If that wasn't what was needed we would try it with the Element though.

Venturas and Elements make the perfect pair, both are the squared version of their cousins (Bolers and CRV's).
It looks like I will be giving the trip a try, I just went to look at a Ridgeline tonight and I did not like it as much as my E even with all the extra options and leather heated seats. We are on the BC coast so I will have to battle the mountain passes with my Element and Ventura soon (unless I find another tug I am happy to make the switch for). Have you weighed in your Ventura by any chance? I am in the middle of renovating ours so I have not had a chance to
weight in yet and see if I will stay below the E's 1500lb rating.
