I have the 3,500 tow package. I installed the OEM setup myself. I tow a 2,500 SeaRay 180, and it should be ok for now. I would like to add the trans cooler if this vehicle works out. I pulled my boat with a 2005 Odyssey for 8 years without any trouble, and no trans cooler. I moved up to the 2015 MDX SHAWD due to the van having 150,000 miles on it, and wanted to upgrade. So, I took the boat out last weekend for the first time this year with the MDX. Bottom line, I miss my Odyssey. I had a more stable ride, pulling performance the same, and visibility better with the Odyssey.
My question. Is Sport mode the best for towing? Otherwise,I feel that it is always bogging down, and gas pedal travel long before I get acceleration. Do I need to de-select anything during towing? The manual says nothing.
Thanks,
Rick
