Expert Reply:

I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2003 Honda Odyssey and found that the maximum trailer weight for an Odyssey that has no more than 2 passengers weighing 150 lbs each is 3,500 lbs. With more passengers the trailer capacity goes down; you can see this on page 275 of the manual.

Additionally, that weight will require you to have a transmission cooler such as the Derale # D13503 according to the manual. You are also going to need a trailer hitch, and I recommend part # e98862.

For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118336.
