Title: Would I be crazy if......
Post by: Moby on May 22, 2019, 03:11:01 pm
Would I be crazy if I attempted to tow my 2007 Honda Odyssey on a dolly?
Have towed my Passat at 3200 lbs and the Odyssey shows a curb weight of 4400 lbs.
No travels on western mountains but some in northeast.

In a word, YES, it would be crazy.

It would put you way over the rating for your U225 (230HP Cummins B and hydraulic Allison 4 speed).

If you have a Cummins B engine, it may not be ok. We have a Cummins C.

We tow 5,500 lb Jeep Grand 4-wheels on the ground, without adding dolly weight. We run all up mountains fine, maybe on big ones around 30mph. Down mountains is more important as up, one cannot go too slow, but down, one can go way too fast.

I figured as much but just needed confirmation.
Thanks all.
