Pulling any trailer at 75 mph is just a dumb idea. Great way to overheat a transmission that wasn't really designed for towing. Is the transmission fluid color brawn or black now. If it is get it changed.

yes the honda odysey is rated for towing at 3500 lbs, has a professionaly installed transmission oil cooler and has rear air bags for stability. did a flush about 5000 miles ago a redish brown color, now it is light black and burn smell still shifts good no slippage and a little drag when you let off the gas
