Question:
I have a 2004 Honda Odyssey van that I would like to flat tow. I keep hearing conflicting opinions about doing this. Are you able to set me straight as to whether or not this is possible ? Thank you in advance for your time.

Looks like the official answer to that question is no according to Honda and the owners manual of your 2004 Honda Odyssey. We do have a base plate kit that fits the vehicle with the part # 1546-1 and are aware that some people do flat tow the vehicle without issues.
