*** 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.

Apparently I've been hauling this stowaway around for a few days, wife opened the passenger door on the 2022 RL last night and this fella greeted her - the meeting was not mutually enjoyed.
Don't know what kind he is but we shooed him away- and a good time was had by all. View attachment 432890
I think it is non poisonous. Still, it will scare the 💩 out of you. Had a similar problem years ago. Garage door was open and I found a snake laying beside the car drivers side door. Limited lighted and seeing eerie markings like a copperhead or rattlesnake. Turned out it wasn’t. Used a broom to get it out of the garage and no issues. Told my wife and she said glad I got it out of the garage, since she would leave an hour later or more after I left for work and I would have probably come home and found her dead. So far I’ve seen copperheads and rattlesnakes as well , as rat snakes and black snakes. I know we live where the snakes are so not an issue for me, but it does scare the 💩 out of when me when I’m surprised by one.

That Yamaha looks like it's in great shape!
Thanks @DTHughes just spent some time on it painting the frame, re lacing the wheels, new crank bearings and seals, etc.

Had to transport a new 65" TV and stand to another house 84 miles away.
Made sure all was secure and it never budged in the bed.

I would’ve done almost anything for an IT when I was in high school. I did have a Hercules 175 though. Junk.
Nice 6 Days

They work really well. There are different sizes available but I chose to go with the larger size just in case. I have used them a few times now and they hold everything firm. So those and bungees work really well together. I carry two of the ratcheting straps and 4 long bungees in the trunk at all times.

Thanks! Thinking of picking up a set. I appreciate your insight.

I have a set of four ratcheting straps and they are the best thing I have purchased for the Ridgeline. I ordered the smaller 1" width, but I have had them over four years now and they still work like new. They are priced at $55 and have a clear storage case which keeps them nice and tidy.

Just bought my first Ridgeline (2019 EX-L model) a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it! Loaded my first haul today filling the bed with eight Lenovo 27" monitors in box, folding up the second row magic-seats for other misc boxes. Fantastic fit!

Ski lodge on wheels. The boot bags and gear fit nicely in the back seat area with the seats folded up. Camp chair assists with me booting up in the lot; my wife boots up at the house.

After reading this comment I went ahead and watched Emily the Criminal, gave me a good chuckle, LOL!
