Odyssey vs Sienna
 

I'm gonna get either an almost new Sienna or Odyssey to tow a trailer to Mexico. It's a tough decision...any advice out there?

old post but: 1- how heavy is the trailer? I just did a review of me towing a 3500# camper. I would have no issues at 2500# and below. Above that I get a little concerned.
Scotty Kilmer (google Scotty Kilmore and whatever like mini vans, the 50+ year mechanic paid by no one) says Honda's have no good transmissions and Toyota Siennas will last forever. I bought a 2014 Odyssey because I change trans fluid and don't beat my cars and Toyotas are dated boring plain Jane vanilla interiors and the outside lacks design skill as well. They look weird and not very artistic from the outside. Then again Scotty claims they last forever. My goal is to buy a car that has the least likelihood of needing repair. That leaves me with Honda and Toyota. I just could not get attracted enough to buy the Sienna so I bought the Honda a 14 n 2013 (Dec) In either case they stopped publishing the factory shop manuals so check each Honda and Toyota to see how much they will charge you to access the online repair information if you work on your own cars some what. That subject tees me off. I cant buy a printed repair manual anymore since 2012.
