• Does Thule Camber 4-Bike Rack Come With a Warranty
• The Thule Camber 4-Bike Rack # TH9056 does come with a lifetime warranty. This means you are totally protected from any defects in workmanship; however, Thule products are among the most high-quality in the industry so the chances this warranty will ever come into play is very slim.

• Alternative to etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Acura MDX
• There is - as of this writing - a long scheduled wait time for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 that fits your 2017 Acura MDX, but we do have an alternative for you.

• Recommended Hitch, Trailer Wiring Harness and Towing Accessories for 2016 Acura MDX
• Because many folks use the trailer hitch as a mounting location for hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers, we sell the trailer hitch and the trailer wiring harnesses separately. The etrailer # e98840 would be a great choice for your 2016 Acura MDX, most of the hitch would be hidden behind the rear bumper except for the receiver tube.

• New Trailer Hitch Is Touching Exhaust On 2005 Acura MDX
• There are a couple of ways you can fix the problem with the exhaust touching the new trailer hitch. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to eliminate the rattle caused by this problem.

If that does not take care of the issue, you can replace the rubber hangers for the exhaust. Over time these can...

• The vehicle manufacturers tow rating is always going to be the final word as far as towing capacity goes. In some cases using a weight distribution system can raise the towing capacity of a given receiver hitch, but it will not be able to raise the capacity of the vehicle. It might be possible to redistribute some of the cargo on the trailer further rearward so that the tongue weight is reduced below 500 lbs, in which case towing that particular trailer would be acceptable.
