Crossbar Spread is the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the next crossbar. This is a measurement that is typically necessary when determining which crossbar-mounted accessories you can use. I have attached a diagram that shows this measurement. After measuring then you can verify fitment of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black # SR7018, which fits crossbar spreads of 23-5/8", 25-7/8", 27-7/8", and 29-7/8".

According to the owner's manual, your 2010 Acura MDX has a 5000 lb towing capacity with two occupants. The towing capacity decreases approximately 250 lbs for each additional occupant after two.
As long as the as-towed weight of the trailer doesn't exceed the capacity of the vehicle or the hitch (whichever is less), you'll be fine.
I'd also recommend looking at the capacity sticker on your current hitch, it's fairly common for a hitch to list two different capacities, one for towing,... view full answer...
Since your 2014 Acura MDX has fixed mounting points, the crossbar spread would be the same for all of the crossbar and roof racks you intend to install.
The crossbar spread for your vehicle is 28.5 inches. The roof rack system I recommend for your MDX is the Thule WingBar system. For this system you would need to order 3 numbers. They are part # TH711420 (black) or # TH711400 (siliver), with parts # TH460R and # THKIT3132. I have attached a product review video you can check out. view full answer...
Timbren axle-less trailer suspensions like # ASR5200S01 and # ASR3500S05 can be bolted on to the trailer frame; welded-on installation is fine too. It's your choice.
Since the Gulfstream Visa M-19RSD single-axle travel trailer has a dry weight of 2832-lbs and is rated to sleep 5 persons I would expect its axle is rated for more than 3500-lbs. You want to ensure you replace the standard beam axle with a Timbren kit rated for the same weight capacity. Your OEM axle should have a plate or... view full answer...
You are correct. The 3 inches you measure is the standard hole spacing for A-frame mounted jacks. The description is describing the outer tube diameter and is not describing the slotted holes on the mounting plate.
The 3 inches you have for hole spacing would work well with this jack. view full answer...
Let's start with your questions about weight limits first. This rack has a weight limit of 165lbs. That limit is to be distributed across the rack. This rack does not divide the weight limits per foot or per bar. This 2016 Acura MDX Roof Rack by Rhino Rack will work on your vehicle. It consists of the
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit # DK400.
This rack clamps to the frame of your 2016 Acura MDX. The legs can be locked... view full answer...
The etrailer cargo carrier # e34FV does not have a speed limit/rating. So as long as you are going a reasonable speed for the conditions of the road it will be perfectly fine. The weight in the carrier does not matter either. I am probably supposed to tell you it can only go the "posted speed limit" haha. view full answer...
The Cargo Bag for Carpod Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # M2202 that you referenced would keep the contents of the bag dry under normal rain circumstances. As long as the flap that goes over the zipper is folded down over it the rain would deflect off of the bag and not make it's way inside the bag.
For added security I would recommend putting the cargo in a plastic bag if you know you will be driving in heavy rain. view full answer...
The Yakima HangOut # Y02638 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Acura MDX.
As for the straps, you are going to want to use all six with the Yakima HangOut # Y02638 to get the most secure fit on your Acura. The Yakima FullBack # Y02633, as you mentioned, only uses four straps, and there are a few other differences. The HangOut is going to require the use of Yakima Same Key System Core # Y07202, and added security measures such as the Security Strap # Y02623 (which secures the rack to your... view full answer...
Both the Curt # 13328 and Draw-Tite # 75599 are Class III hitches that have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity and 3,500 lb towing capacity. I also checked the owner's manual for a 2003 Acura MDX and it states that the maximum total trailer weight you can tow is 3,500 lbs with up to 3 passengers in the vehicle though it reduces with more passengers.
Because both hitches have the same capacities I recommend going with the Curt # 13328 because it will fit with a full-sized spare tire under... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Timbren and the Rear Suspension System, part # THROD2, has a weight capacity of 2000 lbs and will work on your 2004 Acura MDX as long as the tongue weight does not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle or trailer hitch. I assume the 1999 Key West boat trailer you have creates sag on the rear of your vehicle. I would recommend a weight distribution system over a rear suspension enhancement system in this situation.
I would recommend the Reese Trunnion... view full answer...
The # e98840 etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver has a maximum gross towing weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 900 lbs. As long as the boat you are towing does not exceed these weights the hitch will not have any issues. If you are towing a larger boat, it is possible to increase the gross towing weight to 8,000 lbs by using weight distribution. I also recommend checking your vehicle owner's manual for its specific capacities. You will need to follow whichever capacity is lower, the hitch... view full answer...
When we installed 2-inch Curt Class III hitch # 13354 on a 2009 MDX we found that the top of the receiver opening was indeed 17-inches above ground, although this can vary slightly from car to car depending on the amount of tread wear and factors like passenger and cargo weight.
Since all tow vehicles will exhibit some degree of rear-end squat when a trailer is hitched to them, it is a good idea to have the starting height of the hitch ball on the MDX about 1-inch HIGHER than the top of... view full answer...
To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer item # e27KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked an installation video below.

Here is the information that I can give you about the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK400 for your 2014 Acura MDX. The front crossbar is mounted 3-15/16" on center from the seam where the front door meets the rear door. If you can measure from the center of the door seam back to where your roof meets your rear hatch this measurement plus the 3-15/16" will give you your rear hatch measurement. Your crossbars will be spread 29-17/32" on center.

The shipping weight of the Surco RV Bunk Ladder # SP506B is 7-lbs, so once you deduct the weight of the carton and packing materials you are looking at an actual net weight of about 5-1/2-lbs for the ladder itself. This light weight is a result of the ladder's aluminum construction which also provides freedom from any risk or corrosion. view full answer...
The 2,000 pound weight capacity rating for Timbren helper springs # THROD2 is the amount of downward force the springs can handle. So that would be the tongue weight of the trailer plus anything loaded in the 2014 Acura MDX. view full answer...

What you will need to do is compare look at the Tongue Weight (TW) of the trailer hitch receiver that is installed on your 2016 Acura MDX. Using a Dual Hitch Extender, like the Malone # MPG544 will reduce the TW capacity of your hitch receiver by 50%. The TW rating for the Malone # MPG544 is 400 lbs which is a combination of both receivers. You will need to go by whichever capacity is lower.
As an example; if you were to install the etrailer # e98840 hitch receiver (900 lbs TW) on your... view full answer...
