The Ridgeline should be a good match for a trailer in the under 3500 lb GVWR.
The Ridgeline with an extra 280 hp should not break a sweat at all towing 3500 lbs.
As anyone who tows any full height trailer knows successful towing is not just about weight but also wind resistance which is significant at highway speeds. Most towing even small travel trailers would want to use weight distribution as well so one question is whether Honda approves of the use of WD for towing. Third, the primary limitation in almost all towing situations is the TV's payload capacity, or more correctly lack thereof. Having towed several full height trailers, including a 19' travel trailer which averaged ~ 4500 lbs loaded & ready to camp, with my 2012 Silverado 5.3L payload capacity was still easy to exceed.
