Towing with the Odyssey
The Odyssey is a great towing vehicle, mainly because its such a good all-around useful car. We upgraded to the Ody from the Element for the 3,500# towing limit, which allowed us to upgrade our trailer from a 13" Scamp to a 17' Casita, both being fiberglass and "low" weight.
The minor downside is the outrageous amount Honda charges for their hitch, transmission cooler, and power steering cooler package. Dealers seem to charge about $1,200 for this - I got it for $750 as part of my purchase negotiation - basically what I would pay for the parts from a discount dealer, like HandA. Of course, you can also go the after market route and save more money.
