For a trailer that's less than 3500 lbs loaded, and not excessively high nor wide, the Ridgeline would be a fine tug. I towed trailers in the 2700-3500 lb range for more than 140,000 miles with an '08 Toyota Highlander. Unibody design is not a limiting factor. The low center of gravity and carlike handling of such vehicles makes them more capable in avoidance maneuvers and less likely to tip/roll when the brown stuff hits the fan. Of course if you want to tow a 6000 lb TT you ought to have a half-ton pickup (or more), just as towing a 30' behemoth puts you into 3/4 to 1 ton pickup range. But that doesn't make the half-ton a POS, right? Well, neither is the Ridgeline a POS just because it won't tow your trailer.
