Expert Answers about Acura TSX

• Hitch and Bike Rack with Locks for 2013 Acura TSX
• 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...

• Need Inexpensive Trunk Bike Rack for 2006 Acura TSX
• Trunk bike carriers are available in 2- or 3-bike sizes.

I have linked an article concerning how to select a bike carrier and this may be helpful to you. The most cost-effective Thule option we have for your 2006 TSX is the Thule Passage 2, part # TH910XT.

• Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Acura TSX
• 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...

• 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.

• Will Hollywood Racks Over the Top Trunk Rack Fit a 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
• 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.

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2012 Acura TSX Special Edition Sedan
• 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. If you plan on towing...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for Acura 2011 TSX Sportwagon
• 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. The...

• Using a Bike Rack with 2 Inch Shank In 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Acura TSX
• 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...

• 58 inch Long Crossbar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Acura TSX
• 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.

• Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack for a 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
• 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...

• How Many Bikes Can Be Carried On a Trailer Hitch for a 2006 Acura TSX
• 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.

• Adapter for 1-1/4 Inch Hitch to 2 Inch Receiver with Rise for a 2006 Acura TSX and Bike Rack
• When we installed Hidden Hitch trailer hitch # 60831 on a 2006 Acura TSX it measured 4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to clear the rear bumper. The Curt adapter # D-192 will not fit because it only fits in 2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings. And the MaxxTow MT70355 will not fit since it was for Class II hitches. That leaves Brophy adapter # HT5R. It will fit a Class I hitch but the issue with it is that the back of the 2 inch receiver does not come out far enough to clear...

• Rise Ball Mount Recommendation for 2005 Acura TSX with Curt Trailer Hitch
• 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.
