Hello all, I have a 2007 Odyssey with ~165k miles, and I'm about to move cross country. I'm looking to determine if I can safely tow my motorcycle with the Odyssey.
  1. I don't know if I have the factory tow package with a transmission cooler - how can I tell? I do have a hitch on it from the previous owner - it is a Curt brand with a 3500 lb gross weight capacity: I don't know if this is the factory option or not
  2. I've got a ~650 lb motorcycle, and I'm looking to fill the van up and also tow the motorcycle with a standard U-haul motorcycle/utility trailer, which weighs ~1200lbs empty
Am I insane to consider this? Is it possible/safe? My main concern is the transmission; I can work to install an aftermarket cooler if it doesn't have one already before the move if that's possible, but I really don't want to cook the trans.
