I saw this going S on I85 outside of Charlotte yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't capture the entire set up, but I think you can clearly see that this Honda Ridgeline needs some WD help.

The trialer was ~22 ft toy hauler with a fold down ramp in the rear... I wonder what was inside.

Probably good thing something was inside to lift up the tounge. They sure are working that little "car."

It's their rig. I'm sitting here trying very hard to be bothered by their sins, but haven't been successful. Maybe it doesn't concern me.

As I look at the pic, I wonder...is the "problem" with the rear of the truck being so low?

It probably would if you or someone in your family were riding next to them, knowing good and well than in an emergency situation they (and you) are screwed!

The photo was taken out on the east coast somewhere. I'm in Minnesota. If you see them headed my way let me know, and I'll try again to become concerned.

Thanks.

(But you guys on the eastern seaboard, keep an eye out for that Honda now, ya hear!)

It doesn't matter WHERE the photo was taken, in that I'll bet this isn't the only guy in the country that puts his 5000-lb capacity vehicle over the limit. As a matter of fact, I'll bet if you look long and hard enough, you can find the same problem even in Minnesota, and maybe even close to you!!!...............

The funny thing about the Ridgeline is it gets 1mpg better than the Avalanche, but the Avy is a much better truck.
