Nice looking vehicle!
I'll let Ray do the torque and weight numbers when he logs in, but I think he will tell you that you are kinda marginal in some of your numbers. Part of it depends on what you mean by "mountains". Where do you expect to be towing? The Blue Ridge or the Smokies are a lot different from the Rockies or the Sierras.
Much of the info you need is not Ridgeline-specific, so it would pay to read what is already posted. And it shortens the task for Ray, who is a very busy guy. Have you read the towing-related articles in the TM Reference Library (TM Info You Won't Find Anywhere Else)? Do so - Ray just posted a couple very good ones.
On the question of WDH - YES, YOU NEED IT!
On the question of sway control - ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT, provided that you load the TM as it was meant to be loaded - substantial weight in the front.
