Question Honda Ridgeline for a 3124

Anyone out there have a 3124KS being tow with a Honda Ridgeline? I have a 2720SD that I tow with my 2008 Honda Ridgeline and I am looking to upgrade to a 3124 but wonder if my Honda will tow this okay. We took a cross country a year ago and had no trouble except for a few hills, but found out if I turn off the ac in the TV than we made the hills fine. So now I am thinking will I have more trouble with the 3124KS or will I need to go to a bigger truck? I don't use a WDH at present time.,

I have a 3124KS (but not a Honda Ridgeline.)

I have put it on the scale loaded for camping and it is 4500 lbs. We don't camp really light or really heavy. With a 5000 lb towing capacity you would be pretty close but not over. The axle rating for the trailer is 5000 lbs so you would need to stay below that in any case.

I would definitely get a weight distributing hitch. A heavier trailer will give you more tongue weight. I use one with a Toyota Tundra (7200 lbs towing). I got lazy once for a very short tow and didn't hook up the bars. I had trouble with the hitch scraping the ground.

You would be fairly close so you would need to weigh it all.
