Expert Answers about Acura RDX


  • Correct BaseLine Towers and BaseClip Fit Kits for Yakima Crossbars on 2020 Acura RDX
  • Absolutely! For just the Yakima BaseLine Towers for your 2020 Acura RDX you use part # Y28TR. Then for the Front BaseClip Fit Kit you will need part # Y06174 and for the rear you will use part # Y06154. For adding theft deterrence measures, I strongly recommend using the Yakima Same-Key Locks # Y07204. Pricing information will be listed on the product pages. These will work great with your existing Yakima JetStream or CoreBar Crossbars to provide you with a complete roof rack for your...

  • Do Yakima Roof Racks Fit 2023 Acura RDX
  • So we were able to determine that the 2023 Acura RDX wasn't changed from the 2022 model and we then carried over the fits from the previous year. Sometimes one of the rack manufacturers does this first and since we know they did the correct research we know that other brands will also carry over even if they haven't had a chance to test it like with the Yakima Corebar roof rack part numbers # Y00421 # Y64AR, and # Y49AR that we have listed for your 23' RDX.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2018 Acura RDX with Bare Roof
  • The best value roof rack for a 2018 Acura RDX with bare roof is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System composed of part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK337. This is a clamp-on system with custom fit so there's no modifications required and it's easy to install. It has aero crossbars which are the most widely compatible with rooftop accessories like cargo boxes/ski carriers and they produce the least amount of wind noise. If you're also looking for a ski carrier or cargo...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch that Fits 2021 Acura RDX
  • Yes we do offer a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2021 Acura RDX like with the Curt part # C95CR. I recommend this hitch for your vehicle as it has the best towing capacities and is made in the USA. If you need trailer wiring too you'd want the part # 118800 for if your vehicle has the plus 12 volt power provision or part # 119250KIT if you do not.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2007 Acura RDX
  • According to the owner's manual for your vehicle, tire chains should be installed on the front wheels only so I couldn't contradict the advice given there. Due to the low clearance, you'd want to use a cable chain with a Class S rating, which would offer the proper amount of clearance above to the wheel well and between the inside of the tire sidewall and the suspension/steering components. You don't provide the tire size, but according to the owner's manual the stock tire size is 235/55-18....

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2009 Acura RDX
  • I do have a solution for you, however there is not a hitch mounted product available for your 2009 Acura RDX that will work to transport your kayak. There are a couple of options for carrying your kayak on the roof of your Acura if it does not have factory side rails. The first, which is what I recommend, is installing a complete roof rack to use with a roof mounted kayak carrier. For a sturdy but economical system, I suggest looking at the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack. This roof rack consists...

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend for 2 Electra Path 9D Step-Through Bikes?
  • For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Acura RDX that fits your 2 Electra Path 9D bikes, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360. The Trailhead has a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and will allow you to tilt the rack (with bikes unloaded) to gain better access to your vehicle's rear hatch. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For a 2024 Acura RDX Without Roof Rails
  • I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2024 Acura RDX with the naked roof. For this you will need the Crossbars # TH711520, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH78RF. These crossbars are my favorite as they have the 2 piece channel seal which allows you to easily slide your accessories in and out of the channels without having to remove them and cut them like some other bars. I recommend getting the Locks # TH450800 to secure the rack to your roof. This will give you...

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Ski Carrier For 2017 Acura RDX With Naked Roof
  • The roof rack I recommend for your 2017 RDX is the Yakima Jetstream roof rack. This roof rack uses Black aerodynamic aluminum crossbars that are designed to dramatically reduce wind noise and vibration, and also reduce drag so it helps with fuel efficiency. This roof rack has a 165-lb weight capacity so 4 sets of skis will be no problem. Installing this roof rack will not affect the warranty of your Acura. For this roof rack you will need to order: part # Y00426 part # Y28TR part # Y06148 part...

  • Best Bike Rack for Two Biktrix Stunner LT Bikes
  • I would love to help but it is not advised to use a wheel mount bike rack with fenders so the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10003 is not your best option. Instead, I recommend taking a look at the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B. This option will allow for a 60 lb bike. It can accommodate 5" wide tires with the # SA4419 Adapter so there will be no issues with your two Biktrix Stunner LT bikes using this combination. The frame clamps will however need...

  • Can Kuat NV Bike Racks Carry Bikes with Fat Tires
  • The original Kuat NV which was part number N102 required a fat tire adapter part # APBK to carry bikes that have tires that are wider than 3 inches. The adapter fits tires up to 4-3/4 inches in width. The current version of the NV part # NV22G comes with one of these adapters. If you had two fat bikes you'd need to also get an additional part # APBK.

  • What Diameter Hitch Pin Lock Does Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack
  • The Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack # SH22G was designed to be used with the 1/2 inch hitch pin that comes with it. But we have found that the etrailer Locking Hitch Pin part # e98882 that has a 5/8 inch diameter does work.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack or Hitch Rack for 2020 Acura RDX
  • Thule does not list the Thule Outway part # TH65JV as a fit for your 2020 Acura RDX but we do have other great trunk mounted options like the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which is a fully loaded hanging style rack. Or if you wanted the platform style you'd have to go with a hitch mounted option like Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z and a hitch for your vehicle like # 76268.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2007 Acura RDX Towing an Aluminum Boat
  • I would recommend a Class III hitch, like the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, item # 13536, for your 2007 Acura RDX. Class III hitches offer the greatest range of accessories and options for towing and carrying items at the rear of your vehicle. You will also need wiring to activate the tail light system on your boat trailer. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, item # 118500, is the correct wiring harness for your vehicle and provides protection for...

  • Does Thule Motion XT Roof Cargo Box Fit Factory Crossbars of 2021 Acura RDX
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 is a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2021 Acura RDX and would be a really great choice. There are bigger boxes that will fit the crossbars but the size of the Motion XT would be ideal for your size vehicle and would be a good balance between cargo carrying capacity and allowing the rear hatch to open.

  • Is Installing Trailer Hitch on 2019 Acura RDX Difficult
  • The Draw Tite hitch # 76268 that you referenced that fits your 2019 Acura RDX is not a difficult hitch install at all. You'll have to temporarily lower the exhaust (easier than it sounds) as well as the rear spare but overall it would be no problem for someone with basic mechanical skills and tools. No cutting is required. The trailer wiring harness # 118804 for your RDX is also easier to install as well.

  • Does Curt Bike Rack Require Stabilizer Strap Plus Locking Hitch Pin Solution
  • At one point some Curt trailer hitches required the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a hitch bike rack but they recently got rid of that requirement so it's not needed. For a locking anti-rattle hitch pin the SportRack part # SR0901 has been tested by us and confirmed as a fit so it would be a great solution.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Acura RDX With Advance Package
  • I confirmed with my contact at Curt that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C95CR will fit all models of the 2021 Acura RDX and will not interfere with the spare tire on models with the Advance Package. The instructions do state that removal of the spare is required for installation, but you can then re-install the spare after the receiver is installed. The only issue you may run into is usage of the rear kick sensor; it looks like you may have to kick to one...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Bike Carrier, And Cargo Carrier For 2016 Acura RDX
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2016 RDX is the Draw-Tite, part # 75784. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. I recommend a platform-style bike carrier for your Acura. These racks provide a more stable ride and it is easier to load and unload the bikes from the carrier. I like the Swagman # S44FR as it is heavy duty and the mast folds down for rear vehicle access. I have attached a link to the bike carriers we offer you may want to check out. If you...
