Derale adds Class information to try to make it easier to select the proper transmission cooler for a given vehicle. It is supposed to match the Class of the trailer hitch you have. But really, transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled so going with the largest cooler that will fit is the way to go.
The most popular option for a 2006 Honda Odyssey is a Class III cooler # D13502. It is 11 inches wide, 7-1/4 inches tall, and 7/8 inches deep. I have linked a video showing an installation on a 2014 Odyssey. Please note you do not necessary have to remove the front clip. We do that primarily to make it easier to film the process.
