Expert Answers about Acura ILX


  • Recommended Roof Rack System and Kayak Carrier for my 2019 Acura ILX
  • For your 2019 Acura ILX the Yakima Roof Rack System which uses 50" Yakima Jetstream Crossbars # Y00425, Towers # Y28TR, and Fit Kit # Y06180 and # Y06125. This option has 50" of useable crossbar space and 165lb load rating. Yakima is one of the leading roof rack manufacturers and their system uses adjustments in the legs to give the crossbars more of a custom fit than a lot of other options out there. If you do not yet have your kayak carrier the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Acura ILX
  • The Sportrack Roof Rack part # SR1010 is listed as a fit for the roof of your 2016 Acura ILX but since this is a semi-custom fit rack it's not going to provide you with the best fitting option. Instead I would recommend you go with the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK335 which is a custom fit option for your vehicle that will fit much better. With the rack isntalled you then would be able to use a kayak carrier like the Thule carrier part # TH834 for each kayak.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2016 Acura ILX
  • For your 2016 Acura ILX I recommend the Curt # C11391. This is a 1-1/4 inch, Class I trailer hitch so you will be able to carry 2 bikes on a compatible bike rack. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. For a compatible bike rack that is light weight and that will work with step-through frames and traditional frames I recommend the Kuat Sherpa # SH12G. This bike rack is made of aluminum so it is light weight and corrosion resistant.

  • Bike Rack Options for Ebikes on a 2018 Acura ILX
  • The main obstacle when choosing a bike rack for your electric bike is finding one that can handle the weight. The average ebike weighs between 38 and 70 pounds, with most of them falling in the 45-60 range. This means the Thule Gateway Pro 2, part # TH88VR, will more than likely not be able to carry your ebike as its weight capacity per bike is 35 pounds. This is true for the vast majority of trunk-mounted bike racks as well. The only option to carry your bikes on your 2018 Acura ILX...

  • Is There a 2 Inch Hitch for a 2019 Acura ILX
  • The only trailer hitch options available for a 2019 Acura ILX are 1-1/4", the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11391 is what I recommend using. That said, there is still an option to use 2" hitch mounted accessories via a hitch expander, the Brophy Hitch Adapter part # HTAD or part # HT5R. Please note, the use of a hitch adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity by 50%.

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Acura ILX
  • The Sportrack part # SR1010 that you referenced has been listed as a fit for your 2017 Acura ILX but this is a semi-custom fit rack so it won't give you the best possible roof rack fit. Instead I would go with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK335 which is a custom fit that will fit very well. We have found that the Sportrack racks will fit well for some vehicles but not for everyone.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2016 Acura ILX
  • We do carry roof racks for your 2016 Acura ILX. I attached a link to a page that has all of them listed for you to check out, but the most popular option that I would recommend for you is the Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145180. The bars of the rack were designed to be as quiet as possible and give you the best fuel mileage. For a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow part number # Y04073 would be a great option as well. This J-style rack can also fold...

  • Will Thule Atlantis 1800 XT Fit On 2014 Acura ILX Sedan
  • Since the Thule Atlantis 1800 XT Cargo Box is no longer produced by the manufacturer, I spoke with my contact at Thule just to confirm that this will work on your vehicle. He stated that the mounting hardware on the box is designed to fit most style crossbars of up to 4 inches in width. He also stated that there is no issue with mounting this sized cargo box on the roof of a sedan like your 2014 Acura ILX. If you do not yet have a roof rack system installed on your Acura ILX, I recommend...
