What Pickup Do You Recommend for a Scamp 19'er?

[Alf S.]

Hi: All... At risk of being shot down...my take on towing with a Ridgeline is lack of wheelbase. The rear axle is to darn close to the back of the cab, at least for a 5th wheel!!!

Hmmmm.... Interesting looking, but $30,000+ for a used "kit car"??? Somehow I think that a better choice for a TV can be made. .

Yup, I bet you are right. My Nissan WB is 126". You went to the long bed with a WB of 140" to get the clearance for your Escape. The Ridgeine is only 122". It will be interesting to see what Honda does next. Raz

Here's another one, using what looks like a Suburban, for the American market?

Another potential issue with the Ridgeline towing a 5th wheel is that it has a large lockable trunk in the bed that would have to be addressed. The spare tire is located in the trunk. I guess the spare could be relocated to the bed.
