridgeline to haul home 60 cases of water, but I thought better of it and rented a Home Depot flatbed PU. I figured 60 cases of 24 pack 16.8 oz water would have been overloading the Ridgeline. It was a donation for our church.
This is the first time the Ridge let me down. Or maybe, it was the amateur forklift driver who would have destroyed my RL, who made me go in a different direction. I was a little concerned about the pallet of water tipping forward a bit with the Ridgeline and I had to travel around 30 miles through/around Denver traffic.

Made a normal HD run and came home with these Toro Recycler 22” 60V electric lawn mowers with the Personal pace system.
Normally they are too expensive, but they were marked down from $549 to $299. Got one for my brother also. I have a relatively new Honda HRX217HZA, but that thing is heavy.

Hauled 4 wheels/tires home from Discount Tire for my son's GX460. They are considerably larger than the RL tires, so we had to do some stacking. Only got a photo of two of them in the bed. My son asked me if these tires would have fit in the bed of the Santa Cruz. My answer, "Maybe, stacked 4 high."

Another color change by the Radiant Red. Nice load.30 bags of mulch. I'd also show how little they covered of my wife's HUGH flower garden all around our property but that makes me sad how much more I'll need!!

Brought a variety of garden soil home for the wife. I am hoping she will like one of the varieties. I used four bags on the lawn that had a tough winter. I did not like the dirt in the yellow bag as much as the one in the white bag. I ended up leaving her the expensive stuff ($8) in the black bag.
Miracle Grow has a lot of different choices, but Mountain Dew still holds the crown for spin-offs. Am I wrong for protecting my bedrug from the dirt with a blanket?

We took our vehicle on the Jamestown-Scotland ferry in Williamsburg, VA. It was pretty interesting. That weaving loom looks like it will take up quite a bit of real estate in your home.
