I looked at an online copy of the owners manual for a 2004 Acura MDX and when properly equipped and with the right amount of passengers in the vehicle it can tow a 3,200 pound travel trailer.
Staring with the trailer hitch, you can use # 13328 that you have selected. I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
Trailer wiring we will get to but first, the owners manual states that you also need a transmission... view full answer...

If any harness is going to work, it is the # 3070-P, since it fits the 2014 Honda Pilot which is the Honda cousin of the MDX. But it has not been officially confirmed to fit the MDX so I cannot guarantee that it will fit.
I recommend hardwiring in a controller using wiring kit # 5506. You would remove the wire in the 7 oclock position attached to the back of the factory 7-Way. You would then install the wire included with # 5506 in its spot (the included wire actually has 2 wires in it,... view full answer...
The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 will provide you a 7 round pin for your 2018 Acura MDX. This kit includes everything you need to install an electric trailer brake controller and 7-way connector. If there's not an existing 4-way flat on your vehicle, you can purchase one separately. The 4-way # 118628 is required for you to install the # ETBC7. The plug-in location is behind the driver side trim panel.

Actually, instead of the GVWR of the 2019 MDX, you'll want to refer to the curb weight of the vehicle; this measurement is going to be the weight of the vehicle without luggage or passengers, which is how the vehicle would be towed. According to my research, the curb weight of the 2019 Acura MDX is at most 4300-lbs.
This means that you can use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 since the weight of your vehicle will be under 4800-lbs when towed. The Kar Kaddy X is designed... view full answer...
The best way to determine the size of bearing buddy needed would be to take a highly accurate measurement of your hub bore using a digital caliper. I have edited a photo for you that shows this dimension.
If you happened to know the reference number from your outer wheel bearings, the proper bearing protector could be determined.
If you would care to reply with either the hub bore dimension or the outer bearing number, I would be happy to suggest a bearing protector for you. view full answer...
We do have all the parts you will need to install a 7-way on your 2012 Acura MDX but currently there is only a custom fit 4-Way # 118424.

For an in cab controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR as it has a small control knob... view full answer...
When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 onto your 2015 Acura MDX your 19 inch spare tire will not be able to be stowed underneath the vehicle. There will be no hitches available that will fir your 19 inch spare tire. What you will need to do is go to your local Acura dealer and pick up a 17 inch spare wheel and tire to be mounted underneath.
If you keep your 19 inch tire you will have to stow it in the rear cargo area. The Curt trailer hitch has a bolt on installation and is manufactured... view full answer...
In order to control the brakes on your trailer, you will need a brake controller. Since you're going to be installing the Tekonsha # 118289 on your 2015 Acura MDX, you don't already have the towing package in place, which would mean that you'd need to hard-wire most brake controllers in.
Because of this, I recommend using a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180, which won't require any wiring of the controller into the cab of the vehicle since it simply plugs into the... view full answer...
When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2023 Acura MDX I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR. This trailer hitch has an extra coating of rust resistant paint that will allow it to survive the elements better then the other hitches that are confirmed for your vehicle.
The trailer hitch has a maximum tongue weight up to 900 pounds, so you will have no issues hauling your 3 bikes to the park. When it comes to hauling your bikes around The Thule Hitching Post... view full answer...

The 2003 Acura MDX is not per-wired for a brake controller so you will need a few things in order to install a brake controller starting with a 4- to 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way and the wiring and accessories to install the brake controller. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation for you.
For a brake controller, I recommend the P2, # 90885. This controller is very popular because it is reliable, easy to set up, and easy to use. view full answer...
I have a great hitch for your 2022 Acura MDX. You'll want the etrailer Hitch Receiver item # e27KR. This is a custom fit hitch that bolts directly to your Acura with included hardware and requires no drilling or welding. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with... view full answer...
I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler for your vehicle if you plan on towing. The factory transmission cooler is often adequate at best for non-towing situations, so a supplemental cooler would greatly help extend the life of your transmission.
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, you will need to measure the area in front of your radiator to determine what size cooler will fit and pick the one with those dimensions. If you can fit it, I would recommend... view full answer...
You will still be able to use your bars, but you'd have to swap your feet and fit kit out with the Edge Flush Rail Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars # TH89SC & the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH73CE. view full answer...
You're on the right track; to add the Curt brake controller to your 2010 Acura MDX you'll need to add the 4-way as well as 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7. You will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which also gives you the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation. The exact parts you need are the following:

I do have a few options for you to carry a recumbent trike on your SUV.
The first option would be to use the SeaSucker Roof Bike Rack for Trikes # 298-BD1005. You will simply need to place the Vacuum Cups in the appropriate places on your roof and pump them up until the orange band disappears. This has a 45 lbs weight capacity.
Another option would be to use the Yakima Boa Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02065 on your roof rack. For this to be compatible with your trike you will also need... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13146 does not fit the 2022 Acura MDX it fits the previous model years. For your 2022 MDX you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C22HR. This hitch receiver is custom fit and designed specifically for your vehicle. Which means, you will have no issues with your 20" diameter compact mini donut. It is a class III hitch and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs.

If your 2014 Acura MDX did not come with the factory tow package then you would likely need to get the relay from an Acura dealer to install trailer wiring harness # C56192. It is possible though that an auto parts store would have an aftermarket relay. You can check your vehicle owners manual for the relay location to see if it is present on your model. view full answer...
