Expert Answers about Acura
- Is Hollywood Racks Destination 4-Bike Rack Compatible with Factory Hitch on 2014 Acura MDX
- Yes, the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Platform Rack # HR4000 will fit any 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, including the OEM hitch on your 2014 Acura MDX.
Based on the photos I was able to find online, it appears your factory hitch isn't recessed behind the bumper very much at all, so you'll have plenty of clearance for the Destination rack to be able to fold up against your MDX when not in use, since the closest part of the rack when folded up sits 6 inches away from the center of...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Acura RDX
- No, the 2004 Acura MDX and 2015 Acura RDX require different trailer hitches. For the 2015 Acura RDX you can use Draw-tite trailer hitch # 75784. I have included a link to a video showing installation of this hitch for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop...

- Good news, the Reese 22K 5th Wheel # RP30033 will work great with the Reese Rail Adapter # RP30154 for Ram OEM Prep Packages.
This kit will convert your factory-installed, underbed 5th-wheel mounting kit from Ram truck to standard, above the bed 5th-wheel base rails. This adapter is designed to mount into your Ram OEM pucks and has a maximum capacity of 25,000lbs. It is important to note that this adapter will add 2 inches of height to the hitch.
I have attached a video for your convenience...
view full answer... - Is A Converter Required For A Vehicle Wiring Harness On A 2009 Acura TL?
- On your 2009 Acura TL a converter is indeed required so it appears the Technician was not truthful.
A converter is required when vehicles have separate wiring meaning the brake light and turn signals are sent along different wires.
Since trailers use combined wiring in which the brake light and turn signal are the same wire a converter is needed.
For your vehicle I recommend the Hopkins # 46255 which plugs into the existing connectors on your vehicle and uses its own power wire that...

- Depending on which year vehicle you buy and which trailer hitch receiver you have, you should be able to use the same receiver. Both of the following receivers are confirmed to fit 2014-2020 Acura MDXs:
-Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C13146
-Etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # e98840
I recommend replacing hardware if you go this route of re-using a hitch. Simply click on this product page # RHK and enter in the hitch info for replacement hardware
view full answer... - What Depth of Pin Hole Will Bike Rack Work on for 2019 Acura RDX
- I have never heard of a trailer hitch receiver with a pin hole depth of just 3/4" and there isn't a bike rack that is going to work with a pin hole at such a short distance.
I know this isn't the news you were looking for but the best option truly is to get the hitch you have removed and install a new one for your 2019 Acura RDX that has a pin hole plenty long enough to use either the Thule or Yakima racks listed above. You can choose from either a 1-1/4" hitch like you have now or 2"...

- Wiring harness 118336 will not work with your 1995 Acura Legend. You can use hardwire kit # C56175 to install a wiring harness in your vehicle. There is not a T-One wiring harness available for your vehicle.
view full answer... - Folding Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Fit for 2 Inch Hitch on a 2013 Acura MDX
- The etrailer Folding Cargo Carrier, # e98874, is one of the top folding cargo carriers we offer. To determine if this cargo carrier will fit on your 2013 Acura MDX, we will want to take one important measurement. You will want to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole to the rear-most edge of your bumper. This will tell us how much clearance you need for the cargo carrier to clear your bumper.
The etrailer Cargo Carrier, # e98847, measures 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch...

- I may have an alternative solution for you to carry bikes, but the short answer to your question is-Yes; there is cause for concern here. For that reason, the 20" spare tire on your 2020 Acura MDX would need to be stored inside of the vehicle when using the Curt # C13146, or any of the other hitches available for your vehicle.
Instead of using a hitch mounted bike rack you could use a trunk mounted rack like the Saris Bones EX # SA803, which is a great alternative that will provide you...
view full answer... - Fit of Thule TH6357B Force XT Roof Cargo Box on 2019 Acura RDX
- Cargo Boxes such as the Thule # TH6357B Force XT aren't vehicle specific, but if the roof rack on your 2019 Acura RDX has a bar spread (span between center of front crossbar and center of rear crossbar) that can be adjusted so it's between 23-5/8 and 33 inches apart and the crossbars are 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall or less, the Thule # TH6357B Force XT roof cargo box will work great for you.
If you click the provided link, you can see a demonstration video featuring the #...
view full answer... - Does the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar Require Parts to be Replaced for Annual Maintenance?
- I took a look at the maintenance instructions for the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates item # e67ZR. There are no parts that have to be annually replaced. You will want to lubricate the latch trigger area of the extending legs routinely but other than that the only time you will need to replace parts is when something gets damaged or worn out.
The etrailer XHD item # e67ZR is compatible with Blue Ox base plates. It has a 10,500 lbs capacity and weighs 46 lbs. This...

- 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...

- Yes, the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 will fit your 2019 Acura RDX just fine. It has a tilting feature so you can still access your cargo area with the bike rack attached and it has anti-sway cradles so you don't have to worry about the bikes rocking and hitting the vehicle. If you want to add a lock to the bike rack you can obtain the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device part # THSTL2.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch on your Acura RDX, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame...

- Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2023 Acura RDX. This mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for your Thule TopRide Bike Rack item # TH75JV. You will want the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425
Yakima SightLine Roof Rack Towers - Quantity 4 item # Y64AR

- 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... - Transmission Cooler For 2005 Acura RL
- For your 2005 Acura RL you want to select the correct transmission cooler by determining where there is enough space to mount it. If after measuring you find you have enough space, the cooler you referenced, part # D13613, would work well for you. I have attached a drawing that shows 3 positions for mounting transmission coolers. Transmission coolers are much more efficient when they are positioned to receive maximum air flow. At position 1, the transmission cooler is 100 percent efficient....
view full answer... - Will Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH614 Fit Factory Roof Crossbars on 2008 Acura MDX
- The Thule rooftop cargo box you referenced, their 14-cubic-foot Pulse Medium, part # TH614, will directly fit the factory roof crossbars on your 2008 Acura MDX without the need for any additional components. The Pulse M also will not interfere with the opening of your rear hatch. I have linked an installation video for your reference.
Although Thule does not formally test-fit their cargo boxes for antenna clearance you should not experience any disruption to your satellite navigation...
view full answer... - Does Curt Trailer Hitch For 2018 Acura RDX Require Spacer Blocks & Work With Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack
- Spacers are not needed in order to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13130 on your 2018 Acura RDX and the reason is Curt decided that the hitch would fit fine without them, even though it will push up against the underneath fascia a bit. This is in contrast to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784, which, like you pointed out, does require spacer blocks in order to ensure the hitch wasn't pushing up against that fascia.
Both will work though, and there hasn't been any...
view full answer... - Will The Hands Free Lift Gate Operate With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2023 Acura MDX?
- Yes, you will still be able to use your hands free lift gate with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR installed on your 2023 Acura MDX. The sensor is offset from the factory as they designed it to work with the factory receiver as well.
I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 when you install the receiver. This is a custom fit wiring harness which will use the factory connectors to install on your 2023 Acura MDX.
view full answer... - Does a 4-Flat Vehicle Connector Work w/ Surge Brakes on a 2019 Acura MDX?
- Yes, the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # HM11143270 will work with surge brakes. The wiring harnesses do not have any compatibility issues with surge brakes. However, I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118628 over the Hopkins connector. Tekonsha makes a more reliable product. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your MDX's junction box, which is located in...
