  • Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension for 2011 Gulfstream Visa Travel Trailer
  • Timbren axle-less trailer suspensions like # ASR5200S01 and # ASR3500S05 can be bolted on to the trailer frame; welded-on installation is fine too. It's your choice. Since the Gulfstream Visa M-19RSD single-axle travel trailer has a dry weight of 2832-lbs and is rated to sleep 5 persons I would expect its axle is rated for more than 3500-lbs. You want to ensure you replace the standard beam axle with a Timbren kit rated for the same weight capacity. Your OEM axle should have a plate or...

  • Dimensions of the Wesbarg Coiled 7-Ways
  • I went and pulled the WesBarg 7-Way # WG54006-046 and the # WG54006-043 from our warehouse to grab the measurements you requested. The coil diameter on both is 2-1/2 inches. For the 6 foot version part # WG54006-043 the length of just the coils is 8-1/2 inches and if measured from end to end with the coils unstretched it measures 27 inches. For the 12 foot long version the coiled portion is 19 inches long and from end to end measures 3 feet unstretched.

  • 2016 Acura MDX Naked Roof Rhino Rack Fit
  • Let's start with your questions about weight limits first. This rack has a weight limit of 165lbs. That limit is to be distributed across the rack.

  • Best 12-Inch Trailer Tires for Pop-Up Camper Trailer
  • The overall diameter of a mounted and inflated tire in size 5.30-12 such as # AM30780 will be 21.9-inches. 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...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Acura MDX
  • To add a hitch to your 2024 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e27KR you were looking at. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up. For a compatible wiring harness you will want the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236. I also recommend...

  • Alternatives to Rear Suspension Systems for a 2004 Acura MDX Towing a 1999 Key West Boat Trailer
  • I spoke with my contact at Timbren and the Rear Suspension System, part # THROD2, has a weight capacity of 2000 lbs and will work on your 2004 Acura MDX as long as the tongue weight does not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle or trailer hitch. I assume the 1999 Key West boat trailer you have creates sag on the rear of your vehicle. I would recommend a weight distribution system over a rear suspension enhancement system in this situation. I would recommend the Reese Trunnion...

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2024 Acura MDX
  • I would be happy to help! To install a 7-Way harness on your 2024 Acura MDX, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is a 4-way connector. If your Acura didn't come with one you will want the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
  • Yes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C22HR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C22HR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video below....

  • Will the Yakima HangOut fit 2015 Acura MDX
  • The Yakima HangOut # Y02638 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Acura MDX. As for the straps, you are going to want to use all six with the Yakima HangOut # Y02638 to get the most secure fit on your Acura. The Yakima FullBack # Y02633, as you mentioned, only uses four straps, and there are a few other differences. The HangOut is going to require the use of Yakima Same Key System Core # Y07202, and added security measures such as the Security Strap # Y02623 (which secures the rack to your...

  • Hole Spacing On Mounting Plate For Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack
  • You are correct. The 3 inches you measure is the standard hole spacing for A-frame mounted jacks. The description is describing the outer tube diameter and is not describing the slotted holes on the mounting plate. The 3 inches you have for hole spacing would work well with this jack.

  • 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 To Measure Crossbar Spread And Verify Which Accessories Will Be Compatible
  • 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".
