The passport can be towed with four wheels down as per the owner’s manual. I think it says to run the engine every six hours or something to lubricate the automatic transmission.

The ridgeline pickup has the same drive train but it cannot be towed because it has a unibody and the body is not designed to take the stress of pulling it by the front of the vehicle.


Remco is the best resource on which vehicles can be towed and how.

No, Not SO!!!!!!!
The Passport was made by Isuzu.
The Ridgeline is a genuine Honda which has a beefier version of the drivetrain used in the Pilot and MDX. Jim G. - RTS-II

The Ridgeline is a Honda Pilot with the roof hacked off to make an abortion that is essentially useless as a pickup or an SUV. The Passport, as Jim said, is an Isuzu Rodeo. Some of them cannot be flat-towed, but I'm not sure which ones offhand.
