When we towed our old Kiwi 17a with a Montana, there is no way I could have or would have without W/D. I'd be hard pressed to think that one could get away with towing a box with the Odyssey without a W/D hitch. Honda's official stance on using a W/D with an Odyssey is no. But I know that many are doing so.
As a contrast to many SUVs and 1/2 ton trucks, you are unlikely to run out of payload in the vehicle even with the trailer hitched up. My 07 Odyssey has 1,365 pounds of available payload per the yellow door sticker which isn't too shabby.
Are you referring to the Honda Odyssey in the payload contrast to many SUV's and 1/2 ton trucks?
From the 2013 Honda Odyssey owner's manual:
"? Weight distribution hitches
A weight distributing hitch is not recommended for use with your vehicle."
Honda must have changed their stance on WDH with the most recent Odyssey series (2011 to current I believe). My 07 manual requires it.
