Expert Answers about Acura MDX


  • Can I Open a 2017 Acura MDX Sunroof With Roof Rack
  • The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System # TH7602-TH7603 # THKIT3132 is a fit for your 2017 Acura MDX. Since this is such a low-profile design the sunroof may come into contact with the crossbars. Sometimes the bars don't have the issue but the accessory clamping around the bar is what comes into contact. If your sunroof goes into your roof when it is open, you shouldn't have an issue but if it does go on top, you might want something with a little more clearance. The Thule WingBar...

  • Rooftop Cargo Boxes to Fit Factory Roof Rack on 2014 Acura MDX

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # C18145 Fit a 2006 Acura MDX
  • With the Curt cargo carrier, # C18145, installed, you should not have any problems opening the rear hatch on your 2006 Acura MDX. To be certain, you can take some measurements. Measure from the top of the receiver opening up 5-1/2 inches, and then out 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole. This is where the nearest part of the carrier will be to the vehicle when installed. I have included some links on the Curt carrier for you. Given the position of the license plate holder on...

  • Will the Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier # S64720 Fit 2004 Acura MDX
  • If your 2004 Acura MDX has a roof rack with crossbars that measure no wider than 3-1/8 and taller than 1-1/2 inches, the Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier you mentioned, part # S64720 will fit. If there is not an existing roof rack on your MDX, one can be added by using the following parts: Thule 58 Inch Load Bars, part # THLB58 Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Back, part # TH480 Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # THKIT1548 I have provided links to the installation instructions for the Swagman Bike...

  • Will the Thule OutWay # TH45JV Fit 2012 Acura MDX
  • Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted bike rack on the 2012 Acura MDX, due to the lack of an attachment point for the top straps that is strong enough to handle the weight of the bikes plus the rack. Yakima, however, states that their FullBack 2 bike carrier, part # Y02634 will work on the MDX. As one of the manufacturers does not recommend using a trunk mount rack, I would personally be leery of doing so. I would recommend a hitch mounted rack. You could start with the the...

  • Will the Thule Apex Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Acura MDX
  • Yes, the Thule Apex bike rack # TH9024XT will fit your 2011 Acura MDX. This rack will fit either 1-1/4 or 2 inch trailer hitches. If you need a hitch I recommend # 75614 which is a 2 inch hitch. I have linked videos on the hitch and bike rack for you. 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 to carry those bikes more level and will provide...

If your '19 MDX does not have a 2 inch receiver, what you will need in order to use that bike rack is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840.

  • Will Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH614 Fit Factory Roof Crossbars on 2008 Acura MDX
  • The Thule rooftop cargo box you referenced, their 14-cubic-foot Pulse Medium, part # TH614, will directly fit the factory roof crossbars on your 2008 Acura MDX without the need for any additional components. The Pulse M also will not interfere with the opening of your rear hatch. I have linked an installation video for your reference. Although Thule does not formally test-fit their cargo boxes for antenna clearance you should not experience any disruption to your satellite navigation...

  • Swagman XC Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit for 2015 Acura MDX
  • If you have a trailer hitch on your 2015 Acura MDX, like the etrailer # e98840, the Swagman XC 2 Bike Rack # S64650 will work well for you. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you. This bike rack will work with 2 inch hitches or 1-1/4 inch hitches. If you would like a locking device, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031. I have also attached a review video of this lock and cable system for you.

  • Will a Trailer Hitch By Itself Set Off Backup Sensors on a 2009 Acura MDX
  • The backup sensors on your 2009 Acura MDX would not be able to detect Curt trailer hitch # 13354 once it is installed. The face of the receiver will be slightly recessed from the furthest part of the back bumper as shown in the picture I have included. The sensors are more rear facing than downward facing so it will not be a problem. You can test it if you want by placing something in the approximate area the receiver will be and then placing the vehicle in reverse. Be sure nothing else...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Acura MDX That Works with Full Size Spare Tire
  • I do have options for you but none of the trailer hitch options for a 2022 Acura MDX will work on models with a full size spare tire. Therefore, I recommend swapping out the full size spare tire for a smaller size so you can install a trailer hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e27KR which is what I recommend. This trailer hitch features a simple bolt-on install with no drilling required. It has a 2" opening which is great for towing or other hitch mounted accessories. If...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit on 2017 Acura MDX
  • We can get your 2017 Acura MDX with a naked roof set up with a roof rack, though I recommend going a different route than the HD bars you asked about. The reason for that is these are uniquely large square bars, much larger than standard square crossbars, and don't offer additional capacity. Going with an aero roof rack from Rhino-Rack will still give you the same 165 lb dynamic capacity, will be much quieter, and allow you to use the rack for other things if you'd like. The HD bars often...

  • Which Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Will Fit My 2005 Acura MDX
  • The Roadmaster base plate kit that you will need for your 2005 Acura MDX is part # 1544-1, which is compatible with your Falcon tow bar. The base plate kit that you selected, part # 1173-3 is designed to fit the 2005-2008 Toyota Matrix. In addition to a base plate kit, and a tow bar, you will need safety cables, wiring or lighting, and a supplemental braking system to complete your towing flat-towing setup. For safety cables, you will need the Roadmaster 64 Inch Single Hook, Coiled Safety...

  • Yes, the Yakima Same Key System # Y07204 will provide you with 4 lock cores that can be used on all latches of a Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket like # Y07138.

  • Recommended Class S Tire Chains For 2016 Acura MDX
  • The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW1029C, are a Class S compatible snow tire chain. These are designed to fit the tires on your 2016 MDX if you have 245/55-19 tires. If the tires on your MDX are the 245/60-18, then the Class S compatible chains I recommend are part # PW1046. To secure the chains in place on your wheels I recommend using part # PW99. These are rubber adjusters that help keep tension on the chains when used. You will want to check your owner's manual for...

  • Measurements To Confirm Thule Motion XT Alpine Cargo Box # TH629506 Fitment On Factory Cross Bars
  • I have a few measurements you will need to verify the Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629506 will fit on your 2019 Acura MDX with the factory roof cross bars. Your cross bars can be no wider than 3-1/2" or taller than 1-11/16". The bars need to be spaced between 23-5/8" and 36-7/8" on center and the measurement from the front cross bar center to the roof line where rear hatch door meets must be 55" for your rear hatch not to contact the cargo box when opening. You must take...

  • Cargo Carrier With Ramp Recommendation to Carry Cub Cadet Snowblower on an Acura MDX
  • We do carry a carrier with a ramp that you can use to carry the Cub Cadet snowblower but the MaxxTow wheelchair carrier is not wide enough to carry the snowblower. The usable interior width space of the carrier is only 28 inches wide so the snowblower would not fit inside of the carrier. Instead, I recommend the Reese Steel cargo carrier with ramp part # PS10401-10402 because the usable space is 47-3/4 inches long by 31-3/4 inches wide. That gives you over 3 inches of extra width on the...

  • Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2017 Acura MDX Hybrid
  • Yes, you can use etrailer trailer hitch # e98840 on your 2017 Acura MDX hybrid. The hitch will fit with a full-size spare if the spare is the 18 inch but not if the spare is the available 19 or 20 inch. If you have a 19 or 20 inch full size spare in that area (which being a hybrid I am not sure if the spare is in the same place as gas models) then the spare would have to be relocated if it interferes with the hitch installation. I don't know how many bikes you want to carry or if you have...

  • The Draw-Tite Hitch Class III 2 Inch Hitch # 75599 will fit a 2003 Acura MDX touring model. It fits all 2001 to 2006 Acura MDX models. This hitch has a towing weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. I am sending a link to the installation instructions on the Hidden Hitch.
