Popup. Have an Odyssey and 3 (older) kids. Loaded up for a trip w/o a trailer it squats. They already sit low to the ground and ride like a dream but I would be hesitant to hook up a trailer for too long. Compared to our previous minivan (Chevy Venture)the Honda is a bit of a slug: smooth, broad powerband just not a lot of "pep".
The transmission shifts very smoothly, hardly can count the shifts unfortunately that means some gear overlap and heat, which is fine for a minivan but not a tow vehicle. If you do tow, even a popup, I would suggest having transmission and power steering coolers professionally installed and change the maint. schedule to much more frequently.
Enjoy and be safe!
