Can A Base Plate Kit Be Installed on a 2009 Honda Odyssey with Transmission Cooler for Flat Towing
Question:
Vehicle: 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L On the page for the BX2251 base plate, there is yellow-highlighted text which says, without tow package transmission cooler. I havent seen this anywhere else, including Blue Oxs own web site. Are you saying that it doesnt work with an Odyssey that has the Honda tow package with transmission cooler mine does, or something else? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The transmission cooler lines of the 2009 Honda Odyssey are somewhat in the way for installing a base plate kit we have found. I attached an install video though that shows the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2251 on a similar Odyssey that has a transmission cooler so it is possible.
If you fast forward to around the 21 minute mark of the video you can see that it has to be moved to install portions of the brackets.
