How does the Ridgeline tow?

We have a 2009 Pilot and if you are talking about the old Ridgeline , it has the same drivetrain as ours . The problem with these vehicles is a lack of torque in the low RPM range .Even towing a lightweight trailer like a T@B , going up any hill causes multiple downshifts and high revs and bad mileage .No hills no problem .The newer models should be better , direct injection drops the peak torque down 1000 rpm's .
