Absolutely! For your 2016 Acura TLX I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24942. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I have included a link to the instructions for you.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Check the vehicle owner's manual to see if towing... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24942 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD. The bumper is different than the one in our photo, so I've attached what we have. You bumper will have a better look simply because of the black trim to allow less contrast and a more hidden look. The Curt hitch 11409 has been replaced with the Curt # C11535 which will be far less hidden by design as you stated. Trimming will be required with... view full answer...
The 2020 Acura TLX can be dolly towed if it's FWD. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045 which has a foldable tongue for easy storage. It also has surge brakes so there's no need for a brake controller. view full answer...
The only people that have problems with the Curt trailer wiring part # C56496 burning out are the ones who do not properly secure the converter box. If the box comes loose and starts banging around it will eventually burn out. Aside from that it is an excellent option that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
We don't have any confirmed fit T-connector style harnesses for your vehicle so I am not sure if they have your vehicle confused with a different one like a regular TL. view full answer...
I wish we could get you just the part you need but Rhino Rack does not have replacement parts for their roof rack fit kits so the only thing that would get you what you need would be a new fit kit # DK431. view full answer...
While we don't have an install video (yet) for the Draw Tite hitch # DT68GR that fits your 2021 Acura TLX we do have a set of very detailed instructions that I linked on this page that have real pictures from the install that will walk you through this step by step. Draw Tite states that the install would take a little over an hour. view full answer...
I know what you're talking about, I've done that a time or ten myself, and it hurts!
At present (July 2020) the Curt # C11535 is the only confirmed fit offered for the 2020 TLX. The Draw-Tite # 24942 isn't a confirmed fit for the 2020 model, and although there haven't been any appreciable changes between the 2019 and 2020 TLX, I can't guarantee the Draw-Tite will fit because the manufacturer hasn't confirmed it yet. When we installed in on a 2016 TLX, we found that the distance from the... view full answer...
The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style # TH910XT actually is not a fit for your 2017 Acura TLX, unfortunately, however I do still have another option for you!
Instead, I recommend checking out the:
-Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rac # Y02634.
This bike rack has the same 2 bike capacity as the Thule Passage, with a maximum capacity of 35-lbs per bike, and also has an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to fit the shape of your trunk or hatch.
Included are... view full answer...
The only trailer hitch fits available for your 2020 Acura TLX are the Class I hitches with the 1-1/4" receiver from Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942.
I recommend going with the one from Draw-Tite because it has a hidden crosstube which gives you a cleaner look as well as better ground clearance.
If you were planning on using this for a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Kuat Beta # B202-114 because it weighs in at 12.6 lbs, can fold up compact for simple storage, and it's... view full answer...
The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2015 Acura TLX is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118697 which is a direct plug-in-play fit with no splicing required. This kit provides a standard 4-way flat which is most common and widely used. It plugs in behind the tail lights and then you must run a power wire up to the battery but aside from this it's an easy install.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch picked out I recommend the Curt... view full answer...
The Kuat Transfer part # KU74FR weighs 47 lbs. The Thule T2 Classic # TH9044-TH9046 weighs 50 lbs when set up to carry 2 bikes and 85 lbs when set up to carry 4 bikes.
The Kuat Transfer is a great bike rack. It is really selling well for us because of it's relative light weight and the fact that it only touches the bike at the tires. It's a bit more stripped down that the other racks but that's part of why it weighs less. Only real downside is that it has a lower weight capacity at 40... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C11535 weighs 29 lbs and the Draw Tite part # 24942 weighs in at 26 lbs so the weight is about same. Both of these are fits for your 2015 Acura TLX.
Ground clearance is going to be about the same for either as they both are designed to tuck right under the rear bumper. view full answer...
What coupler do you have? All of the coupler kits you mentioned are fit for specific couplers and without knowing what you have I can't recommend a fit. view full answer...
At this time (January 2017) the only hitch we have confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Acura TLX is the Curt hitch part # C11535 which is a Class I hitch. Due to the age of your vehicle it doesn't seem likely there will be more hitch fits released for it since typically Draw Tite would have already came out with a fit by now. view full answer...
For a rubber hitch cover that will work perfectly with the Class I Curt trailer hitch installed on your 2015 Acura TLX, I recommend the Curt # C22271 or the etrailer.com # 22281. Either option will push right into the hitch receiver to protect it from dirt and debris when you aren't using it for towing.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these covers that you can also check out. view full answer...
