The maximum load for your vehicle is 1,340 lbs this includes passengers and cargo. To determine the cargo weight load limit you will want to take this number and subtract it from any weight and passengers weight in the vehicle. I was unable to determine the capacity of your factory roof rack but generally speaking roof rack systems aren't rated for over 165lbs.

To find a rooftop cargo carrier that is compatible with your factory roof rack system you will want to determine the center to center spread of the rails. We have test fitted several rooftop carriers on a 2012 Honda Odyssey; and since the 2015 Honda Odyssey and the 2012 are from the same generation, the roof top carriers that we have test fitted on the 2012 will most likely also fit the 2015.

The Thule Pulse Apline # TH613 Crossbar spread between 23 5/8" - 35 3/4" has been tested to fit the 2012 Honda Odyssey at out etrailer facility. This is a great enclosed carrier.

You might also take a look at the Thule Canyon, an open cargo carrier, # TH859XT. It works with a crossbar spread 20" - 37". Since this is a more generous spread than the Alpine so it is sure to work. It has an optional 20" extension in part # TH8591XT and optional locks for the # TH450400.

Based on these crossbar spread dimensions there are many other rooftop carriers that may be compatible with your vehicles factory rack. The best thing to ensure fitment of these rooftop cargo carriers to your factory rack on your 2015 is to measure. If you wanted to tell me the measurement you find and the load capacity you are looking for, I would be more than happy to make a specific recommendation for your needs.
