2023 Honda Ridgeline Towing Guide in Chantilly, VA

2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E shown above in Modern Steel Metallic with HDPâ„¢ Bronze Package.

Aim for success on your next towing adventure by taking the wheel of the 2023 Honda Ridgeline! To remove any ambiguity about the capabilities of this midsize pickup truck the team at Honda of Chantilly has put together this overview.

Specifications 

First things first, let's dive into the Ridgeline’s performance abilities. The base trim of this model boasts a standard 3.5L V6 engine and an AWD drivetrain. Together, these systems are able to produce up to 280 horsepower1 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque2 when you press the gas pedal. That is plenty to get your adrenaline pumping in the morning! You won’t feel jolts or jumps between gear shifts, thanks to the standard 9-speed automatic transmission. It also has standard steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to give you control over your acceleration when you want it. Clearly, this model won't let you down when you embark on your next trip on Sully Road.

Towing

When you choose a vehicle that can pull some extra weight, be sure that it meets your requirements. Fortunately, the 2023 Honda Ridgeline has a standard 5,000-lb. towing capacity3, which means you can bring your favorite ATV or bowrider boat with you on your camping excursion! Do you want to load up the truck bed with tools, building materials, or luggage? Then you're in luck, because this set of wheels has a 1,583-lb. maximum payload capacity4 on the base trim level. This is plenty for all of your trips to the job site. Before towing or hauling anything, make sure that its weight doesn't exceed your capability, and check with your Owner's Manual for additional information.

Tips

Now that you know more about the Ridgeline’s potential, there are a few things you should know to prepare yourself for an upcoming towing endeavor. First of all, there is a trailer hitch on the back end of this Honda vehicle with a 7-pin connector. This is used to attach the trailer to the Ridgeline and enable electronic control of the brake lights and turn signals. Connecting this feature is mandatory across the country, so be sure to attach it according to the manufacturer instructions. We can’t forget to mention that towing can make seeing your surroundings more difficult. Drive more slowly to accommodate for this, and thoroughly examine your mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes.

We hope this 2023 Honda Ridgeline towing guide in Chantilly, VA, has gotten you prepared for your trailering ventures. To find this pickup truck, visit Honda of Chantilly!
