So guess I'll be looking for that big clunky Truck or the big SUV.
The danger of asking for other's experience with a certain vehicle is that what the person is really doing is trying to "rationalize" something that they (pretty well) know is dodgy (at best).

I can assure you that there are a lot of people that tow trailers of all sizes with the Honda Odyssey and plenty of other under rated vehicles. I doubt that one will give you a negative report. You may be able to tow for years with that vehicle and never have an issue. Then again........... it only takes one time that you can't stop that rig in time.
