There are lots of good "previously owned" units that become available on this site, on eBay, on
http://www.rvtrader.com/ on
http://www.rvusa.com/ and many other places. If you are having sticker shock on the new TMs, look up some of these units. There are also some folks on this site that are towing with a Ridgeline, so you might want to contact them and see what they have to say. It may not be the "ideal" tow vehicle, but they can tell you all about it. I understand that it is "doable". By BTW, Welcome to the forum! And you're definitely not "old". I wish I was only "Pushing 38!" That was over 22 years ago!
p.s. In fact there's a nice 2720SL on eBay right now:
