I think you can fit a sheet of plywood in the back if necessary to haul one. That’s all I got.


I can confirm. I have 2012 Ody. I fit about 6 sheets of drywall when I was redoing a room. I could have loaded up more. But didn’t want to risk it. Now, I was pushed up the steering wheel.

My wife has her second one and overall it is a good vehicle especially if you have kids. Some issues with transmission shifting rough though.

I’ve flushed the tranny and replaced the solenoids and saw big differences. Solenoid replacements were dyi simple.

The wife insist that’s she wants a Honda Odyssey. Her friend has one, and I can’t talk her out of it.


So your wife is practical and you want to talk her into what, a silly SUV that costs twice as much for half the utility?

We haven’t bought a car in a while. I guess this is the current climate? Anyone know some that works at a Honda Dealership in Louisiana?


We bought one in 2000, and the list price was the price.

That's a mid-level XSE package. Also, the black wheels are only available on the FWD version. If you go to AWD, you get the 18" wheels from the Limited.

I use youtube for the instructions and info. “How to replace a (your part) on a (your year/make/model). There has always been multiple vids on everything I’ve done. Most will tell you the required tools. eBay motors, salvage yards or amazon for parts. Their prices are normally half or less than the big stores. I only use the chain stores if the prices are decent or I need a part immediately.

Depends on how big he is.

We drove both and picked the sienna due to the driver room and middle row room.

I'm 6'3" and 236. The Hinda driver seat area was kinda cramped.

Both great.

Get a KIA Carnival. Way bigger cargo space and better warranty, best in class tow rating. I love mine!

I can understand a truly off roading SUV for someone who does that, or a full size SUV for someone who uses it like a truck. But all those crossover or small SUVs just make no sense to me. Like nobody is impressed with your Rav4 and nobody thinks you aren’t a soccer mom just bc you drive an Explorer.

I followed the will cover method right before the pandemic hit and got a odyssey with the entertainment system with rhino liner trunk and couldn’t be happier. The minivan life chooses you


Only issue is the stop/start feature that you have to manually shut off but I have to do that in my fords too

They were unavailable for awhile during COVID and I don't think they've caught up with the demand yet.
