Question ?
Quote: "for me, 5000 is as high as I need since I will buy an ultralight TT/hybrid or light PUP"
Is the above weight or dollars ?

5,000 pound tow rating. I know it's more than I will need, but having a 3500 pound tow rating cuts it too close for me once I factor passengers (yes, I could lose some weight, but my kids will only gain weight for a few years), if we have a guest, our gear, etc. I had a PUP - 2004 Rockwood Forest River HW2516G - and I didn't feel comfortable towing it with the Odyssey. Even though I have one of those transmission cooler things added to my Odyssey, I still feel like hauling hasn't helped the transmission. It has 180,000 miles on it and for business reasons this is the year to buy a new car. Thanks!
