  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2015 Acura TLX
  • We do indeed have a hitch available for your 2015 Acura TLX, the Curt Class I, part # C11535. Curt's warranty states that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 needs to be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo carriers.

  • Hitch Extenders and Hitch Expanders for Class I Hitch
  • Yes, we do have Class I hitch expanders that are like the Class II part # 80303 that you referenced. This item # 80303 fits a Class II 1-1/4-inch hitch and converts the opening to a 2-inch size while also providing 6-inches of extension. For a 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch we have similar items like Brophy # HT5R which gives you the larger 2-inch receiver size as well as 5-inches of rise for better ground clearance with whatever accessory you mount in it. They also offer a straight expander/extender...

  • Yakima SKS Lock Cylinders and Keys
  • The Yakima Replacement Lock Housings for Q Towers, # Y8870069, do not include the lock cylinders or keys. For the added lock cylinders and keys, you will need the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores, # Y07204, to add to the lock housing # Y8870069. These lock cores are keyed the same. Once installed, you will only need one key to lock or unlock each core. The cores will include 2 keys and a master key to allow you to remove and install the lock cores into the lock housings.

  • Availability of Mud Flaps for 2011 Acura RDX
  • The mud flap option we offer for the 2011 Acura RDX is a general-purpose kit like the Husky Liners Universal-Fit Molded Mud Flaps Set # HL56331. This is a 2-piece (front or rear) kit that includes fasteners and that is intended for larger vehicles. The flaps themselves measure 11-3/4- wide x 17-5/8-inches long. This may be a bit too large for your RDX - but you can decide this for yourself. Do note that we also offer smaller universal-fit mud flaps such as the DeeZee Universal-Fit Plastic...

  • Recommended Hitch Adapter to Allow Use of 2-Inch Kuat Bike Rack in Class I Hitch on 2015 Acura TLX
  • Hitch adapters like # HT5R are available to allow use of a 2-inch hitch accessory in a 1-1/4-inch hitch. And this particular product also provides 5-inches of height rise to improve ground clearance. BUT...there's always one of those...use of ANY hitch adapter causes the unavoidable side-effect of reducing your hitch's rated tongue weight (TW) capacity. This loss of capacity results from the increased distance between the hitch tube and the actual rack. The greater distance means more...

  • Is There A Ramp Attachment For The Kuat Sherpa 2.0
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G is a great bike rack. I have been using a Kuat NV for the last few years and I love it. Unfortunately, Kuat does not make a ramp for the Sherpa 2.0. The Sherpa can only hold two bikes weighing up to 40 lbs apiece. So this would not work for heavier e-bikes. On that note, I will say that the Kuat NV 2.0 would be a perfect bike rack for your application. We have the # BA12B for a 1-1/4" hitch, or the # BA22B for a 2" hitch. This rack is made for heavier e-bikes,...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch With 1-1/4 Inch Receiver for 2022 Acura RDX Carrying Kuat Sherpa 2.0
  • As of right now (December 2021) the 2022 Acura RDX only has Class III hitches with a 2" receiver available. That does not mean there won't be a hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, but for now none are confirmed to fit. There are, however, some steps you could take to minimize any play with a 2" receiver, which would also mean you get the advantages of a Class III hitch. If you get a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR you will have more options for other accessories should you...

  • Tie-Down Mounting Points on 2016 Acura RDX for Kayak Carrier
  • Usually people run the tie down straps of the Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier part # RR571 to tow hooks on the front of the vehicle and the back as well. If you can't find them you can use the etrailer tie-down kit # e36ZR which you could close in the hood and trunk of your vehicle to use as an anchor.

  • Are K-Source Mirror Replacements Paintable to Match Vehicle
  • The K-Source Replacement Side Mirror # KS63585H that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Acura TSX but it's not painted. We don't have any versions of this mirror that are paint color matched but you can pretty easily take the mirror to a body shop and have them paint it like you need.

  • Available 4-Pole Wiring Kits for 2012 Acura MDX and Part Needed to Convert to 7-Way
  • The wiring harness kits we offer for the 2012 Acura MDX are the 4-pole type, such as Tekonsha # 118424 and the others shown on the linked page. These can be used with a 5-pole adapter such as # 20036 which allows, for instance, connection to the vehicle reverse light circuit to activate a trailer coupler's electric reverse lockout. 4-pole wiring carries only basic trailer lighting signals but it is easy enough to convert 4-pole wiring to a fully-functioning 7-way (with the three additional...

  • Roof Mounted Ski and Bike Rack Compatible with SportRack Roof Rack for 1991 Acura Integra
  • The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack you mentioned, part # SR1008 is compatible with your 1991 Acura Integra if it is a 4 door model. If you have a 2 door model, then you will also want to pick up the SportRack Short-Roof Adapter part # SR1116. Thule has a ski carrier, part # TH32WV as well the roof mounted bike carrier, part # TH598004. SportRack does not offer a fairing, so I asked my Thule representative if any of the Thule fairings would be compatible with the SportRack Frontier roof...

  • Why Does Trailer Hitch for 2016 Acura RDX Have Higher Towing Capacity than Vehicle
  • With any towing setup your overall towing capacity is only as strong as your weakest component. So if you were to install a hitch on your 2016 Acura RDX that has a higher towing capacity than the vehicle like with the Draw Tite # 75784 you would be still limited by the vehicle since a towing setup is only as strong as it's weakest component. They design hitches for vehicles and then try to make them as strong as possible and rate them independently of the vehicle which is why they capacity...

  • Availability of a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to Fit a 2017 Acura MDX
  • We carry several trunk mounted bike racks that will work well on your 2017 Acura MDX. We offer 1,2, and 3 bike trunk mounted racks. I recommend going with a 3 bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack, # Y02633. Using a 3 bike rack will allow you the extra carrying capacity if you by chance need to carry an extra bike. Also the FullBack has a 90 lbs weight capacity when carrying 3 bikes. What I like the best about the YakimaFullBack bike rack is, unlike most trunk mounted racks,...

  • Does Installing a Hitch on a 2015 Acura RDX Automatically Void Vehicle Warranty
  • Installing a hitch on your 2015 Acura RDX will not have any warranty implications if the hitch is installed as outlined in the instructions and used within the weight bearing capabilities of the vehicle. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually...

  • Recommended Setup to Haul Two 105 lb Mopeds With 2011 Acura MDX
  • I do have a solution for you, but there are no bike rack options that will hold up two 105 lb Mopeds. It is just too much weight. What you will need to do is get a small utility trailer, like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7, and haul your Mopeds around in that. To do this with your 2011 Acura MDX you will need a trailer hitch receiver, a ball mount and hitch ball, and a trailer wiring kit. If you do not already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend going...

  • Tips for Finding Installer for Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Acura RDX
  • Any local mechanic to you with a solid reputation would have no problem installing the Draw Tite hitch part # 76238 that you referenced for your 2019 Acura RDX. Hitch installs are relatively easy for them as they deal with much harder jobs on a daily basis. I'd just find a local shop that you know has a great reputation and let them install it. If you need trailer wiring as well you'd want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which installs without any vehicle wiring splicing. If you wanted to...

  • Adapter to Convert 4-Pole Trailer Connector on 2002 Acura MDX to 5-Pole for Boat Trailer Actuator
  • We offer a handy plug-in wiring adapter # 20036 that will allow you to easily convert your MDX 4-pole wiring to a 5-pole format to match your boat trailer. The kit includes a quick-splice connector to allow you to connect the 5th wire (the single blue one) to the car's reverse light circuit. This will capture the reverse light signal required to activate your trailer coupler's reverse lockout.
