A small truck is not the answer at all. Even if it can pull it just think about the engine at full power on a hill and close to that on a highway secondly think of stopping this trailer and lastly think about a blow out . Bottom line you need more truck.
The Ridgeline should be a good match for a trailer in the under 3500 lb GVWR. Stopping the trailer and a "blow out" are no more a concern for this combo than any other, including a big diesel pickup towing a 11K travel trailer. The trailer brakes stop the trailer, and a tire failure can affect any combination adversely. As far as power, I used to pull a 21' hybrid with a 160 hp Ford Aerostar, and it would pull passes at 50 and cruise easily at 65. The Ridgeline with an extra 280 hp should not break a sweat at all towing 3500 lbs.
