Expert Answers about Acura MDX
- How To Carry Both A Kayak And Paddle Board At The Same Time
- The Thule compass # TH890000 has enough capacity to hold both your kayak and SUP. It has a spot on each side for both your kayak and SUP and will wrap around your factory roof rack bars on your wife's 2016 Acura MDX. Since the Acura roof rack isn't that wide, hauling the SUP vertically is the way to go and the Thule Compass will get the job done!

- To determine if the Carpod # M2200-01-02 Cargo Carrier will fit in your 2012 Acura MDX, you'll need to measure the distance between the hitch pin hole and the receiver and the rear-most portion of the back bumper. If this distance is less than 4 inches, the Carpod carrier would work great.
When we installed hitches on a 2012 MDX, we found that the Curt # 13354 had 3-1/2 inches of clearance, while the Draw-Tite # 75614 had 3-3/4 inches of clearance. Personally, I'd like to see at least...

view full answer... - Will Hitch Installation Interfere With Hands-Free Liftgate On 2024 Acura MDX
- Installation of the etrailer # e27KR will likely interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor or cause loss of functionality on your 2024 Acura MDX. However, we have had some customers manage to relocate the sensor on their own so it will continue to work as intended.
I have attached a picture below showing what this looks like along with our installation video for your reference.
view full answer... - Clearance Required for Yakima SkyBox and RocketBox on 2017 Acura MDX
- The Yakima SkyBox NX 16 # Y95AV requires having 47" from the middle of the front crossbar to the rear hatch line, so as long as you've got that much space then the SkyBox NX 16 will work just fine for you. There is not a 14 cu/ft version of the SkyBox, but the Yakima RocketBox 14 # Y07192 is only 74" long and a little bit shorter, so it only requires 45" of clearance from the center of the front crossbar to the rear hatch.
I've linked a review video we did of the RocketBox 14 being installed...

view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C22HR Fit A 2022 Acura MDX With Compact Spare Tire?
- For the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR you were looking at for your 2022 Acura MDX you will have no issues with your 20" diameter compact spare tire.
The only spare tires that will not fit are those that use a wheel larger than 18". Since your tires have a 20" outside diameter it is pretty likely that they are on a wheel that is 18" or smaller.
If you are planning on towing with your MDX you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C59236, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch...
view full answer... - What Vehicles Does the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75599 Fit
- I was able to find that you purchased the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75599 for your 2004 Acura MDX.
That hitch receiver will fit the following; 2001 - 2006 Acura MDX and 2003 - 2008 Honda Pilot.
Keep in mind that trailer hitch receiver hardware is meant to only be torqued down to specs once. If you need replacement hardware you will just use part # RHK, select the manufacturer, and then insert your part number in the blank.

- The etrailer trailer hitch # e98840 is now listed as a fit for all styles of the 2015 Acura MDX including models with the sport bumper. At the time the answer you are referring to reflected the fit information that was available then. But now it has been determined the hitch will fit.
If you plan on doing 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 or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch...
view full answer... - Will Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack Work on 2012 Acura MDX with a Spoiler
- I spoke with my contact at Hollywood Racks and the Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3, can be used on a 2012 Acura MDX with a factory spoiler. In order to mount this rack on your MDX, you will need to attach the side straps to the loops that are located on the sides of your trunk interior.
If you will be carrying any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2014 Acura MDX
- For your 2014 Acura MDX, I'd recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # C13146. When installed, the hitch will be almost completely concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube being visible. There isn't a Class I hitch available for your vehicle, but the 2 inch receiver is much more popular, and will have a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers available.
If you'll be towing with your hitch, you might be interested in...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Compatibility for Honda Pilot and Acura MDX
- Aftermarket trailer hitch fits for the 2005 Acura MDX and the 2005 Honda Pilot are indeed the same. Either vehicle can be fitted with three different Class III hitches, part # 75599 from Draw-Tite, part # 13328 from Curt and part 87454 from Hidden Hitch. No drilling is required for installing any hitch on either vehicle.
Since we do not sell the OEM hitch that was installed on the MDX I cannot guarantee that it will fit the Pilot but odds are pretty good that it will. Some vehicles' OEM...

- The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Item # TH934XTR is a complete bike rack that comes with the bike rack itself, the 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapter, cradles, anti-sway cages, straps, and threaded hitch bolt.
Since you will be putting on a female, child bike on the rack you will likely need adapter bar # 64005 in order to mount the bike to the rack and to carry it more level. I have included links to videos on the bike rack and adapter for you.
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2011 Acura MDX
- To install a trailer hitch on your 2011 Acura MDX you are going to want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e26AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. It has a matte black powder coat finish that not only protects your hitch but also helps to conceal it unlike other hitches with glossy finishes.
This hitch does not fit models with rear Sport Bumper trim.
If you are going to tow with this hitch you will need a wiring harness item # 118424 and...
view full answer... - Will The Hands Free Lift Gate Operate With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2023 Acura MDX?
- Yes, you will still be able to use your hands free lift gate with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR installed on your 2023 Acura MDX. The sensor is offset from the factory as they designed it to work with the factory receiver as well.
I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 when you install the receiver. This is a custom fit wiring harness which will use the factory connectors to install on your 2023 Acura MDX.
view full answer... - Does a 4-Flat Vehicle Connector Work w/ Surge Brakes on a 2019 Acura MDX?
- Yes, the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # HM11143270 will work with surge brakes. The wiring harnesses do not have any compatibility issues with surge brakes. However, I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118628 over the Hopkins connector. Tekonsha makes a more reliable product. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your MDX's junction box, which is located in...

- Yes, the Thule Apex XT # TH9025XT will fit and is an excellent choice for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13354 on your 2010 Acura MDX. We actually have a review video of this bike rack on a 2016 Acura MDX that I have linked for you to check out.
Please note that if any of your bikes does not have a horizontal cross tube then the Adapter Bar # TH982XT might need to be used to help keep the bike level and promote ground clearance. I have attached a sample review video for this product as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack That Allows 2012 Acura MDX Hatch to Open with Bikes Loaded
- We have not tested the Yakima HoldUp, # Y02443, on an Acura MDX so I cannot be sure. However, based on how the rack works on other vehicles you would most likely not be able to raise the hatch with the bikes still loaded and the rack tilted down.
For nearly complete access to the back of the vehicle i recommend a swinging bike rack like the Thule Apex, # TH9027XT. The swinging bike racks will swing off to the side of the vehicle, with bikes loaded, and allow you to open the rear hatch...
view full answer... - Snowboard and Ski Carrier Recommendations for a 2011 Acura MDX with Factory Roof Rack
- If your 2011 Acura MDX has the crossbars that run side to side on the vehicle roof, you could also use the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier, # TH7325, that you have referenced. You would not need to add any additional parts. This carrier is a direct fit to the factory Acura crossbars. I have included links to videos of both carriers for you to view.
