Hah, I doubt that Honda is rated to pull the weight of the trailer, not to mention the boat.

I can't believe how level that Honda is sitting with the full weight of the trailer tongue not being supported with something else. If I put my 5,000lb trailer on my Yukon without weight distribution bars it sinks down way more than that. Impressive!

Not that the Honda by any means can pull it safely, but I would actually guess that the Honda has a better and more modern suspension setup than a Yukon, Burb or Tahoe. They are soft a heck.

If by "modern" you mean a car suspension vs a actual truck suspension meant to carry loads, than yeah, it's a "better" suspension.

Apples to kiwis comparison there.
