  • Availability of Foot Pack for Inno Dual Angle Carrier for 2018 Acura MDX with Factory Side Rails
  • I do have a solution for you to use the Inno Gravity Ski and Snowboard Carrier # INA951 on your 2018 Acura MDX but Inno doesn't have a fit kit that allows you to mount the (discontinued) Inno Dual Angle Ski and Snowboard Carrier INTX726 on your vehicle. For the Inno Gravity you need a roof rack. I recommend going with the Yakima CoreBar roof rack because it gives you the high-end aero-style crossbars but they are at a lower price-point than the aluminum crossbars. For this you need the...

  • Recommended Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Hitch on 2018 Acura MDX
  • I recommend looking at the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches # SR25219, which is going to give you the security you need and does a great job at eliminating rattle on hitch mounted accessories. There really isn't an inconspicuous locking hitch pin, but the black lock body on this pin does a fairly good job of blending in with your hitch. I've linked a review video of this locking hitch pin for you to check out.

  • Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Acura RDX w/ an 18 Inch Spare Tire
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 76268 does fit your 2022 Acura RDX. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Acura with included hardware. Since you have the 18' spare tire you will have no problems with this hitch. The issue comes from the RDX's with the larger spare tires. Yours will fit neatly back where it sits now once the hitch is installed.

  • Parts Needed to Install a P3 Trailer Brake Controller in a 2014 Acura MDX with Factory 7-Way
  • If any harness is going to work, it is the # 3070-P, since it fits the 2014 Honda Pilot which is the Honda cousin of the MDX. But it has not been officially confirmed to fit the MDX so I cannot guarantee that it will fit. I recommend hardwiring in a controller using wiring kit # 5506. You would remove the wire in the 7 oclock position attached to the back of the factory 7-Way. You would then install the wire included with # 5506 in its spot (the included wire actually has 2 wires in it,...

  • What Trailer Wiring Harness do I Need for a 1991 Acura Integra
  • There are no plug-in style trailer wiring harnesses for the 1991 Acura Integra. To wire your vehicle for towing, you would need to hardwire the connector into the existing lighting circuits. We offer a Taillight Converter with 4 pole Connector, which also includes an installation kit. The part number for this kit is part # 119178KIT. The converter would attach to the existing tail light circuits in your Integra. The easiest place to access this wiring would be behind the taillight assemblies....

  • Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for a 2022 Acura MDX
  • I have a great hitch for your 2022 Acura MDX. You'll want the etrailer Hitch Receiver item # e27KR. This is a custom fit hitch that bolts directly to your Acura with included hardware and requires no drilling or welding. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with...

  • Determining Size of Bearing Protector Needed for 2001 Load Rite Trailer
  • The best way to determine the size of bearing buddy needed would be to take a highly accurate measurement of your hub bore using a digital caliper. I have edited a photo for you that shows this dimension. If you happened to know the reference number from your outer wheel bearings, the proper bearing protector could be determined. If you would care to reply with either the hub bore dimension or the outer bearing number, I would be happy to suggest a bearing protector for you.

  • Comparing RockyMounts MonoRail to Yakima Fullback 2 for 2019 Acura RDX without Hitch
  • You're correct that the Fullback 2 and MonoRail are both very highly recommended and are very high quality bike racks; I've recommended both of these to our neighbors depending on their particular vehicle and needs. With that said, the Yakima Fullback 2 # Y02633 and RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10003 are two different types of rack in that one is a trunk mounted rack and the other is a hitch mounted rack; they're not really comparable since a trunk mounted rack is typically only used when...

  • Parts Needed For Hauling a TAB 320 Trailer With a 2016 Acura RDX
  • First I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784 for your 2016 Acura RDX. This class III receiver is rated for up to 400lbs of tongue weight and a towing capacity up to 4,000lbs. Be sure to verify maximum towing capacity with your Acura dealer. The receiver has a mounting tab for the 7-way connector so you will not need to drill holes in your fascia. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118569 is needed to control the lighting for the trailer. This will connect directly...

  • Bike Rack Needed to Transport a Recumbent Trike
  • I do have a few options for you to carry a recumbent trike on your SUV. The first option would be to use the SeaSucker Roof Bike Rack for Trikes # 298-BD1005. You will simply need to place the Vacuum Cups in the appropriate places on your roof and pump them up until the orange band disappears. This has a 45 lbs weight capacity. Another option would be to use the Yakima Boa Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02065 on your roof rack. For this to be compatible with your trike you will also need...

  • Recommended Replacement 7-Way Mounting Bracket for a 2013 Acura MDX
  • We aren't going to have an exact OEM replacement, however you could just use the Hopkins Universal Mounting Bracket for 7-Way and 6-Way Trailer Connectors # HM48625 which is a universal bracket that'll work just the same. This bracket measures 3 3/8" across, 3 7/8" tall and the mounting holes on the top of the bracket are 2 1/4" center to center.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations For A 2021 Acura RDX
  • When it comes to using a hitch adapter to make your 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch it does decrease the tongue weight by 50%. The only way you could use The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2 inch Hitches # Y34VR would be to switch to a 2 inch trailer hitch like The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C95CR. The trailer hitch has a gross trailer towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and a gross tongue weight up to 350 pounds. I would check your...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 3,200 Pound Travel Trailer with a 2004 Acura MDX
  • I looked at an online copy of the owners manual for a 2004 Acura MDX and when properly equipped and with the right amount of passengers in the vehicle it can tow a 3,200 pound travel trailer. Staring with the trailer hitch, you can use # 13328 that you have selected. 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. Trailer wiring we will get to but first, the owners manual states that you also need a transmission...

  • How to Install the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack on a 2012 Acura MDX
  • The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, does not require the glass hatch hooks like Yakima's older bike rack models. Instead, the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode. To install the top straps in anchor mode, you will want to run the strap through the slot in the hook and then install the strap into the bike rack. This process is outlined in the included instructions on page 4. Please note, the headliner can become deformed or damaged under prolonged contact with...

  • Will My Spare Tire for My 2022 Acura MDX Fit w/ The Curt Hitch item # C13146?
  • I have a solution for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13146 does not fit the 2022 Acura MDX it fits the previous model years. For your 2022 MDX you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C22HR. This hitch receiver is custom fit and designed specifically for your vehicle. Which means, you will have no issues with your 20" diameter compact mini donut. It is a class III hitch and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs.

  • Recommended Hitch and Towing Components for 2004 Acura TL
  • It sounds like you are looking for a trailer hitch and related towing parts to pull a trailer with your 2004 Acura TL. We do offer light-duty Class I hitches for your car and all can be seen on the linked page. The one I suggest for the best appearance on the car (in other words the hitch that will be least visible) is the Curt # 11321. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is part # C45521, and with it you can use either 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # A-80 or 2-inch ball # A-82. For...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Utility Trailer with 2010 Acura RDX
  • We have just what you need, but there is not a Class II hitch for your 2010 Acura RDX; instead there are Class III hitches with 2" receivers that are rated higher than a Class II, so they're well suited for your needs. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75784 which installs without any drilling required and will have a little bit better ground clearance than the Curt # C13154 that is also a confirmed fit for your RDX. For the...

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and...

  • Prodigy RF Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Acura MDX with Factory 7-Way Wiring
  • In your 2015 Acura MDX with a factory-installed 7-way wiring setup the best trailer brake controller to use is the Curt Echo # C51180. You will not have to crawl under the dash to find a connector (there isn't one on this vehicle) since the Echo offers wireless operation and simply plugs into the the Acura's existing 7-Way. The controller then gets paired to your smart phone and this is what is used to adjust any settings or activate the manual override. Otherwise the Echo will automatically...
