Expert Answers about Acura RDX


  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Acura RDX for Thule Cargo Box
  • For your 2011 Acura RDX with a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Feet # RRRLKVA, and Custom Fit Kit # DK177 would be all that you would need to install a roof rack so that you can carry a cargo carrier. This would work well with Thule Cargo box you already own or with something like the Thule Pulse # TH615 which has 16 cubic feet of storage space.

  • How To Make Sure Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Acura RDX Advance Pkg Will Retain Use Of HFA Sensor
  • Since the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76268 you were looking at and all of the other trailer hitch receivers available for your 2021 Acura RDX with the Advance Package will more than likely block the hands free lift gate sensor your only option to guarantee the sensor will still work is using the sensor relocation kit offered by your local Acura dealer. I recommend going with the # 76268 which has a 350lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect...

  • Will the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack Fit Factory Trailer Hitch and 2018 Acura RDX
  • The Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR fits 1-1/4 and 2 inch trailer hitches. On the 2018 Acura RDX the factory or dealer hitch will be one of those 2 sizes. The key is to determine if there will be enough clearance between the back of the vehicle and the bike rack. If, on the vehicle, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the vehicle is less than 6 inches the rack will clear the back of the vehicle. On the aftermarket hitch # 75784 the distance...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Acura RDX
  • The three available wiring harnesses for your 2017 Acura RDX are designed specifically for your vehicle and will all install using the same existing ports located behind the driver side trim panel. These are nice, plug-in harnesses that will install quickly to provide your vehicle with a 4-Way connector to power the trailer's signal lights. I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118569. Tekonsha specializes in wiring/electrical products like this one and they...

  • Recommended 3-Bike Trunk Rack for 2010 Acura RDX and 2017 Hyundai Tucson
  • For both your 2010 Acura RDX and your 2017 Hyundai Tucson, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. I spoke with my contact at Hollywood Racks and he confirmed that this 3-bike rack will fit both of your vehicles. This is a really nice trunk-mounted rack that features a high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options that will work perfectly with the rear spoilers on your vehicles. It can handle 3 bikes of up to 35 pounds each and its foam pads will also...

  • Recommendation For Carrying Bikes On a 2024 Acura RDX Without Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I recommend adding the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack to your 2024 Acura RDX. For this you will need the Crossbars # TH711520, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH78RF. Then you will be able to add 2 Bike Racks # TH598004 to the roof of your Acura which are capable of carrying a bike up to 44lbs each. You can also secure the bikes by adding the Locks # TH450800 to both the roof rack and the bike racks.

  • Comparing Thule T2 and Kuat Sherpa for 2017 Acura RDX
  • Because the T2 Bike Rack part # TH23JV and the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G are so similar and the # SH22G is considerably lighter I think it would be the best choice for you. As long as you have a 2 inch hitch either of these racks would work well for you. Functionally the racks are basically the exact same and come with the same features, only advantage one has over the other is weight. That's where the # SH22G has the advantage. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. You'll...

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for the Ball Mount Platform of MaxxTow Ball Mount MT70067
  • What you could use as an anti-rattle device for the ball mount platform of the MaxxTow Adjustable Ball Mount MT70067 would be the SoftRide Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SR25219. You would just need to replace one of the pins with this. I attached a review video for this anti-rattle device. You could use another # SR25219 for the shank in the hitch, or you could use the # RM-061 that you referenced.

  • Do Yakima Roof Racks Fit 2023 Acura RDX
  • So we were able to determine that the 2023 Acura RDX wasn't changed from the 2022 model and we then carried over the fits from the previous year. Sometimes one of the rack manufacturers does this first and since we know they did the correct research we know that other brands will also carry over even if they haven't had a chance to test it like with the Yakima Corebar roof rack part numbers # Y00421 # Y64AR, and # Y49AR that we have listed for your 23' RDX.

  • Troubleshooting Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack LC298707 Not Leveling Trailer
  • I would be happy to help! The Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - Black Waterproof Switch Kit - 30" Lift # LC298707 you mentioned is not designed for leveling your 26' Grand Design Travel Trailer, and is only designed to be used to stabilize the trailer. You will first need to level the trailer using block similar to the Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks for Trailers and RVs - 8-1/4" Wide x 8-1/4" Long - Qty 8 # UF48-979052 to get the trailer level side to side, and then use the tongue...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Acura RDX
  • All of the Class III hitches we carry for the 2015 Acura RDX will be pretty low profile. Basically all you would see is the hitch opening right underneath you rear bumper. The most popular option we carry is the Curt hitch part # C13130. This hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight rating and a 4,000 lb total trailer weight rating so it should do a great job for towing your trailer. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with...

  • Is Additional Fuse Needed to Install Tekonsha Trailer Wiring in 2019 Acura RDX
  • Is it possible you didn't install the blue fuse that comes with the Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 118800 into the fuse holder that's on the power wire of the kit? Without this fuse installed no power would make it to the module. Worst case scenario if your vehicle does not have this circuit active you could route a wire from the vehicle's positive battery post to this wire and you'd have the harness active.

  • Recommended Roof Rack, Surfboard and Kayak Carrier for 2011 Acura RDX
  • The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero rack consisting of the # RRVA137B-2 crossbars, the # RRRLKVA foot pack and the # DK177 fit kit you mentioned would be an excellent choice for your RDX. This comes with plastic lock cores with universal keys, but can be upgraded to all metal locks for added security, # RRVA-LEC4. For your surfboards, I'd recommend the Thule # TH811XT board carrier, which can carry up to 2 boards. The molded foam base protects your boards from damage, and tie down straps are included. For...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working on a 2007 Acura RDX with Wiring Harness # 118500 Installed
  • First make sure that both the in line fuse (red) and the mini fuse (blue) are both installed. Otherwise the harness will not work. I know that the instructions say to install the fuse for the Honda Crosstour but it is also possible that it is needed on your RDX. Check the fuse location and determine if the fuse is missing or needs to be replaced. Also, make sure that the adapter you are using is grounded to the vehicle frame in a location that is bare metal. If cannot be grounded to a...

  • Replacement Hardware for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • To order the exact replacement hardware that was originally included with a trailer hitch receiver that we carry use part # RHK and select the manufacturer from the drop down menu and enter the part number of the hitch. You said you have a Draw-Tite but not the model number of the hitch you have. If you aren't sure let me know the year, make, and model of your vehicle and I'll find the correct model number. Also, a picture of the hitch might be helpful too.
