Towing weight limits – HONDA 2013 Ridgeline User Manual
Page 296
Your vehicle has been designed to
tow a trailer, as well as carrying
passengers and their cargo. To
safely tow a trailer, you should
carefully observe the load limits (see
page
), use the proper equipment,
and follow the guidelines in this
section.
The maximum allowable weight of
the trailer and everything in or on it
depends on the number of occupants
in your vehicle and the type of trailer
being towed (see page
).
Towing a trailer that is too heavy can
seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling and performance. It can
also damage the engine and
drivetrain.
Avoid towing a trailer during your
vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km)
(see page
).
Be sure to read the
