Expert Answers about Honda Ridgeline


  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For 2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL AWD
  • Since your 2019 KZ escape 191 bh has a GVWR of 4000lbs it should have trailer brakes installed from the factory, so you will need to have a 7-way connector and trailer brake controller on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline AWD RTL to use the brakes. If your Ridgeline does not already have a 7-way connector installed you will need to add one using T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118288. For a trailer brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195...

  • Can I Open My In-Bed Trunk With the TruXedo Pro X15 Installed On a 2018 Honda Ridgeline
  • I do have an option for you but the TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover part # TX1430601 will only allow you to open the in-bed trunk about 80% of the way because the rails sit inside the bed around an 1" or so on each side. If you want to be able to open the trunk up all the way you will need to use a tonneau cover that mounts on top of the bed rails. I recommend the Extang Trifecta 2.0 Soft Tonneau Cover part # EX92590 because this cover mounts on top of the bed rails so you will have...

  • Does Curt Front Hitch for 2019 Honda Ridgeline Require Trimming Front Bumper
  • The Curt front hitch part # C31082 that we offer for your 2019 Honda Pilot does not require any front fascia or bumper trimming to install but you will need to remove a lower fascia panel. You can trim and reinstall it if you like though. I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like installed for you to check out as well.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • First let's get your 2019 Honda Ridgeline setup for a 7-way and brake controller. It sounds like you might have a 7-way already installed, but if you didn't the correct kit would be the part # 118288 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The brake controller I recommend is the P3 part # 90195 that you referenced. This is the best performing controller and also the most advanced so it will do the best job for you overall.

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118778 is the best choice to add a wiring harness to your 2019 Honda Ridgeline because it is a simple installation that will only require you to make a plug-in connection at the rear of your vehicle and install provided fuses.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2010 Honda Ridgeline
  • I recommend the CIPA universal Dual-View Clip-on Towing Mirrors # 11953-2 for your 2010 Honda Ridgeline, because of the dual mirror adjustment that increases viewing area and because of how easy it is to install. This is a universal style mirror but it basically just clips over the mirror housing for an easy install that is also very secure.

  • What Is Harness for In Glove Box of 2023 Honda Ridgeline
  • The wiring harness you have in your glovebox is also for a trailer brake controller, it has a plug which matches the one under your dash therefore all you would have to do is splice on the universal wiring harness that comes with the brake controller. The other option is to use a completely custom harness like the ones you mentioned which don't require any splicing, the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3070-P which will then work great with an option...

  • Thin Walled Socket Recommendation for Installing Hitch Ball E2 Fastway Weight Distribution System
  • To install the hitch ball on an Equal-i-Zer weight distribution system you do need to use a thin-walled socket.

  • Why Can't Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock # PL8675 Be Ran to Trunk Release Circuit
  • The trunk lid release mechanism only works one direction. The reason you need to use a power lock and unlock circuit is that you want the tailgate handle to lock and unlock. The trunk lid only has one function which is to unlock. We always recommend going with the manufacturer recommended install instructions.

  • What Capacity for Electric Jack Would be Needed for 5,000 lb Trailer Jack
  • You are correct that trailer jacks weight ratings are not for lifting the entire trailer weight and only the tongue weight. So for a trailer that weighs 5,020 lbs when fully loaded you'd be looking at only lifting about 500 lbs or so. That would mean that a 4,000 lb rated jack like you mentioned would easily work well and have more than enough capacity. The Electric Jack part # EJ-3520-WBX that you referenced has a 3,500 lb capacity and would work great. It's a great economically priced...

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • That towing package might include other things like an alternate transmission cooler or other items including the wiring. That could explain why they say its for more heavy duty towing. To see if the brake output function reaches from under the dash to the connector at the rear one thing you can try is to run 12-volt power on the circuit in either direction. Then test the other end with a meter or test like such as # PTW2993. If it is connected all the way back, then that is one less...

  • Can You Buy Just Replacement Mounting Brackets For Aries Bull Bar AAB35-6001?
  • So to get the replacement mounting brackets for your Aries Bull Bar # AAB35-6001 you're installing on your 2009 Honda Ridgeline you're going to need to buy the whole bull bar as Aries stopped selling the brackets by themselves a while back. While I know it's not the news you were hoping for, its the only option.

  • Is Weight Distribution Needed for Towing a Rockwood Hard Side Pop-Up Camper
  • The first thing I would recommend is checking the owner's manual of your 2014 Honda Ridgeline Sport to see what it says about using a weight distribution hitch. In general, a WDH is recommended if your trailer weight is more than 50% of your vehicle's GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) or if you are experiencing rear sag and trailer sway. It looks like the curb weight of your Ridgeline is the 4,491 lbs you looked at, and the GVWR is 6,050 lbs. The dry weight for your camper is the completely...

  • Can I Carry An ATV Or Snowmobile On My Vehicle With Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System
  • I can definitely help determine if a Mad Ramp system is right for you, but I will need some information from you first. What type of ATV or snowmobile do you intend to transport? What vehicle will you be using to transport this item? Once I have this information, I will better able to help you.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for U-Haul 5x8 Cargo Trailer
  • The U-Haul 5x8 Cargo Trailer has a suggested coupler height of 18". Therefore, you'll want to take this measurement and subtract this from the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver on the vehicle. The difference between these measurements will be the rise/drop you need to look for in a ball mount. I recommend adjustable since you can use it on multiple trailers, the Flint Hill Goods Adj Tri-Ball Mount part # FHG92VR is a good option which can be adjusted to a 5-3/4"...

  • Weight Distribution for 2007 Honda Ridgeline and 3200 Pound Rockwood Freedom 2318G
  • If my calculations are correct or at least close then if the trailer is loaded to the maximum of 3,260 pounds and the tongue weight is roughly 11 percent of the gross trailer weight then at the max trailer weight the tongue weight would be around 570 pounds after adding in 200 pounds loaded behind the rear wheels of your 2007 Honda Ridgeline. So basically the tongue weight range is 263 to 570 pounds depending on if it and the vehicle are loaded or not. If the trailer is not loaded to the...
