  • Vehicle/Hitch Towing Capacity of 2010 Acura MDX
  • According to the owner's manual, your 2010 Acura MDX has a 5000 lb towing capacity with two occupants. The towing capacity decreases approximately 250 lbs for each additional occupant after two. As long as the as-towed weight of the trailer doesn't exceed the capacity of the vehicle or the hitch (whichever is less), you'll be fine. I'd also recommend looking at the capacity sticker on your current hitch, it's fairly common for a hitch to list two different capacities, one for towing,...

  • How High Above Crossbars Does Thule Motion XT L Cargo Box Sit
  • I can tell you the amount of height the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 will add when mounted, but I don't have a way to know the height from the roof to the top of your crossbars on a 2021 Acura RDX. So you'll need to take a quick measurement to get that, and when mounted, the Motion XT # TH629706 will add 15-1/2 inches of height from the top of your crossbars, according to Thule. So you'll just add 15-1/2 inches to whatever measurement you get from the roof to the top of...

  • Best 12-Inch Trailer Tires for Pop-Up Camper Trailer

The tire size 145/80-12 such as # AM31202 is just slightly smaller in overall diameter at 21.3-inches. In each of these tire sizes we offer several weight load ranges; I linked a page for all tire and wheel/tire products for each of the two sizes you referenced. Ideally you will select tires with a Load Range that provides some safety margin based on the trailer's GVWR. Trailer tires...

  • How to Determine Tongue Weight Capacity When Using a Dual Hitch Extender on a 2016 Acura MDX
  • What you will need to do is compare look at the Tongue Weight (TW) of the trailer hitch receiver that is installed on your 2016 Acura MDX. Using a Dual Hitch Extender, like the Malone # MPG544 will reduce the TW capacity of your hitch receiver by 50%. The TW rating for the Malone # MPG544 is 400 lbs which is a combination of both receivers. You will need to go by whichever capacity is lower. As an example; if you were to install the etrailer # e98840 hitch receiver (900 lbs TW) on your...

  • What Is Roof Rack Crossbar Spread On 2014 Acura MDX
  • Since your 2014 Acura MDX has fixed mounting points, the crossbar spread would be the same for all of the crossbar and roof racks you intend to install. The crossbar spread for your vehicle is 28.5 inches. The roof rack system I recommend for your MDX is the Thule WingBar system. For this system you would need to order 3 numbers. They are part # TH711420 (black) or # TH711400 (siliver), with parts # TH460R and # THKIT3132. I have attached a product review video you can check out.

  • Weight of Surco RV Bunk Ladder SP506B
  • The shipping weight of the Surco RV Bunk Ladder # SP506B is 7-lbs, so once you deduct the weight of the carton and packing materials you are looking at an actual net weight of about 5-1/2-lbs for the ladder itself. This light weight is a result of the ladder's aluminum construction which also provides freedom from any risk or corrosion.

  • Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch e98840 for 2017 Acura MDX Work for Boat Towing
  • The # e98840 etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver has a maximum gross towing weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 900 lbs. As long as the boat you are towing does not exceed these weights the hitch will not have any issues. If you are towing a larger boat, it is possible to increase the gross towing weight to 8,000 lbs by using weight distribution. I also recommend checking your vehicle owner's manual for its specific capacities. You will need to follow whichever capacity is lower, the hitch...

  • Crossbar Spread is the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the next crossbar. This is a measurement that is typically necessary when determining which crossbar-mounted accessories you can use. I have attached a diagram that shows this measurement. After measuring then you can verify fitment of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black # SR7018, which fits crossbar spreads of 23-5/8", 25-7/8", 27-7/8", and 29-7/8".

  • Hitch Height on 2009 Acura MDX and Ball Mount Compatibility
  • When we installed 2-inch Curt Class III hitch # 13354 on a 2009 MDX we found that the top of the receiver opening was indeed 17-inches above ground, although this can vary slightly from car to car depending on the amount of tread wear and factors like passenger and cargo weight. Since all tow vehicles will exhibit some degree of rear-end squat when a trailer is hitched to them, it is a good idea to have the starting height of the hitch ball on the MDX about 1-inch HIGHER than the top of...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2013 Acura RDX
  • To install a hitch, for a bike rack, on your 2013 Acura RDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. You'll want the 2" receiver because it will give you the most options for a bike rack and a higher capacity incase you are transporting heavier e-bikes. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR because the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper. This leaves...
