Who Wins

Trundle wins early trades at level 1-2 due to his Q's attack speed steroid and natural tankiness, but once you hit level 3 and have all three Q stages, you can start threatening him with full combos if you land the sweet spot knockup.
Pre-6, this lane is slightly Trundle-favored because his sustained DPS and healing from his passive outpace your damage if you miss Q sweet spots, so avoid extended trades unless you land the outer edge consistently.

Post-6, Trundle's R directly counters your R by stealing your resistances and reducing your effective healing, which significantly diminishes your ultimate's value in a prolonged duel — you do not simply win because you pressed R.
Your best window is to burst him down quickly within your R's initial burst before his R drains enough stats to flip the fight, but Trundle's raw durability makes this very difficult to execute reliably.

Your best trading pattern is to use E to reposition into a Q sweet spot, forcing Trundle to either take the knockup or back off, then follow with your second and third Q stages to maximize damage before he can sustain back.
Avoid letting him stick to you with his Q active, as his attack speed and healing will out-trade your omnivamp if the fight drags beyond your combo window.

Do not use your E purely as an escape tool — it is your primary means of angling Q sweet spots, and wasting charges defensively leaves you unable to land the knockup that makes your trades favorable.
Burning all three Q stages without hitting a single sweet spot against Trundle is a losing trade every time, as his passive sustain will recover the damage faster than your omnivamp compensates.
