My buddy is entering his highly modified Mazdaspeed Protege into HIN Chicago, and we were thinking about using my Ridgeline to trailer it there. I think it's capable, but I'm wondering if anyone has towed different vehicles with one, and their opinions/suggestions.

 

are you considering towing the car with a hitch/trailer?

from honda.com

STANDARD TOWING FEATURES:

• Pre-wired for 4- and 7-pin connectors
• Pre-wired for trailer brake controller
• Heavy-duty radiator with dual 160-watt fans
• Heavy-duty power steering fluid cooler
• Heavy-duty ATF cooler
• Huge front and rear brake rotors
• Closed-box frame with unit-body construction
• 5,000-lb. towing capacity<U></U>


you do the math. your mazda weighs in 3000lbs MAX. the Ridgeline can tow 5k lbs... i dont think a hitch/trailer will weigh anywhere close to 2000 lbs.

 

u should be fine towing the vehicle but look in ur owners manual as to ur what gear u should drive in. i think its D3.
