Expert Answers about Acura MDX


  • Can I Use the Yakima OnRamp with my Aventon Aventure E-Bikes
  • When it comes to your Aventon Aventure step-through bikes, the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR has a 66-lbs per bike capacity but you will need to add the Fat Tire Strap # Y23FR to allow the OnRamp to be compatible with your 26 x 4" tires. It's not that you can't install a hitch like the Curt # C13146 on your 2016 Acura MDX, but because you've got the 19" wheels the spare tire that is stored under the vehicle cannot be re-installed. You could use it, but you'd need to store the spare inside the...

  • Can the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Carry a Bike with a 48 Wheelbase
  • Since the max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B is 47" your bike with a 48" wheelbase won't fit but I do have a different recommendation for you. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B is the next step up to the Sherpa 2.0 in regards to Kuat bike racks and it is compatible with your 48" wheelbase. The NV 2.0 Base also comes with bike and rack locks, is a wheel mount platform rack, and has the tilting/folding functions along with the anti-rattle knob at the front of the base assembly. The...

  • 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. I have linked one of our product review videos below on the OffGrid basket that shows you where the lock cylinders will install on the latches.

  • Yes the etrailer anti-rattle device part # e99007 that you referenced can be used on with a weight distribution system like you have. This will get rid of the movement and slop that has developed and provide a solid and quiet connection.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
  • To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e27KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the cross tube installs behind your rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. The matte black powder coat finish not only offers superior rust protection but it also helps to conceal the receiver below your bumper trim. The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR is made in the USA and...

  • Rooftop Cargo Box For 2018 Acura MDX With Best Hatch Clearance
  • So we can get you a rooftop cargo box for your 2018 Acura MDX that will likely give you the ability to completely open your tailgate, but there isn't a way to move the SkyBox 18 # Y07336 forward or get it to allow you to clear the tailgate. Since you did mention that a different cargo box would be a better option, there are a couple that have a much better chance of allowing the tailgate on your '18 MDX to fully open: - Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 - Thule Pulse Medium...

  • Does the Thule Motion XT L Roof Box Fit on a 2015 Acura MDX?
  • If you have flush factory rails on your 2015 Acura MDX, I cannot confirm whether the crossbar positioning on the rails will allow you for rear hatch clearance. One way that you can confirm this is by placing the crossbars in the maximum front position and measuring the center of the crossbar to the line where the hatch and roof meet. If that length is equal to or greater than 47-1/2 inches, then you will be able to open the rear hatch with the Thule Motion XT L. If it is less than 47-1/2...

  • Can 2 J-Style Kayak Racks Be Attached To A 2016 Acura MDX Factory Roof Rack?
  • Your 2016 Acura MDX with factory roof rack can use two J-style carriers to carry your 2 Kayaks. I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834 along with two sets of the Hood Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 # TH529 for this application. Another option I recommend is the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # S512 along with the Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # RRS512X for your...

  • Will Yakima SkyBox 18 # Y07336 Fit 2004 Acura MDX Without Interfering with Rear Hatch
  • In order to determine if you will have rear hatch clearance with the Yakima SkyBox 18, you will need to take a measurement on your roof. Measure rearward from the center of the front crossbar to the seam where the rear hatch meets the vehicle roof. If this distance is at least 57 inches, the cargo box will not interfere with your ability to fully open the rear hatch.

  • Compatibility of Giant 20 Inch Bike on Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack
  • Thanks for the photo of your bike. To fit on the Thule Apex 4 # TH9025XT, you will need to use a bike adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005. This creates a top frame rail between the seat post and the handlebars. I've attached a video to assist.

  • 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...

  • Will the Pro Series Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Fit a 2008 Acura MDX
  • On the trailer hitches we have installed on a 2008 Acura MDX and similar models, we have found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to clear the rear bumper on the vehicle measures up to 5 inches. The Pro Series Cargo carrier, # 63153, measures 12-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the carrier so it will clear the rear bumper. This is also enough distance to allow you to open the rear hatch on the vehicle. If your tail lights are...

  • What is the Tailgate Clearance For a Thule Motion XT-L Cargo Box on an 2014 Acura MDX
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629706 requires 47-1/2" between the center of the front crossbar and the line where the rear hatch meets the roof. It looks like you'll have fixed mounting points on your 2014 Acura MDX so you can get a general idea by measuring from the middle of your front fixed mounting points on the roof; as long as you've got 47-1/2" or more then you'll be able to open the hatch unobstructed. I'll note that generally the Motion XT...

  • Will the Thule Motion XL Rooftop Cargo Box Fit a 2016 Acura MDX with Factory Roof Rack
  • The Thule Hyper XL has been discontinued. The Thule Motion XL Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629807 will fit on a 2016 Acura MDX with the factory roof rack. You will simply need at least 51-1/4 inches from the center of the front crossbar to the seam of your hatch for clearance. If that measurement is too large, then you will want to look at a smaller box option. The fit is available of each product page.

  • Trailer Hitch Confirmed to Fit the 2024 Acura MDX
  • For your 2024 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR. This hitch has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver. The 2" receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. It also has a nice matte black finish, that I think looks better than the gloss options when installed. If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the Curt...

  • Is 18" The Tire Or Wheel Size That Fits With etrailer Trailer Hitch e98840 On 2017 Acura MDX?
  • That is actually a great question! The actual wheel will need to be 18" or smaller for it to fit after installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 on your 2017 Acura MDX. You will not need to actually measure the wheel, just look for the tire size on the spare tire and the last two digits will be the wheel size. For example if your MDX has the standard 245/60R18 tires, then the 18 at the end means the wheel is 18" in diameter and would fit just fine with this hitch. If you...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2006 Acura MDX with Full Size Spare Tire
  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75599 only fits if the 2006 Acura MDX has the doughnut or mini spare tire, not the full sized spare. The confusion is that it also fits certain models of the Honda Pilot and on those it will fit with the full sized spare. Curt trailer hitch # 13328 will fit a 2006 Acura MDX with full size spare. I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts,...

  • 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...

  • 2017 Acura MDX Compatible Roof Rack and Storage Box With Rear Hatch Access
  • You can use the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906 to carry skis up to 215cm in length! I've included a video showing you that it will not interfere with your tailgate so you're all good there! Now, lets find a roof rack for your 2017 Acura MDX. Since you have flush mounted rails, I recommend getting the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7602B-TH7603B and the Fit Kit # THKIT3132. This system is extremely sleek and resembles an OEM roof rack system. The Thule Motion XT will...

  • Fit of Thule TH944 Hitching Post on 2009 Acura MDX w/ Aftermarket Hitch
  • It should fit. When we installed a hitch on the 2009 MDX, we found that the hitch was recessed under the vehicle by 3-1/2 inches, meaning that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rearmost point of the bumper was 3-1/2 inches. The rack you choose will need to have a shank longer than that, measured from the hitch pin hole to the closest portion of the bike rack's upright. The receiver opening is close enough to the back of the vehicle that just about any bike rack should be compatible...
