Expert Answers about Acura MDX


  • Can a 2017 Acura MDX or 2019 Honda Passport Tow a 2009 Jayco Jay Feather 19H
  • According to my research, the most well equipped 2017 Acura MDX (AWD with ATF Cooler) has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and the most well equipped 2019 Honda Passport (AWD with ATF Cooler) has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. The 2009 Jayco Jay Feather 19H that you are looking at has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,950 lbs therefore either vehicle will able to safely pull it.

  • Recommended Fork Mount Bike Rack For 24x62 etrailer Cargo Carrier e98872
  • There sure is! I recommend the Swagman Impakt Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On - 9 mm Quick-Release and 15 mm Thru-Axle Forks # S62FR and the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs for Bike Racks # SR54FR to secure the rear tires. We had a chance to install both of these products on the 24x62 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98872 and found them to be a great option to allow you to carry your bike and cargo on the carrier. I included videos for each of the products mentioned for...

  • Troubleshooting Function Issues With Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness # 118336
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118336 is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Acura MDX. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to troubleshoot. I recommend testing each function at the end of your 4-way connection. If they are working, then the issue is most likely with the ground wire on your trailers. If they are not working then you will want to test the individual functions on either side of the box. If the result is consistent,...

  • 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.

  • Can the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Carry a Bike with a 48 Wheelbase
  • Since the max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B is 47" your bike with a 48" wheelbase won't fit but I do have a different recommendation for you. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B is the next step up to the Sherpa 2.0 in regards to Kuat bike racks and it is compatible with your 48" wheelbase. The NV 2.0 Base also comes with bike and rack locks, is a wheel mount platform rack, and has the tilting/folding functions along with the anti-rattle knob at the front of the base assembly. The...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Acura MDX
  • The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Acura MDX is the etrailer hitch part # e98840 because it is a 2 inch hitch size with plenty of capacity, has a hidden crosstube so it will be less visible, and because it has a cool looking black matte finish. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring I recommend the T-One kit part # 118628 because it does not require any splicing to install and it has our most reliable converter box. I attached an install video for...

  • Recommended 4-Bike Rack for a 2022 Acura MDX
  • In order to carry bikes on a 2022 Acura MDX you will fist want to start with a trailer hitch and for this I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT42MR which is a direct bolt on fit. It has a class III rating with 2" receiver tube opening which means the lists of bike rack options is endless. I recommend checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which is one of our best selling bike racks due to the features it offers like an anti-rattle hitch bolt...

  • Recommendation on Tire Cable Chains for a 2016 Acura MDX with 245/55-R19 Tire Size
  • When deciding if to use tire cables or chains you must consult the owner's manual of your vehicle for any restrictions or limitations. Some manufacturers will outright state that the use of cables or chains my cause damage that could void your vehicle's warranty. Although a manufacturer might discourage the use of chains, you need to follow the chain laws of the state you will be traveling through during winter conditions. If you decide to use chains or cables, the Glacier Cable Snow Tire...

  • Is Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack Compatible With Women's Frame Bikes
  • Women's bikes mount to the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack part # HR200Z easily. The ratchet arm is adjustable so it will lock down onto the slanted frame tube of a step through frame (like on most women's bikes) in the photo I have attached. The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider utilizes the center ratcheting arm so it fits most bike frames so it is a great option. It also comes with the bike and hitch locks to protect your investments. If your bike does not have a top frame...

  • Hitch and Adjustable Ball Mount for 2016 Acura MDX
  • When we installed the etrailer hitch part # e98840 on a 2016 Acura MDX like yours we found there was a distance of 14-1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. So using the two dimension you mentioned you'd need a rise of 4 inches and 7 inches for your two trailers. The Curt adjustable ball mount # D900 would be a great choice to give you all ball sizes and the rise you'd need. Since you'd always have it in the rise position there would be no ground clearance issues.

  • Recommended 4-Bike Bike Rack That Can Easily Be Converted To 2-Bike Rack
  • We do have bike racks that convert from 4-bike racks to 2-bike racks, however, the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount part # SA4026F does not convert. You can certainly choose to carry between 1-4 bikes as needed. Unfortunatly, it cannot be broken down into a 2 bike carrier. There is a Saris SuperClamp 2 bike rack available with part # SA4025F. For a carrier that easily converts from a 2-bike rack to a 4-bike Rack , the Thule T2 Pro XTR 4 Bike Platform...

  • Will The Hands Free Lift Gate Operate With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2023 Acura MDX?
  • Yes, you will still be able to use your hands free lift gate with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR installed on your 2023 Acura MDX. The sensor is offset from the factory as they designed it to work with the factory receiver as well. I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 when you install the receiver. This is a custom fit wiring harness which will use the factory connectors to install on your 2023 Acura MDX.

  • Will K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors Fit a 2015 Acura MDX
  • We actual fit the K-Source universal towing mirrors, part # KS3990, on a 2017 Acura MDX which is the same generation as your 2015. There was a facelift to the MDX in 2017 but it didn't have anything to do with the mirrors as far as I can tell so the K-Source mirrors are going to fit your 2015 just like the 2017 in the video. I've linked the video to this page for you to check out.

  • 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack
  • The best hitch solution we offer for your 2019 Acura MDX is the etrailer hitch part # E98840 as it has plenty of capacity for your bike rack, is the least visible option, and has a very easy install. I attached a picture of it installed as well as an install video for more info for you to check out as well. For a bike rack I really like the Saris Superclamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback...

  • Transporting 2 Hobie Mirage Outbacks with 2011 Acura MDX
  • The Hobie Outback you have weighs in at 85 lbs so it would be harder to get onto the roof of a vehicle even if you had a roof rack and roof capacity that would accommodate 170 lbs of just kayaks. We don't carry any roof racks for your vehicle that would have enough weight capacity so best option is a kayak trailer like the Malone MegaSport Trailer with MegaWing Kayak Cradles # MPG550-M. You'll need a trailer hitch installed on your 2011 Acura MDX as well like the # 13354. For trailer wiring...
