- Yes, the Hitch Adapter # HTAD will work with your 2004 Acura TSX that has the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11455 mounted. You are correct that it will reduce your total tongue weight capacity by 50% giving you a maximum of 100lbs of tongue weight for your bike rack and bike.
I did notice that the Aventon Level Step-Through e-bike has fenders and the 1UP USA 2inch Super Duty Single platform bike rack uses wheel mounts to hold the e-bike in place. If your bike does have these...

- The first thing you need to flat tow your 2005 Acura MDX AWD is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # 1544-1 which is a confirmed fit.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.
For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers...

- Your only cargo carrying option for your cross-country trip include ABS plastic rooftop cargo boxes that can mount to your Yakima Q-Tower roof rack.
Many cars have a rooftop cargo weight capacity of about 100-lbs (but check your Acura RSX owner's manual to be sure!). The thing about a cargo box is that even empty smaller ones like the Yakima Skybox 12 # Y07334 can weigh upwards of 40 - 50-lbs. This means that you've potentially used up about half of your roof's weight capacity just for...

- The coolers that we carry are meant to be supplemental coolers. The factory cooler on many vehicles (with the exception of some trucks, SUVs, and vehicles with factory tow packages) is located inside the radiator. So to replace that cooler you would have to replace the radiator.
Using a cooler such as # D13503 on your 2002 Acura TL will provide additional cooling above and beyond what the factory cooler is capable of. The fluid will go from the transmission, to the factory cooler, then...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount Trailer Ball and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Acura MDX
- A standard 2 inch trailer ball would have a 1 inch diameter shank, like the # 63845 from Tow Ready.
You'll want to make sure that the ball mount you choose has the same diameter hole as the shank of the trailer ball. The rise or drop of the ball mount you need will depend on the coupler height of the trailer you're wanting to tow. I've linked you to an FAQ article that explains how to determine the rise/drop of ball mount you need. A standard length ball mount would work just fine.

- We do offer 3-bike trunk-mount racks that will fit on your 2001 Acura MDX and these can be seen by clicking on the link provided. The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV, which includes locks for the rack itself and for your 3 bikes, and which mounts using 4 vinyl-coated steel cables (instead of a half-dozen straps). A lower cost option is the Thule Gateway XT # TH78VR which is a more basic rack that does not include locks.
The trouble with trunk-mount racks is that...

- I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76268 for your 2019 Acura RDX. It is a class III, 2" receiver that bolts in place with the 4 included bolts and washers.
I have attached a picture of this hitch installed on an RDX that has that hitch panel installed as you mentioned that you have. It was sent in with a customer review stating that it was a perfect fit. It also does not appear that any trimming was required on the panel.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Hitches or Bike Racks have Threaded Shanks For Removing Movement
- Trailer hitches do not have threads in them. What did have threads was your Thule bike rack as that's been their standard anti-rattle device for their bike racks for several years. When you replace the bike rack that was damaged it's shank will have threads.
The Thule T2 part # TH69TX is a great example of a bike rack that has a threaded shank. If you check out the review video for the rack that I attached you'll see how that device is used and demonstrated.

- If you need a total of 57 inches of crossbar length then the 58 inches of bar length that the Malone rack part # MPG202 offers would work well for you. This is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Acura TSX wagon as well.
You should note that this roof rack has a capacity of 165 lbs and you'll need to also stay under the capacity of your vehicle that's listed in the owners manual.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring and Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for 2013 Acura MDX
- The best trailer wiring option we offer for your 2013 Acura MDX is the Tekonsha kit part # 118424 which is our most reliable option we carry. It will work well with the mounting bracket on the Draw Tite hitch part # 75614. You'll need to attach the mounting bracket # 18144 to that plate though to give the 4-way something feed through.
The recommended anti rattle device for the Draw Tite hitches that have the part # 63232 which also doubles as a hitch lock.
view full answer... - How to Gain Trailer Ground Clearance
- There are ways to increase ground clearance on a trailer, but you can't flip the shackles to do that.
You can do this by moving the axles from being above the leaf springs to below the leaf springs.
The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under...

- For your application I recommend using the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 for your bikes and then adding the HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier # Y02418 to carry your skis. The FullSwing features a swinging arm so that you can have unrestricted access to the rear hatch area of your MDX without removing your bikes or your skis.
To carry your bike with the step-thru frame you're going to need Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531. This attaches to your seat post and your handlebar upright...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation For 2014 Acura RDX
- Some manufacturers are more conservative in their approach to safety and will therefore insist that extra measures are taken when using their products.
We do offer a few hitches that are designed to fit your 2014 Acura RDX. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75784. This is a Class lll hitch and has a weight capacity of 400 lbs. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening.
The Curt hitch you referenced, part # C13130, is also a Class lll hitch and although...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 2016 Acura RDX
- Because the support strap you speak of would loop over the spoiler, there is a possibility that the weight applied to the strap could break the spoiler. Curt makes a great hitch, but I can't recommend them for every application because some vehicles aren't suited to using the strap (especially vehicles like your RDX that have the spoiler atop the hatch lid).
I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75784. Unlike the Curt hitch, Draw-Tite doesn't have a warranty stipulation...

- Without a key number there isn't a way unfortunately. It would be nice if they put the key number on the latch somewhere but they do not do that. You would need to replace the slam latch with part # BA57FR.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2014 Acura MDX
- We typically recommend going with the biggest cooler you can fit in front of the radiator of the vehicle. Commonly we recommend the # D13502 and # D13503 as they are decently sized and very efficient.
Either size should fit and work well for you. I attached an install video on a similar Honda vehicle to give you an idea what the install is like.

- Yes the 12 volt accessory circuit of a 7-way trailer wiring connector can keep a trailer house's battery topped off. Basically you'd run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 to the battery's positive battery post and you'd be set.

- The etrailer hitch part # e98840 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Acura MDX and will allow to keep your full size spare tire as long as it's an 18 inch wheel and not 19-20 inch. It will need to be temporarily lowered though to install the hitch.
