Expert Answers about Acura TLX


  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack For A 2017 Acura TLX
  • The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style # TH910XT actually is not a fit for your 2017 Acura TLX, unfortunately, however I do still have another option for you! Instead, I recommend checking out the: -Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rac # Y02634. This bike rack has the same 2 bike capacity as the Thule Passage, with a maximum capacity of 35-lbs per bike, and also has an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to fit the shape of your trunk or hatch. Included are...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Acura TLX
  • The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2015 Acura TLX is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118697 which is a direct plug-in-play fit with no splicing required. This kit provides a standard 4-way flat which is most common and widely used. It plugs in behind the tail lights and then you must run a power wire up to the battery but aside from this it's an easy install. If you don't already have a trailer hitch picked out I recommend the Curt...

  • Will Curt Trailer Wiring for a 2015 Acura TLX Short Out
  • The only people that have problems with the Curt trailer wiring part # C56496 burning out are the ones who do not properly secure the converter box. If the box comes loose and starts banging around it will eventually burn out. Aside from that it is an excellent option that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. We don't have any confirmed fit T-connector style harnesses for your vehicle so I am not sure if they have your vehicle confused with a different one like a regular TL.

  • Does Curt Class I Hitch C11535 Require Drilling for Installation on 2015 Acura TLX
  • The Curt Class I hitch you referenced, part # C11535, does NOT require you to do any drilling for installation on your 2015 Acura TLX. You will need to temporarily lower the exhaust for easier access to the frame's mounting points; all that is required for this is slipping off the rubber hangers that support the exhaust. You'll also do a little bit of trimming on the heat shield. The hitch includes all required hardware for bolt-on installation. The manufacturer's written instructions...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2015 Acura TLX For Bike Rack to Carry Ebikes
  • There are two hitches for your 2015 Acura TLX, though they are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4" receiver; there are no 2" hitches made for this vehicle. So you can add one of these hitches, but would need a Class I compatible bike rack, and there is a single option available for that which has the needed capacity for heavy ebikes. First, here are the two hitches that fit your '15 Acura TLX - Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24942 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11535 While...

  • Curt Manufacturing offers a Class I hitch that will work perfectly for your 2015 Acura TLX, part # C11535. If you're using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or cargo carrier, be aware that Curt's warranty requirements specify that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 needs to be used to provide extra support. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing purposes, you might also need the following to complete your towing set-up: Trailer wiring harness, part # C56269 Ball...

  • Weight of Kuat Transfer and Thule T2 Classic
  • The Kuat Transfer part # KU74FR weighs 47 lbs. The Thule T2 Classic # TH9044-TH9046 weighs 50 lbs when set up to carry 2 bikes and 85 lbs when set up to carry 4 bikes. The Kuat Transfer is a great bike rack. It is really selling well for us because of it's relative light weight and the fact that it only touches the bike at the tires. It's a bit more stripped down that the other racks but that's part of why it weighs less. Only real downside is that it has a lower weight capacity at 40...

  • What is Weight Capacity for Carrying Bikes on a 2016 Acura TLX Using Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 24942
  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24942 for your 2016 Acura TLX has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. So for the hitch the most a bike rack and bikes can weigh is 200 pounds. The vehicle owner's manual does not list a tongue weight capacity since it was not meant to tow a trailer so go by the 200 pound limit on the hitch. The trailer hitches for your TLX are Class I hitches. You have to make sure the bike rack is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are...

  • 2021 Acura TLX Trailer Hitch Fitment and Installation Difficulty
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT68GR doesn't have any reviews as of yet (February 2022) since it's a newer trailer hitch, but according to Draw-Tite their hitch should take an experienced installer about 60 minutes to install on your 2021 Acura TLX. If you aren't experienced that time will be increased. I would say 60 minutes is about average time when it comes to hitches. They aren't super difficult to install, they just have a number of steps is all. Attached is a...

  • Can a 2020 Acura TLX Be Dolly Towed
  • The 2020 Acura TLX can be dolly towed if it's FWD. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045 which has a foldable tongue for easy storage. It also has surge brakes so there's no need for a brake controller.

  • How to Determine Correct Hub With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern for Trailer
  • I can tell you how to determine the correct hub for your trailer, and you should be able to get one with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, but it really depends on the spindle that is currently on the trailer. You do need to know the weight rating of your axle, as well as what bearings your current hub has. To do this, you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly...

  • Is There a Way to Transport a 225 lb Honda CRF150F Dirt Bike with a 2016 Acura TLX
  • Since both trailer hitches for your 2016 Acura TLX, Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942, have a 200 lb tongue weight, even if there was a carrier that fit the smaller 1-1/4" receiver the weight of both the carrier and your Honda CRF150F dirt bike would be well over that. This means that the only option for you to transport your dirt bike with that vehicle is by towing it with a trailer. Your owner's manual does state that towing may void your warranty but it is worth noting that you are...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24942 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD. The bumper is different than the one in our photo, so I've attached what we have. You bumper will have a better look simply because of the black trim to allow less contrast and a more hidden look. The Curt hitch 11409 has been replaced with the Curt # C11535 which will be far less hidden by design as you stated. Trimming will be required with...

  • Will a 1Up USA Quick Rack Fit Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 24942 on a 2018 Acura TLX
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24942 for your 2018 Acura TLX has a 1-1/4 inch receiver. This is a Class I hitch so a bike rack will need to be Class I rated. Looking at the 1Up Quick Rack they state it fits 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers but they do not mention if the 1-1/4 includes both Class I and Class II hitches or just Class II.
