That can't be legal.

Probably is legal and only needs to be flagged or have a red lamp is extending more than 1.5 meters beyond the rear of the vehicle (section 16 of Alberta's vehicle equipment regulations) - still looks way to ghetto for me.

An avalanche is more of a real truck then this.

1. it's a half ton
2. has a v8
3. the box on an avalanche is bigger then a ridgeline, it also folds down into the back seats which gives you and extra 2.5 feet.

We had an avalanche as one of our work trucks last year and the thing was surprisingly useful.

Yupp, here we go - a real truck has to have a V8.

Many Avalanches are 2500 models. That's what makes them a real truck.

Not necessarily. A lot of real trucks come with 6 cylinders. But they're inline, not v's, and they don't come with spark plugs.

Only way to get 50/50 balance on a Honda?

QFT, 2500 are the rare models

Looks like one hell of a cantilever. Altho there isn't much weight there, it multiplies over the distance of the cantilever. Would have used a thicker plywood. Looks like the hss is already flexing..

I'm sure it's fine, ive done sketchier.

I didn't say it needs a v8 to be a real truck. I just listed a few reasons why an Avalanche is MORE of a real truck then a ridgeline. Typical douchebag trying to twist my words.

quarter ton v6 VS. half ton v8, hmmmmm I wonder which is more of a truck.

The one that actually hauls things is more of a truck. 4 cyl, v6, v8, v10, doesn't matter if you treat it like a princess.


This has a payload of 2200 lbs, thats more than a ton. And its unibody I6, so I guess its not much a truck?

To me it really isn't. I can't load down the box, hitch up a 16 foot trailer and go to work (safely anyways).

There's always going to be the exception to the rule and while this is more of a truck then may other quarter tons, MOST quarter tons are still not real trucks and are pretty much useless. Especially the ridgeline. Atleast rangers and dakotas have a normal box on them. When you need to flag an 8ft 2x4 then you're not driving a real truck, this goes for half tons too.

bingo. as well the total weight of the tongue load does not exceed 500lbs.

PS a truck has a solid rear axle and a longitudinally-mounted engine. check mate ridgeline.

Don't see an issue, all the weight of the sled is in the front which is fully in the box. The rear ends of most sleds are very light (you can usually pick them up)

[SoSlowDx]

I personally wouldn't do that! The ridgeline is an "urban truck" and yes, I own one.

I'm story but the max gvwr of the Comanche is 4616lbs, with a curb weight of 3141. So at best you could tow/carry is 1475lbs, if you ever put 2200lbs in the bed - it would fail like a ridgeline and end up with a spotted thread.
