  • 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...

  • How To See If 2019 Acura RDX Has Plus 12v Power Provision Without Removing Interior Trim Panels
  • The expert reply you were looking at is correct. The only way to confirm if your 2019 Acura RDX has the plus 12 volt power provision is by removing the interior trim and seeing if the factory connector has one or two red wires. I can completely understand not wanting to do this just to see which harness will work, so I recommend just going with the Tekonsha # 118804 as it will work with or without this provision due to this harness requiring you to run a power wire to the positive post...

  • 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.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Acura RDX
  • No, the 2004 Acura MDX and 2015 Acura RDX require different trailer hitches. For the 2015 Acura RDX you can use Draw-tite trailer hitch # 75784. I have included a link to a video showing installation of this hitch for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop...

  • Recommended Floor Mats For 2013 Acura RDX
  • We have floor mats that are designed for the front, between the front seats and second seats, and the cargo area. We do not have a mat available to cover the entire back area when the seat is folded down. The front floor mats I recommend are WeatherTech, part # WT444711. These are custom molded to give you a perfect fit and keep dirt and debris off of your carpet. These are black and include the driver and passenger side. If you prefer tan floor mats you will want part # WT454711. For...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2008 Acura RDX
  • You have two options. First, you could use a suction-cup type carrier like # 298-BH1302 or # 298-BK1910-BK. The second option, and my recommendation, is to add a hitch like the Curt # 13536. Then you would have many choices of bike racks like the hanging rack by Thule, the Camber # TH9058. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you...

  • How to Install etrailer Trailer Hitch on a 2020 Acura RDX with Broken Internal Weld Nut
  • Thank you for your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR for your 2020 Acura RDX! I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're having installing the hardware. For your application you'll need to have a shop help you out with a solution because of the OEM internal weld nuts that the hardware connects to. You can have them either find a way to use matching nuts on the inside of the frame or they will need to weld the hitch to the frame of your vehicle. If your hitch installed...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Acura RDX
  • The only 3-bike trunk mount carrier that will fit your 2008 Acura RDX is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2021 Acura RDX with Flush Factory Rails
  • While the search bar is a great way to look up different products, if you're wanting something designed to fit your 2021 Acura RDX with the factory raised rails it's best to use our fitguide system to sort through the vast amount of choices. The Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbar TH7602B is not a fit for your vehicle but since you have the factory flush rails I recommend using the Yakima JetStream roof rack which consists of the following: 50" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425 SightLine Towers...

  • Will Installing Trailer Hitch With Higher Ratings Increase Towing Capacity Of 2017 Acura RDX?
  • When trying to determine what the towing capacity of your 2017 Acura RDX is, keep in mind that you will be limited to the lowest rated component, and no products will increase the towing capacity of your vehicle past the manufacturers ratings. I checked the owner's manual for your vehicle and you are correct that you are limited to 1500lbs towing capacity, and 150lbs tongue weight. Even though the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784 you were looking at has a 400lb tongue weight rating...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Acura RDX
  • For your 2019 Acura RDX we have a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening with part # 76268. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118804 which installs easily and is very reliable. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

  • Recommended Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2017 Acura RDX with Naked Roof
  • The difference between the Rhino Rack RS2500 and ROC25 system is just the legs/feet that hold the bars and the way they mount to the vehicle; the ROC25 system is a bit newer than the RS2500. I'll also add that both of these systems are only available with black bars, so that's why you're not seeing a silver bar system available on our site. For your 2017 Acura RDX, there is only a ROC25 system available for the naked roof with part # RR66GR. These are a great choice because the aerodynamic...

  • Fork Mount Roof Rack Bike Rack Recommendation for 135 mm and 150 mm Axles
  • Sounds like you are looking for a roof rack bike rack that will fit forks that are 135 mm and 150 mm axles. For that you would want the Kuat Trio part # TR02 with the adapter part # TRP15-150 for a 15 mm diameter 150 long axle and then part # TRP9 for a 9 mm diameter axle 135 mm long.

  • Solution For Carrying 2 Kayaks On A 2017 Acura RDX With Factory Crossbars
  • I contacted Rhino-Rack regarding their J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 and they were not able to confirm fitment with the factory roof rack on 2017 Acura RDX. It likely would fit your roof but I cannot guarantee it. Either way, I think a better option is the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # MPG114MD. This has a built-in ramp on the side which allows you to easily slide the kayak up and onto the J-style carrier. This is for one kayak so you...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch With 1-1/4 Inch Receiver for 2022 Acura RDX Carrying Kuat Sherpa 2.0
  • As of right now (December 2021) the 2022 Acura RDX only has Class III hitches with a 2" receiver available. That does not mean there won't be a hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, but for now none are confirmed to fit. There are, however, some steps you could take to minimize any play with a 2" receiver, which would also mean you get the advantages of a Class III hitch. If you get a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR you will have more options for other accessories should you...
