2006 Ridgeline V6 Honda does fine for me, hauling my baby home from a 6 hour return trip back home.

I know it is not your heavy duty dully etc... but I have used it many times and does the trick for me.

No way I'd tow at(or several hundred pounds over) the towing capacity of a unibody car.

I'd put a 1,500-2,000 lb limit if I was forced to tow with a Ridgeline.

I had a 2013 F150 and my empty car hauler(2k-2.2k lbs) was no fun to tow. The towing capacity on that car was 11k +/- lbs.

The transmission(transaxle?) in the Honda must be suffering.

Jesse !!!! How the heck are ya ??? I haven't seen you, or either of your vehicles in a couple years. Are you attending the show at Stillwater on the 10th ? I'm so damned busy, I'm tempted to skip it but I should show up and help run registration again.
