I've been researching this Honda Odyssey issue some and read in a friend's 2007 Odyssey owner's manual they recommend WDH for trailers over 1800#. Also, they deduct 150# per occupant over 1. So, if you're hauling the church choir you got nothing left.

I just towed my new 2720SL home with a Ford Ranger rated at 2600#. Other than sqatting real bad (no WDH) it pulled OK. Wouldn't recommend mountainous terrain, though. The newer Odysseys have 100 HP more than my Ranger so I think they would handle the 2720 pretty well with WDH and dealer installed transmission oil cooler.

I haven't read this anywhere but it seems to me you ought to get some kind of credit for the low wind drag of the TM.
