- Though you said Trek Versa+ eBike I believe you meant Trek Verve+ and for carrying that bike on your 2012 Acura MDX I strongly recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B because at 22-1/2 lbs it is one of the lightest platform racks in the industry but still has a 60 lb per bike capacity and is a highly economical choice relative to other racks capable of carrying an E-bike.
The Saris Freedom uses cradles that are adjustable along its mast so it can easily grasp your Verve+...

- The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98840 is confirmed to fit your 2020 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid and is a great choice due to its durable matte black powder coat finish that protects from chips and scratches, and due to the hidden crossbar that leaves only the receiver itself visible once installed as you can see in the included picture.
At this time none of the trailer hitch receivers confirmed to fit your MDX will allow you to fit a...

view full answer... - Can a 2016 Acura MDX Be Flat-Towed
- The 2016 Acura MDX cannot be flat-towed with all four wheels behind a motorhome. I did confirm this in the owner's manual for you as well. If the vehicle is FWD then it can be towed on a tow dolly such as the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045 which is what I recommend. If the vehicle is AWD then it will need to be towed on a flat-bed.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof-Rack-Mount Enclosed Cargo Box for 2014 Acura MDX with Factory Roof Rack
- For your 2014 Acura MDX with factory-installed roof rails and crossbars Thule confirms the fit of their Pulse Cargo box # TH615. This matte-black-finish box offers a substantial 16-cubic-feet of internal volume and its inside dimensions are 72 long x 31 wide x 14-1/2 tall. An enclosed box like the Thule Pulse will provide much better protection for your belongings than an open basket carrier.
It is a good idea to check your Acura owner's manual for the car's roof weight capacity. This...
view full answer... - Which Curt Trailer Hitch Fits 2017 Acura MDX
- We have a very similar Curt hitch that does fit your 2017 Acura MDX with the part # C13146 but the one you referenced is not a fit so it would not be the hitch to go with. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

- At the price point of the Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR you won't find a better value than it. It has the features and ease of use like the more expensive racks but costs less. It also has a very narrow arm width of 12-3/8" which allows smaller bikes to fit easier. If this is not narrow enough, you can use the bike adapter bar # 64005 for your smallest bike.

- The Inno Square Crossbar System part # INB147, part # INSUT, and part # INK590 is an excellent cost effective option for a 2012 Acura MDX and it even comes with locks for security. It can then be used for a bike rack like the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack part # INA389 and a cargo box like the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box part # SR7095. The two should fit together width wise no problem and because the cargo box has a higher profile rather than longer length it should clear the hatch...

- Yes the 12 volt accessory circuit of a 7-way trailer wiring connector can keep a trailer house's battery topped off. Basically you'd run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 to the battery's positive battery post and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for 2014 Acura MDX with Naked Roof
- We do have a large selection of roof racks available that are confirmed to fit your 2014 Acura MDX with the naked roof.
When it comes to roof rack systems, the difference in brands/manufacturers will usually just come down to personal preference, along with the type of crossbars you want. Thule and Yakima tend to represent the more premium options (Thule crossbars are considered to be the quietest on the market.), while Rhino-Rack will usually offer a more cost-effective, but still high...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 Acura MDX
- I am assuming you have a 2003 Acura MDX since the trailer hitch that you referenced fits the Acura MDX. I do have a trailer hitch that will fit the 2003 Acura MDX, however, the hitch that you referenced will only fit 2007 to 2013 models.
For your 2003 model, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75599. This hitch was designed to fit the 2001 to 2006 MDX. I have attached an installation video of this hitch on a 2004 model for you to check out. The installation process will...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Acura MDX
- The Rhino Rack # RR92QR Vortex Aero roof rack would be a great choice for your 2017 Acura MDX. Because of its streamlined design, it looks more like a factory roof rack than what you'd see with typical aftermarket roof racks.
For a 2 kayak carrier that offers tons of flexibility, I'd recommend the Thule Compass, part # TH890000 allows you to carry one or two kayaks and up to two stand up paddleboards. Tie down straps and bow/stern tie downs for 2 kayaks are included.
If you'd prefer a...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2020 Acura MDX
- The Blue Ox weight distribution systems don't compare to the Strait Line systems in terms of sway control and overall weight distribution. I would highly recommend you get a Strait Line for your setup # RP66082 for the best overall towing experience.
Since your 2020 Acura MDX has the factory 7-way all you'd need to install the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 is the controller itself and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike at Rear of Travel Trailer
- We have an e-bike rack that is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of travel trailers with the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR but the Hollywood Racks RV Rider you mentioned is currently not rated for this application. The Transfer V2 though has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity and only touches the bikes by the tires so it's a really great and easy to use option. Check out the review video link I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Acura MDX with Technology Package and 19 Inch Spare Tire
- The technology package on your 2017 Acura MDX will not be an issue for a trailer hitch receiver but the spare tire will. They do not make a trailer hitch for your 2017 Acura MDX that will work with the 19" spare tire (only 18" and below) therefore, if you want to use a trailer hitch you would have to remove your spare tire but you could get a new smaller spare tire from the dealer to take its place. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13146 because it has the best ground...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Acura MDX Towing a 3,750 Pound Boat and Trailer
- The Class of transmission cooler you use will depend more on where you can mount it. The most efficient place is in front of the AC condenser. You could then use a Class I cooler, like # D12901.
If mounted behind the condenser, I would go with a Class II like # D12906. If mounted behind the radiator I would go with a Class III like # D13502. The problem is that the further away from the front of the vehicle a cooler is mounted, the less airflow it receives. The less airflow a coolers...
view full answer... - Carrying 6-8 Bikes for a Family of 6 with a 2016 Acura MDX
- To carry up to 8 bikes on your 2016 Acura MDX I recommend a combination trailer hitch mounted bike rack and roof mounted bike racks. Starting with a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer hitch # e98840, it is an excellent choice. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver so it will be compatible with many bike racks. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
Then for a bike rack I recommend a model that can hold 5 bikes such as the Swagman XP, # S64970. This rack...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller for 2014 Acura MDX
- For your 2014 Acura MDX, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller features an easy to read LCD screen, performs continuous diagnostic checks, and will automatically level when mounted within a 360 degree vertical range. This is not a wireless brake controller, and it will need to be spliced into your vehicle's existing wiring. The universal pigtail that comes with the brake controller will need to be connected to your vehicle's stoplight switch...
