New Tow Vehicle!

Member Posts: 338
Traded in my 2010 Subaru Forester for a 2014 Honda Ridgeline today. I pick it up tomorrow! I'm really excited because now I'll be able to carry things like my dutch oven and bicycles. I was literally within 200 lbs of the limit on my Subaru, without gear. This will be safer and I'll feel much more confident towing with it. Plus, it matches the T@B. That's important, right? 
It will also enable me to move the spare tire out from underneath the T@B and mount it on the tongue. That way I can actually get to it if I need it.

The new ones (2016 and later) are awesome and very expensive, unfortunately.Ratkity said:Very nice!! I saw one of the new Ridgelines up close when they first came out. Classy TV!Red and White, 2017 Max S being towed by a 2014 Honda Ridgeline. Hello Mountains! -
I always liked the look of those. If I recall correctly, it comes with a built in tonneau style cover for the bed?Mark - 2016 T@b Max S (Silver/Red), 2012 F-150

I think you can get a cover, but they don't seem to be standard. It does have the hidden trunk-like space underneath the floor of the truck bed.marknjudy said:I always liked the look of those.

Good choice...
Enjoy -
I had a 2006 and a 2011 Ridgeline. You are going to love your truck. Enjoy.

Have two friends with Ridgelines (each their second) - Both with retracktable covers.
The only thing I don't like about them is that slopped sidewall - Being short, I can't reach over and grab anything, have to climb in. -
Nice! Husband bought a new one last summer; we love it!Light a campfire and everyone's a storyteller. ~John Geddes

I did the same! Towed for the first six seasons with a Jeep Liberty. No longer commute for work, and Jeep had over 150k miles, so I bought a 2016 RAM in December. I'm anxious to get stuff out of the T@B and into the truck bed. Hauling wet stuff was always a problem.

Great choice! We have a 6 cylinder RAV 4. I keep talking truck ( I had 3 small ones back in the day) and my wishlist has narrowed to the Ridgeline and Tacoma. I'm just waiting for a windfall. I suffer from sticker shock when I go looking.Terry & Jody... 2025 Honda Ridgeline RTL

I looked at both, but liked the Honda more. The price was better and I've got a friend who has 600,000 km on his. Plus, it is really roomy in the cab and the back seats are comfy.TerryV6 said:Ridgeline and Tacoma.Red and White, 2017 Max S being towed by a 2014 Honda Ridgeline. Hello Mountains! -
Not sure of the Ridgeline, but the reason I didn't go with the Tacoma was the bed was made of composite material. Dunno what the Ridgeline is made of.TerryV6 said:Great choice!

The Ridgeline has the "trunk" space underneath the truck bed. It does seem to be made of a composite material.Ratkity said:Not sure of the Ridgeline, but the reason I didn't go with the Tacoma was the bed was made of composite material.
