Yeah I know what you mean. Apparently my Peterbilt and Freightliner are not strong enought to pull a real trailer. btw, one of the grain trailers I pull is only 28', so I MUST be able to pull it with a ridgeline. Hmmm.....That trailer weighs more than his whole she-bang, He would think 'good to go'

Titans are for tots, and Ridgelines for rump-rangers...

I've only ever seen one, but my friend's dad had a 5-er that was less than 20 feet. I don't know what it weighed, he pulled it with a full size, but maybe it was light enough to pull with a compact.

Ridgelines are bad trucks! I bought one for my wife to haul the groceries home. It was purchased with an Odyssey body on it. Everything other than the body is the same thing as a Ridgeline.

Talkin' bout haulin groceries though, that thing can really move'em. Odyssey owner's manual says its tow rating is 3,500. I'd be scared to try it. Maybe 2,500 lbs worth of pop-up though.

I bet with the Ridgelines "truck body" it can haul even more groceries. Maybe even a few pumpkins, and a watermellon.

I had to log on to RV blah blah to post my comments. They are as follows:

I feel sorry for those folks who had the wreck and hope they are all ok, but I can't beleive anyone would want to pull a trailer bigger than an lawn mower with a little baby truck like that. Especially a 30 footer! DUH!!!! You can boost these little trucks up all you want, but they will never take over the towing market. I heard about this thread over on a diesel (real truck) website and thought I'd post my little thoughts on little trucks. Folks that tow big trailers with them are just putting everyone on the road at risk no matter what my opinions are.....driver error or not, they are not safe.

And someone said a Dodge Ram is a wanna be.....something or another. Dude, lay off the drugs. Really, are you kidding me? The lug nuts on my truck require more torque than your TITAN makes!

What a bunch of dorks! I should have said "all the lug nuts put together!"

We should make a new man-law. Don't tell us what you posted without providing a link!

Man law?

P.S. Linky, linky please.

I kept my post civil, but the next isn't going to be real nice depending on what is said.
