I'm picking up a new 05 (demo) Accord later on this week. 4cyl auto lx-g. I'd like to use it to tow a 600lb atv a few times a year to a location about

That would be working that 4 banger a little hard, I'de look at the owners manual, probably says 1000lbs is ok, but you have to take into account the rest of the weight the vehicle is carrying.
I would check as to the cost of the cooler, its probably cheaper than not having a vehicle to drive while the Accord is in the tranny shop.
