Scooting around town is probably no biggie in your neighborhood. Dragging it across the Mohave Desert mid-summer at 70mph could be another deal altogether.

The Ranger is probably fine no matter what. The Ridgeline I'm a little skeptical of. Mainly no experience with that one.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen but generally the walls interior walls are plywood. You don't want to touch the outer skin from the inside. 0.030 aluminum.

ditto on the roof. The arch shape is more for water runoff than anything.

There is a reason they build them like this

Even though mine is a Toyota Crewmax extended with 10,800 towing capacity.

We are going to Raleigh next week. I think I might go across a truck stop scale and get our gross weight.
