Finally took out our new to us 01 Coyote. Had a great time! Here's some pics of the setup.

I really like this, it looks to be long 25' or so? Is that a second door to a bathroom? It's almost like the Surveyor SP-234T. Which model Coyote is it?

it's a 2001 25C MS. I think it's 25 closed up, and looks (is) bigger once open. the second door is just a second door to the main trailer. the bathroom is in the middle. The thing I like best about it is you can have one adult couple on one side, and one on the other side, and not hear each other snoring. [emoticon]

It seems really big while using it, but pulls and stops nicely with my F150. (Much better than I thought it would)

How do you like the Ridgeline? I've been thinking about one for a while but don't know anyone with real world experience.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

we almost bought a Ridgeline for a new tow vehicle. but a couple of things nixed it.

one, the 5000lbs. tow capacity, meant we had no room to move up in the future. it limited us to a 19' or smaller trailer.
second, Honda's recommending to NOT use a WDH.
to me, that's insane if you can't and it really limits what you can tow.
it tells me that they don't really think of it as a capable tow vehicle.
at least, not for full-height trailers.

I was looking to tow my 3000 boat in the warmer months and my ATV trailer in the winter months. Though getting another full sized PU would be more versatile.

Being a small family ( me, wife and 8 yr old ) 5k lbs will work for quite some time for us.
Yeah I saw the not to use a WDH deal. Seeing how Ford and Chevy attach the hitch the same way as my Honda I didn't see any reason why not.
They're capable to a point and I feel like the V6 is more of a limiting factor than a 5k hitch. Most of the guys on the Ridgeline owners club use a WDH and pull 20+ foot trailers. Here's a link:

We've got two seasons on our Ridgeline towing a 21 foot Trail Cruiser (dry weight was 3200 pounds) with no weight distributing hitch. Love the Ridgeline.

Given the age of our kids, our next trailer will probably be smaller so we don't expect growth problems. Every now and then I wish for a little more torque, but the ride quality when hooked up or not is awesome.

We looked at full size, crew cab trucks and decided that was more than what we really needed.
