towing a popup with 2008 Odyssey - assorted questions

Planning a big trip with my daughters family this summer. We tow a hybrid with an excursion.

She is looking at renting a pop-up to pull with her 2008 Honda Odyssey.

Probably picking up the trailer around Denver and using it throughout Colorado for two weeks.

The towing guide offers no details on the Odyssey- it just says "3500 lb" for all models and trim levels.

I know my way around towing and tow vehicles but this is new territory.

Is it likely to have wiring for a brake controller?


Does it tolerate operating at its limits?

Thanks
  • I don't know anything about towing with an Odyssey but are you seriously thinking about using a popup, in Colorado, in December??

    I doubt that vehicle comes with brake controller wiring why not call the local dealership service manager. I don't know if you towed popups before but those tiny tires blow out frequently, do not run them too fast. Also it can be tough to find one of those small tires too.
