Expert Answers about Acura RDX


  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Acura RDX for Thule Cargo Box
  • For your 2011 Acura RDX with a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Feet # RRRLKVA, and Custom Fit Kit # DK177 would be all that you would need to install a roof rack so that you can carry a cargo carrier. This would work well with Thule Cargo box you already own or with something like the Thule Pulse # TH615 which has 16 cubic feet of storage space.

  • 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...

  • Recommended 3-Bike Trunk Rack for 2010 Acura RDX and 2017 Hyundai Tucson
  • For both your 2010 Acura RDX and your 2017 Hyundai Tucson, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. I spoke with my contact at Hollywood Racks and he confirmed that this 3-bike rack will fit both of your vehicles. This is a really nice trunk-mounted rack that features a high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options that will work perfectly with the rear spoilers on your vehicles. It can handle 3 bikes of up to 35 pounds each and its foam pads will also...

  • Recommendation For Carrying Bikes On a 2024 Acura RDX Without Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I recommend adding the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack to your 2024 Acura RDX. For this you will need the Crossbars # TH711520, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH78RF. Then you will be able to add 2 Bike Racks # TH598004 to the roof of your Acura which are capable of carrying a bike up to 44lbs each. You can also secure the bikes by adding the Locks # TH450800 to both the roof rack and the bike racks.

  • Comparing Thule T2 and Kuat Sherpa for 2017 Acura RDX
  • Because the T2 Bike Rack part # TH23JV and the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G are so similar and the # SH22G is considerably lighter I think it would be the best choice for you. As long as you have a 2 inch hitch either of these racks would work well for you. Functionally the racks are basically the exact same and come with the same features, only advantage one has over the other is weight. That's where the # SH22G has the advantage. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. You'll...

  • Do Yakima Roof Racks Fit 2023 Acura RDX
  • So we were able to determine that the 2023 Acura RDX wasn't changed from the 2022 model and we then carried over the fits from the previous year. Sometimes one of the rack manufacturers does this first and since we know they did the correct research we know that other brands will also carry over even if they haven't had a chance to test it like with the Yakima Corebar roof rack part numbers # Y00421 # Y64AR, and # Y49AR that we have listed for your 23' RDX.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Acura RDX
  • All of the Class III hitches we carry for the 2015 Acura RDX will be pretty low profile. Basically all you would see is the hitch opening right underneath you rear bumper. The most popular option we carry is the Curt hitch part # C13130. This hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight rating and a 4,000 lb total trailer weight rating so it should do a great job for towing your trailer. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with...

  • Is Additional Fuse Needed to Install Tekonsha Trailer Wiring in 2019 Acura RDX
  • Is it possible you didn't install the blue fuse that comes with the Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 118800 into the fuse holder that's on the power wire of the kit? Without this fuse installed no power would make it to the module. Worst case scenario if your vehicle does not have this circuit active you could route a wire from the vehicle's positive battery post to this wire and you'd have the harness active.

  • Recommended Roof Rack, Surfboard and Kayak Carrier for 2011 Acura RDX
  • The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero rack consisting of the # RRVA137B-2 crossbars, the # RRRLKVA foot pack and the # DK177 fit kit you mentioned would be an excellent choice for your RDX. This comes with plastic lock cores with universal keys, but can be upgraded to all metal locks for added security, # RRVA-LEC4. For your surfboards, I'd recommend the Thule # TH811XT board carrier, which can carry up to 2 boards. The molded foam base protects your boards from damage, and tie down straps are included. For...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Acura RDX
  • The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Acura RDX is the Class III Draw Tite part # 76268 as it has higher towing capacities than the Class II hitch available for your vehicle # 36114 which will help with towing and it installs easily. You'll also need the Tekonsha kit part # 118800 which installs easily and has a very reliable converter box. 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...

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment and Recommendation for a 2019 Acura RDX
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR is the exact same hitch as the Curt 13423 that fits your 2019 Acura RDX - we just create our own unique part numbers since manufacturers can sometimes have crossover with part numbers. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR will also have the same dimensions with the only difference being that matte black finish like you mentioned. I personally like the matte black finish over the glass black standard so I recommend going with the etrailer...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Acura RDX and 2014 Chevy Equinox
  • The nicest trunk mounted bike rack available for both your 2015 Acura RDX and your 2014 Chevy Equinox is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 2 bike rack part # HRF2. It has all of the features as the other trunk racks but has very large pads where it would contact a vehicle to spread out the weight of the bikes and the rack. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Bike Frame Adapter Bar...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Acura RDX

This 2 inch hitch has a 400lb tongue weight, which will work good for your carbon bikes and the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR. I have linked all the hitches for your vehicle for your convenience, there is a higher rated tongue weighted hitch from Curt # C13130.

  • Recommended 2-Inch Hitch For Bike Rack on 2016 Acura RDX

The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 75784. Hitch installation is shown in the linked video and detailed in the linked instructions. I also included a helpful article with tips on hitch installation. The tools required are listed in the instructions. Mostly basic hand tools are needed but you'll...

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend for 2 Electra Path 9D Step-Through Bikes?
  • For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Acura RDX that fits your 2 Electra Path 9D bikes, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360. The Trailhead has a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and will allow you to tilt the rack (with bikes unloaded) to gain better access to your vehicle's rear hatch. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike...

  • Do You Recommend a Class II or a Class III Hitch for a Bike Rack on My 2018 Acura RDX?
  • As far as installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75784 on your 2018 Acura RDX, it is not overkill for the purposes of of transporting a 2-bike platform rack. Also, since the # 75784 involves a concealed crosstube design exactly like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12083, you won't have any bulky eyesores associated with an exposed crosstube. Also, the 2-inch receiver opening has the benefit of being compatible...

  • 2 Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Electra Townies with Fenders and Balloon Tires
  • The best rack style for a bike like your Electra Townie that has fenders would be a platform bike rack that uses a hook to grab the frame of the bike and hold it to the rack. One very popular option is the Saris Freedom part # SA4412B. And then for an adapter to allow the wider tires to fit on the rack you'd want the Fat Tire adapter part # SA4419.

  • The Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack # SH22G was designed to be used with the 1/2 inch hitch pin that comes with it. But we have found that the etrailer Locking Hitch Pin part # e98882 that has a 5/8 inch diameter does work.

  • Curt or T-One Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2014 Acura RDX
  • They both will actually install the exact same. They both use the same trailer wiring connector that's at the rear of your vehicle behind the interior trim panel. I would recommend going with the T-One kit part # 118569 over the Curt part # 56008 though since we have better luck with the T-One brand over the Curt brand in terms of long term reliability.
