Yes, the Hitch Adapter # HTAD will work with your 2004 Acura TSX that has the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11455 mounted. You are correct that it will reduce your total tongue weight capacity by 50% giving you a maximum of 100lbs of tongue weight for your bike rack and bike.
I did notice that the Aventon Level Step-Through e-bike has fenders and the 1UP USA 2inch Super Duty Single platform bike rack uses wheel mounts to hold the e-bike in place. If your bike does have these... view full answer...
If you need a total of 57 inches of crossbar length then the 58 inches of bar length that the Malone rack part # MPG202 offers would work well for you. This is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Acura TSX wagon as well.
You should note that this roof rack has a capacity of 165 lbs and you'll need to also stay under the capacity of your vehicle that's listed in the owners manual. view full answer...
The trailer hitches that are designed for the 2012 Acura TSX are all Class I hitches. This is most likely because this vehicle is not rated to support the heavier loads that a Class II or greater hitch is capable of towing.
Since you have a Sport Wagon model, the only confirmed trailer hitch to fit your vehicle is the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11085. This has a 200 pound tongue weight and 2,000 pound towing weight capacity. This is a custom fit hitch for your vehicle, so... 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...
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.

For your Class I trailer hitch receiver # C11455, you will need to use a hitch expander that is compatible with a Class I hitch. I recommend the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD which will allow you to use a bike rack made for a 2 inch receiver. You will need to account for the load capacity as using an adapter will limit the tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50%. That means your bike rack, adapter, and loaded bike(s) combined weight needs to... 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...
The Curt trailer hitch # C11496 is a fit for the 2011 Acura TSX, TL, and Honda Accord. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical isntallation of the hitch.
If you are planning on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118420. I have included a link to a video and a link to the instructions for the wiring as well. view full answer...
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...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11455 which is a fit for a 2006 Acura TSX only has a class I rating so the maximum number of bikes that can be carried is two. I am aware the weight capacity of the hitch will likely allow for more than two bikes, but the issue is actually with leverage rather than raw weight capacity. For a bike rack, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack part # C18085 is a great option. view full answer...
Trunk bike carriers are available in 2- or 3-bike sizes. A 2-bike carrier will give you some extra capacity if you ever need it for a second bike, but even if you are transporting only one bicycle the extra space on the carrier will make it easier to load and unload. I have linked an article concerning how to select a bike carrier and this may be helpful to you.

The 4 Pole Harness # C59496 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. This is a universal hardwire kit that includes a circuit tester to help with installation. Once installed, this will provide a 4-Way connector at the rear of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights.
I have also included the installation details for you to check out that will give an overview of the installation. view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the OutWay 2 Trunk Rack part # TH45JV that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2011 Acura TSX Sportwagon. So as long as the spoiler on the vehicle is a factory spoiler the rack would work very well.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

For you the Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier # TH56BV would be the best choice for your 2011 Acura TSX Wagon. This rack is one of the best racks we offer because it uses retractable, rubber coated steel cables that can be locked to your vehicle instead of straps like most trunk mounted carriers.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack part # TH56BV will not fit your 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. Instead, I recommend the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack part # Y02638 so long as you do not have the power liftgate. This is actually the only trunk mount 3-bike rack I have found to be a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The HangOut has anti sway cradles to keep your bikes from making contact with the vehicle/each other, adjustable arms to ensure the bikes are carried at a... view full answer...
Since your tow dolly has taillights on it already you shouldn't need to also have the taillights of the vehicle you are towing activate as well.
You should be good to go for towing your vehicle behind your RV with the tow dolly as long as it's taillights are functioning. view full answer...
For a cost efficient way to put a bike on your roof, I recommend starting with the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel - 50" Long # MPG201 and then adding the Swagman Fork Down # S64710. These are good cost conscious products to get you safely down the road. 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...
For tow bar wiring for your 2009 Acura TSX you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV. view full answer...
I checked with our hitch manufacturers and none of them have any exclusion for the 2012 Acura TSX so for a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C11496 for you.
Hitch bike racks are the way to go. They don't touch any painted surfaces and they provide a much more secure way of mounting the bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers... view full answer...
