  • Will Inno Cargo Boxes Fit 2017 Acura MDX with OEM Crossbars
  • Based on the dimensions in your picture the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRM660BK that you referenced would fit but there might be some hatch interference as you are 1 inch short of having enough clearance. The Inno 320 part # IN94FR on the other hand would easily have hatch clearance but it has less cargo space at 9 cubic feet compared to 11.

  • Can You Open The Rear Hatch of Acura MDX With Yakima FrontLoader Y02103 Installed?
  • We have not had a chance to test the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mounted Bike Rack # Y02103 on a 2020 Acura MDX yet, but I would happy to help you figure out if you will be able to open the rear hatch with the rack installed. The # Y02103 is 56" long over all, so I recommend moving your front crossbar as far forward as possible and then measuring from the front of the crossbar to the closest edge of your hatch with it opened. Now depending on the wheel base of your bike your tire may extended...

  • Which GoPower Solar Panels for 2021 Forest River Rockwood Freedom Pop-Up Series 2318G
  • If your 2021 Rockwood Freedom has a GoPower plug already installed, then all you'll need is the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 90 Watt Solar Panel # 34282729 you were looking at. There won't be any additional parts needed to get this kit set up since this solar kit comes with both SAE and XLR plugs, as well as a cord that would allow you to connect directly to the battery. If you wanted to add a 30 foot long extension cord for your system, you can add part...

  • Using JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers With Angled Scissor Jacks
  • Since your scissor jacks are at a 45 degree angle, the best option is to add a support like an angle iron or unistrut for the braces of the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers # LC191025. Just make sure the support is properly bolted (or welded if you like) to the frame of your trailer.

  • How to Install and Wire a Brake Controller on a 2004 Acura MDX and Where to Run Wires
  • I would start by checking behind the kick panels in the foot wells. On both the driver side and passenger side there are plastic panels right by the door frame. Often times you can find wire harnesses here that feed into the engine compartment and you may be able to follow one of those through the firewall. Running the wire under the carpet would be a good way to run the wires, however, it would require quite a bit of extra work. The seats would have to be removed and the carpet would...

  • Feedback on if Liftgate Sensor is Removed on 2023 Acura MDX
  • Most customers have stated when installing a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR on their Acura MDX they have had to remove the liftgate sensor entirely. Not all have though, as some were able to relocate it, but the only specifics we have gotten are a customer who installed the # e27KR, removed the sensor bracket, and cleverly relocated it directly to the hitch (see photo below).

  • Hitch and Bike Rack with Locks for 2013 Acura TSX
  • The Curt hitch # C11085 is a fit for your 2013 Acura TSX Sportwagon and would be a great option to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. As far as a lock for a bike would go that is going to depend largely on the bike rack you pick. Most racks have specific locks that have to be used with them which sometimes are included but sometimes can be purchased separately. For example the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FR comes with a hitch lock but if you wanted to upgrade it to a lock setup...

  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Reducer to Use Bike Rack With 1-1/4 Inch Shank
  • There is one option for a hitch reducer for a 2 inch hitch that will allow you to use a bike rack with a 1-1/4 inch shank, which is from Brophy: - Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 This will stick out approximately 3 to 4 inches from the Curt hitch that fits your 2021 Acura RDX, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR. In regards to the 1-1/4" Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36114, it will fit a 2021 Acura RDX with a spare tire, but if the spare tire has a wheel...

  • How to Carry a Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack with a 2013 Acura MDX
  • Your only solution is going to be to carry the bikes on the roof of your 2013 Acura MDX and then carry a cargo carrier on the hitch at the rear of the vehicle. You can't use a different cargo carrier with the Hollywood Racks setup you mentioned. If you need a hitch you would want the Draw Tite part # 75614 which is a fit. This would allow you to carry the Curt # C18151 that you mentioned. For a bike rack confirmed to fit the factory bars of your vehicle the Yakima Frontloader part # Y02103...

  • Will Thule T2 Pro XTR Fit with Himiway Fat Tire e-Bike
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83JV is compatible with up to 5" bike tires. I'm not aware of a size larger than this so you can definitely use this rack for your Himiway e-Bike. The things you'll need to check are the weight and the fenders. If your bike has a front fender then we need to either remove those or look at a rack that clamps the frame instead of the front fender. The T2 Pro XTR can handle up to 60 lb bikes so you'll want to check the weight of your bike with...

  • Where is Fuse for Trailer Wiring Harness Used on 2008 Acura RDX Installed
  • The Tekonsha # 118569 trailer wiring harness you'd looked at isn't a fit for a 2008 Acura RDX, it fits the 2013-2018 model. For your 2008, you'd use either the Curt # 56008 or the Tekonsha # 118500. The 10A fuse included with the Tekonsha # 118500 or the Curt # 56008 installs in the inline fuse holder of the connector that plugs into the vehicle. The additional fuse included with the Tekonsha # 118500 isn't needed for the RDX installation, it's used if you're installing the harness on...

  • Do You Recommend a Class II or a Class III Hitch for a Bike Rack on My 2018 Acura RDX?
  • As far as installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75784 on your 2018 Acura RDX, it is not overkill for the purposes of of transporting a 2-bike platform rack. Also, since the # 75784 involves a concealed crosstube design exactly like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12083, you won't have any bulky eyesores associated with an exposed crosstube. Also, the 2-inch receiver opening has the benefit of being compatible...

  • Best 4.80-12 Trailer Tires For Highway Speed
  • Okay, let's go ahead and start with the best 4.80-12 trailer tires for highway speeds, and for that you want a radial tire because they run cooler and flex more than bias tires. The best option for this is a tire from Taskmaster: - Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C The # TT48012C has an 81 mph speed rating, the highest for this size tire, and is a load range C tire that has a 990 lb per-tire rating (so 1,980 lbs for two tires). As for a wheel and spacer, there really...

  • Eliminating Rear Suspension Sag of 2011 Acura MDX When Towing
  • The owner's manual of your 2011 Acura MDX states that 'A weight distributing hitch is not recommended for use with your vehicle, as an improperly adjusted weight distributing hitch may reduce handling, stability, and braking performance.' Given that, I'd use a different method of reducing the rear end sag. Air helper springs such as # AL60815 can be pressurized up to 35 psi when towing to add additional support to the rear suspension, and aired down to a minimum of 5 psi when not towing....

  • Hitch Lock for a Thule Vertex Bike Rack
  • When it comes to the Thule Vertex the only lock that is going to work is the Thule lock, # THSTL2. No locks from other brands, threaded or not, will fit. This is common for bike rack manufacturers in general and not just Thule.

  • Does Inno Square Bar Roof Rack Fit 2009 Acura MDX With Naked Roof
  • Yes, the Inno square bar roof rack will absolutely fit your 2009 Acura MDX with a naked roof You do need to purchase the legs separately, and everything you need for the complete Inno roof rack on your 2009 Acura MDX are the following: - Inno Square Crossbars # INB147 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSUT - Custom Fit Kit # INK590 Since these are square crossbars, I do recommend considering a wind fairing to help minimize the wind noise, with the correct one being the Inno Fairing...

  • Mounting An Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box On A Winnebago Travato
  • You're right that the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black # INBRA220R-BK is contoured to sit lower around past the crossbars. This is for a more aerodynamic shape to cause less drag. Because of the way this cargo box mounts and the unique setup of your Winnebago Travato's roof rack system you would have to use some sort of crossbars to mount to. We don't have anything that would fit that small of gap between your rails, but since you're open to modification you could just...
