The most concealed trailer hitch we have for your 2007 Honda Ridgeline is the Curt hitch part # 13385 which only will have the hitch opening visible underneath the rear bumper. See attached picture to see what it looks like installed.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118400 as the Tekonsha brand it the most reliable option we carry.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
