You are correct about the trailer hitch and hitch mount bike racks for your 2012 Acura TSX. Class I trailer hitches available for your TSX can only hold 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes I recommend a trunk mount rack, see link. A trunk mount rack is a more economical solution and they fit many vehicles (but not all).
Out of all of the 3 bike options my favorite is the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I own this rack and I have to say that it is the easiest to use trunk mount rack that I have come across.... view full answer...
Typically we recommend using a kayak carrier when hauling a kayak on a roof rack, but you can certainly load your kayak directly on the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack, # SR1099, on your 2011 Acura TSX wagon. If you will not be using a kayak carrier, then you will want to be sure the kayak is strapped to each crossbar and be sure you are using bow and stern tie downs to keep the kayak from sliding forward and backward.
I would recommend using a kayak carrier like the Rightline Gear Kayak... view full answer...
Yes, Thule says the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, is a fit for your 2008 Acura TSX.
In addition to the bike rack you may need to use a bike adapter bar, part # TH982XT, if you will be carrying women's, children's or alternative-framed bicycles. The Thule Adapter Bar allows you to carry those types of bicycles level on your bike rack, see video link. view full answer...
There are a few steps to note when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11455, on your 2004 Acura TSX. You will not need to modify the exhaust at all, but you will need to lower the exhaust during installation and remove the exhaust heat shields from both sides. You may also need to drill or file the access holes on the vehicle frame so the carriage bolts will fit.
The carriage bolts will need to be fished through the frame using a fishwire tool. Once you have the hitch installed, you... view full answer...
I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Over the Top part # HRF2 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. The great thing about this rack for your application is that it is designed specifically to work on vehicles with spoiler and would not contact your spoiler at all.
I attached a review video for you to check for more info as well.

I do have some options for you, but you will need to use a combination of equipment to be able to use crossbars on both your 2011 Acura TSX and your 2014 Audi SQ5.
The Inno roof rack that you will want to use on your Acura is:
Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB123-130
Inno Through Feet - # INXS150
The Inno roof rack that you will want to use on your Audi is:
Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2
Inno Through Feet - # INXS450
Inno Custom Fit Kit - # INTR138

Yakima would be the authority on the fits of their trunk racks on vehicles so yes the Fullback for 2-bikes # Y02634 and for 3 bikes are both a confirmed fit for your 2004 Acura TSX. This had been an error on our site but it has been fixed. view full answer...
All of the trailer hitches for your 2010 Acura TSX are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers so in order to use an accessory, such as a bike rack, that has a 2 inch shank you would have to use an adapter, # HTAD. But the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.
So for example if you used Curt hitch # C11496, which has a tongue weight capacity is 200 pounds. But when using the adapter the capacity will be reduced to 100 pounds. As long as the... view full answer...
We can help you with tire chains for your 2010 TSX!
Your first step when considering tire chains on any vehicle is a check of the owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding their use. Many passenger cars are limited to using special low-profile S-Class chains that do not require too much wheel well clearance, which you note is the case on your TSX. Before purchasing any tire chain check your vehicle's manual carefully and if in doubt speak to your local dealership. The auto... view full answer...
On your 2010 Acura TSX we offer Rhino-Rack roof racks.
For the Vortex aero crossbars, part # RRVA126B-2 would fit your Acura. You would also need the legs part # RRRLKVA, and the custom clamps and pads are part # DK175.
Another style of the Vortex Aero roof rack is Part # RR45YR.
As you can see, there are a couple different style roof racks that are designed to fit your Acura. If any of these components match the roof rack you had on your Audi, let me know and I will be happy to recommend... view full answer...
For the Class I hitches like the Curt # C11455 that fits your 2005 Acura TSX you have to use only the recommended ball mount in the recommended rise/drop position. For your situation the recommended ball mount is the part # C45521 which you'd need to run in the rise position. This provides a rise of 2-5/8 inches.
For hitch balls you'd then want the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. view full answer...
The item you referenced, Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part 60831 is no longer available.
I would recommend going with the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11455, as it is similar design to part # 60831 and has the same load capacity.
For a compatible bike rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, I would recommend the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Steel # TH9058, which carries 2 bikes and works with both 1-1/4 or 2 Inch hitches. The Camber bike rack... view full answer...
Yes, the Hopkins Backup Sensor System part # HM60100VA can be installed on your 2011 Acura TSX but the term easily will be relative to your experience and I cannot speak on that. It will be easy for some and hard for others which all depends on your experience. Unfortunately, we have not yet installed this unit on a Acura TSX so I would not have step by step instructions but if you take a look at the install video on a similar vehicle, you can get a better idea of what all is needed. view full answer...
To install a Rhino-Rack roof rack on your 2004 Acura TSX you will need to utilize the DK Fit Kit 2500 # DK008 that you referenced. You will also need legs and crossbars as well.
I am not sure what brand of kayak carrier that you have so I cannot guarantee that it will be compatible with any crossbar style, but I do recommend going with the Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA118S-2 for Silver or part # RRVA118B-2 for Black, along with the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA. The Aero design of the... view full answer...
We offer one trailer hitch for your 2012 Sport Wagon.
The trailer hitch that will work with your TSX is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11085. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
The ball mount I recommend is the Curt Drawbar, part # C45521. For the hitch ball, if you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # A-80 and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # A-82.
For trailer wiring, I recommend the TSX ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness,... view full answer...
The Curt hitch # C11085 is a fit for your 2013 Acura TSX Sportwagon and would be a great option to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. As far as a lock for a bike would go that is going to depend largely on the bike rack you pick. Most racks have specific locks that have to be used with them which sometimes are included but sometimes can be purchased separately.
For example the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FR comes with a hitch lock but if you wanted to upgrade it to a lock setup... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11085, will fit on your 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. This hitch does not require any welding and comes will all hardware needed for installation. I have attached the installation instructions and an installation video for you to check out. The vehicle in the video is different, but the installation process will be the same.
If you plan on carrying any hitch style accessories with this trailer hitch you must use the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap,... view full answer...
In the answer you are referring to it states that Curt trailer hitch # C11085 fits the TSX Sport Wagon, not the sedan. It goes on to say that the correct hitch for the sedan is # C11496. This is all still true for your 2012.
Since you have a 2012 sedan you will need hitch # C11496. There isn't any visible fascia that needs to be trimmed but underneath the vehicle there is a heat shield and trim panel that would have to be modified or trimmed for hitch installation.
