First of all, congrats on the new Ridgeline! Honda did a complete redesign for 2017 and it appears they nailed it!
As for your TM size question, there will be much debate on this subject
but I think a few questions to clarify may assist:
1. How many trips per year will you be towing?
2. How much gear do you plan on bringing?
3. What type of distances will you be traveling?
4. How many mountains/steep inclines will you be encountering?
If we were talking about a 3023 like mine this would be a different conversation, but IMHO unless you are constantly traveling through mountains on long trips completely weighted down with a ton of gear, your 2017 Ridgeline should be able to handle a 2720 with no issues.
Also, I found a review of your new Ridgeline which covers specifically it's towing capacity and it's abilities right at the 5,000 lbs towing limit:

One other note: If you do decide a 2720 is OK to tow, that will open up your search with a lot more TM's to consider; I have only seen a few 2619's on the market.
Congrats on the new truck and good luck in your TM search!
