| Does anyone use their Ridgeline to tow a boat? If so, what size boat/trailer/weight. Any problems at steep launches?Any info would be helpful. Thanks for your time. |

| No worries, spazboy. I tow a 19' Bayliner that weighs 3,250 lb on the trailer. Tows very easily and steep ramps are no problems, even if they are wet and a little muddy. |

I tow a yamaha SX230HO with tower and other goodies weighing 4500ibs and the RTL tows it nice even in steep mountain passes. On the boat ramp its really nice with good power even when ramps are slimy. I suggest to use premium fuel when towing on your Ridge.
I admit I am aquiring a new SUV which will have a little bigger engine and a little more power very soon. However the towing capabilities have been good and very adequate so far with the Ridge. |

| It's not a boat but I tow a 22 foot 1978 Komfort trailer. It weighs close to the max at 4500 lbs. Tows great. I use the load leveling hitch to reduce the tongue weight and the truck rides level. |
