@LauraRey: One other thing... About your Honda Ridgeline: It's probably a "better tower" (a bit more durable) than my Pilot. Although I'm only guessing, I say that because it's an educated guess based on the differences between the Ridgeline and Pilot. The Ridgeline has something like 83 (?) differently-designed/beefed-up…
I had to trade in my Forester when I got my T@B. I would love to have stayed with Subaru, but they utterly refuse to create a vehicle that can tow. Weird. They are losing a huge section of the market. I opted for a Honda Ridgeline and love it.
