You've been towing "this" for 4 years................so which Airstream is it?

Alumaholic : Great review of TV performance. The last trip we did our trailer was @ 4660Lbs. TV 6425 Lbs. 5.3 ltr.Chev. Was marginal out west. Now watching Ford ECO Boost reviews. If not Eco Boost another Ford?

Bill Fisher of Colleyville, TX. Towed his Airstream to the Balloon Fiesta with his new F-150 V-6 Eco Boost. The performance was astounding.

What rear view mirrors are you using on the Ridge? When we picked up our 22' Sport, had dealer put on extended mirrors. However, they strap on the front doors. While they work, the canvas straps down the doors are not very attractive. We'd like to have more permanent extended mirrors put on. Honda dealer here says Honda doesn't have them for the Ridge. Anyone else found a source that might work? We have a great car body guy who could probably put them on.

Thanks much.

I use the Tow-N-See mirrors from WalMart. Thankfully the Safari Sports are about a foot less in width than other models so it's a bit easier to see back there.
