I decided on a pop up trailmanor. Its only because i researched the ridgeline that i commented.
I would love to own one but tow rating is too low. I ended up with the closest equivalent nissan frontier with short box (6100 pound tow rating). 17 feet long which i also love about ridgline. if you reasearch me you'll find i've been on this forum for quite awhile before this came up

Be careful with the Frontier. Although it has a high tow rating, it has a very low GCWR. The GCWR is what really tells you what you can tow and how much total weight the vehicle can handle. Tow ratings can be very deceptive when considered on their own. You must consider all of the vehicles ratings before you consider the tow rating. Too many people do it in reverse.
Put all the specs in this calculator and you may find that the Frontier falls short.
