Parts Needed for Towing With 2003 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Can a 2003 Honda Odessey tow a 3500lb+ RV trailer? Has done 220,000km.
asked by: Jacques
Expert Reply:
I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2003 Honda Odyssey and found that the maximum trailer weight for an Odyssey that has no more than 2 passengers weighing 150 lbs each is 3,500 lbs. With more passengers the trailer capacity goes down; you can see this on page 275 of the manual.
Additionally, that weight will require you to have a transmission cooler such as the Derale # D13503 according to the manual. You are also going to need a trailer hitch, and I recommend part # e98862.
For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118336.
