Did you have any weight in the bed ? The Ridgeline is based on a FWD platform and doesn't have a lot of unloaded weight in the back. Even with my much heavier full-size truck I can sometimes feel the trailer rocking front/aft and wanting to unload the rear. Another thing to have a look at are the rear shocks.
