Bought mine used and had the ATF flushed at 130,000 miles...am now a believer in

Mine came with a U-Haul receiver (1.25"). Brother's Odyssey has the 2" receiver

Also, I like to drive HARD, so the fronts must be aired up to max sidewall.
They wear out the outer tread rib if not up to max. Ditto buddies T&C's
