Expert Answers about Acura MDX
- Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Require Fascia Trimming on 2023 Acura MDX
- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR does require cutting a 4" x 3-1/2" portion of the fascia on your 2023 Acura MDX. For a hitch that does not require any fascia cutting use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR.

- The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System # TH7602-TH7603 # THKIT3132 is a fit for your 2017 Acura MDX. Since this is such a low-profile design the sunroof may come into contact with the crossbars. Sometimes the bars don't have the issue but the accessory clamping around the bar is what comes into contact. If your sunroof goes into your roof when it is open, you shouldn't have an issue but if it does go on top, you might want something with a little more clearance.

- At the price point of the Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR you won't find a better value than it. It has the features and ease of use like the more expensive racks but costs less. It also has a very narrow arm width of 12-3/8" which allows smaller bikes to fit easier. If this is not narrow enough, you can use the bike adapter bar # 64005 for your smallest bike.

This particular kit is designed to fit a coil spring that is 5-1/2" inside diameter and 5-1/2" tall. If you can provide me with the inside diameter and height of your coil springs I can help you find a kit that will fit.

- For your 2014 Acura MDX, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller features an easy to read LCD screen, performs continuous diagnostic checks, and will automatically level when mounted within a 360 degree vertical range. This is not a wireless brake controller, and it will need to be spliced into your vehicle's existing wiring. The universal pigtail that comes with the brake controller will need to be connected to your vehicle's stoplight switch...

The link provided will show you all cargo boxes that can directly mount to the typically wider crossbars on factory-installed roof racks. These include both metal baskets such as the Rhino-Rack # RMCB02 and plastic box types like the Thule Force Medium # TH6356B.

- With the Curt cargo carrier, # C18145, installed, you should not have any problems opening the rear hatch on your 2006 Acura MDX. To be certain, you can take some measurements. Measure from the top of the receiver opening up 5-1/2 inches, and then out 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole. This is where the nearest part of the carrier will be to the vehicle when installed. I have included some links on the Curt carrier for you.

- If your 2004 Acura MDX has a roof rack with crossbars that measure no wider than 3-1/8 and taller than 1-1/2 inches, the Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier you mentioned, part # S64720 will fit.
If there is not an existing roof rack on your MDX, one can be added by using the following parts:
Thule 58 Inch Load Bars, part # THLB58
Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Back, part # TH480
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # THKIT1548

view full answer... - Why is the Trailer Hitch from Acura Rated Higher than the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2008 Acura MDX
- The Acura hitch may be a higher rated trailer hitch than the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75614. The difference is a result of how the hitch is made, the gauge steel used, and where it attaches on the vehicle. Many times, we rate hitches based on how much the vehicle can tow, but this is not always the case. Based on how we define hitches here, both the Draw-Tite hitch and the Acura hitch would be considered Class III hitches (rated up to 6,000/600 pounds). I have included a link to an FAQ...

- For your 2011 Acura MDX, I would recommend installing a Class III 2 inch trailer hitch like the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13354. The class III trailer hitch will give you the highest towing capacity possible for your vehicle of 4,000 lbs and it is also compatible with a wider variety of hitch mounted accessories (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc.). I have attached the installation instructions as well as an installation video of this hitch on a 2011 Acura MDX.

view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay # TH45JV Fit 2012 Acura MDX
- Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted bike rack on the 2012 Acura MDX, due to the lack of an attachment point for the top straps that is strong enough to handle the weight of the bikes plus the rack.
Yakima, however, states that their FullBack 2 bike carrier, part # Y02634 will work on the MDX.
As one of the manufacturers does not recommend using a trunk mount rack, I would personally be leery of doing so.
I would recommend a hitch mounted rack. You could start with the the...

- Yes, the Thule Apex bike rack # TH9024XT will fit your 2011 Acura MDX. This rack will fit either 1-1/4 or 2 inch trailer hitches. If you need a hitch I recommend # 75614 which is a 2 inch hitch. I have linked videos on the hitch and bike rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide...

- The Thule Hitching Post Pro Folding/Tilting 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR that you referenced easily slips into any 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch hitch receiver. No professional assistance is needed. The Class III hitches offered for your Acura are the larger-capacity 2-inch size that have a substantial 400-lb tongue weight rating (tongue weight is downward force on the hitch) that should be plenty for your rack and 4 loaded bikes.
If your MDX does not have a hitch installed you can choose one of those...

- Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75599 used to be listed as a fit for a 2001 Acura MDX with a full-size spare tire. That has since changed.
The Curt trailer hitch, # 13328, is said to fit vehicles with the full sized spare tire. It is recommended to temporarily remove the spare to make the installation easier.
If you plan on doing some towing I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring...

- The additional blue wire from the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Adapter, # 20036, would splice into the reverse light circuit on your Acura MDX. The purpose of the fifth wire is to activate an electric lockout valve on a brake actuator to allow a trailer with surge brakes to back up without the brakes locking up.
If you have a trailer with electric brakes and you want to provide power to the electric brakes on the trailer, you will want to add a brake controller. The brake controller will...

- So long as your 2019 Acura MDX has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, you can use the HR1500, which is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR.
If your '19 MDX does not have a 2 inch receiver, what you will need in order to use that bike rack is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840.
view full answer... - Where Does the 4-Way of a 2012 Acura MDX Store When Not in Use
- In most situations it is preferred to have a 4-way connector on a vehicle that stores on the inside of the vehicle as that will protect it from potential damage and from developing corrosion. The wiring harness part # 118424 is designed to store on the inside of your 2012 Acura MDX and then when you need it you would be able to open the rear door and pull the harness out so that you can attach it to your trailer.
The only way you would be able to store it outside would be run it out the...
view full answer... - Shorter Cargo Box Recommendation for 2015 Acura MDX Than Thule Force XL For Hatch Clearance
- We have roof rack fits for your 2015 Acura MDX with flush rails, but they all use the same fixed mounting points that your factory rack would fit. That means you would have the same hatch clearance interference.
The best solution I have would be to go with a slightly shorter cargo box that wouldn't interfere. The Thule Force L part # TH6357B is right at 6 inches shorter and the Pulse M part # TH614 would be right at 10 inches shorter. These would be your best overall solutions.
view full answer... - Can FastWay Weight Distribution be Used on Foldaway Coupler with Surge Brakes
- I have spoken with one of my contacts at Fastway, and have been told that weight distribution can be used with a folding trailer coupler. I am assuming that you have a pole tongue trailer, so a pole tongue adapter would be necessary. The adapter would typically be installed approximately 30 inches to the rear of the coupler, if the hinged portion of the folding tongue would not interfere with the adapter, you should not have a problem.
