Salty · Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 12:56 pm Post subject:

Salty is towed behind a Honda Ridgeline. The Ridgeline has four wheel drive and big brakes. The trailer is a tandem axle aluminum trailer with four wheel disc brakes. The Ridgeline towes my 22 cruiser so smoothly I sometimes forget the boat is behind the vehicle. The combination of outstanding brakes on the tow vehicle and four wheel discs on the trailer gives excellent stopping power. Honda has the gears figured out right on the Ridgeline and it hauls the boat up hills with no problem. Whatever you decide make sure you put disc brakes on your trailer. In my experience drum brakes are a nightmare and rarely work well for very long before the ever forming rust wins!
