Expert Answers about Acura


  • Recommended Hitch and Towing Components for 2004 Acura TL
  • It sounds like you are looking for a trailer hitch and related towing parts to pull a trailer with your 2004 Acura TL. We do offer light-duty Class I hitches for your car and all can be seen on the linked page. The one I suggest for the best appearance on the car (in other words the hitch that will be least visible) is the Curt # 11321. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is part # C45521, and with it you can use either 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # A-80 or 2-inch ball # A-82. For...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Will Work With a Full-Size Spare On A 2022 Acura MDX?
  • Unfortunately, none of the hitches we carry for your Acura MDX is going to work with your full size spare tire. You can still use a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR you'd just have to remove the spare and won't be able to re-install it. Seeing as though that isn't really the best option, I recommend instead getting rid of your hitch bike rack and get a trunk mounted rack instead. Something like the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2139 would work great...

  • How to Install the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack on a 2012 Acura MDX
  • The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, does not require the glass hatch hooks like Yakima's older bike rack models. Instead, the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode. To install the top straps in anchor mode, you will want to run the strap through the slot in the hook and then install the strap into the bike rack. This process is outlined in the included instructions on page 4. Please note, the headliner can become deformed or damaged under prolonged contact with...

  • Is the Dealer Acura Relay Required to Install Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2014 Acura MDX
  • If your 2014 Acura MDX did not come with the factory tow package then you would likely need to get the relay from an Acura dealer to install trailer wiring harness # C56192. It is possible though that an auto parts store would have an aftermarket relay. You can check your vehicle owners manual for the relay location to see if it is present on your model.

  • Parts Needed to Equip 2010 Acura RDX to Tow Trailer with Electric Drum Brakes
  • I can help you select the components needed to equip your 2010 Acura RDX to tow a small trailer with electric brakes. For a 2-inch hitch I suggest the no-drill installation Draw-Tite # 75784 which offers a 4000-lb towing capacity (check your RDX owner's manual for the car's rating). If you have no trailer wiring connector now you can use 4-pole kit # 118500 along with our brake controller install kit # ETBC7. These two parts include all components needed to have a functional 7-way trailer...

  • Recommended 2 Inch Hitch for 2013 Acura RDX
  • Yes. I recommend using the Curt # C13130 because of the durability of the powder coating on their hitches. This has a 2" receiver that provides you with a better variety of hitch mounted accessories and is much better suited for towing if the need arises. If you're going to be towing, I've listed the appropriate wiring harness and other parts you'll need to complete your towing setup below. Wiring: # 118569 (Tekonsha has the most reliable converter boxes) Ball Mount/Hitch Ball: # 989900...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX
  • I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler for your vehicle if you plan on towing. The factory transmission cooler is often adequate at best for non-towing situations, so a supplemental cooler would greatly help extend the life of your transmission. Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, you will need to measure the area in front of your radiator to determine what size cooler will fit and pick the one with those dimensions. If you can fit it, I would recommend...

  • Prodigy RF Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Acura MDX with Factory 7-Way Wiring
  • In your 2015 Acura MDX with a factory-installed 7-way wiring setup the best trailer brake controller to use is the Curt Echo # C51180. You will not have to crawl under the dash to find a connector (there isn't one on this vehicle) since the Echo offers wireless operation and simply plugs into the the Acura's existing 7-Way. The controller then gets paired to your smart phone and this is what is used to adjust any settings or activate the manual override. Otherwise the Echo will automatically...

  • Which GoPower Solar Panels for 2021 Forest River Rockwood Freedom Pop-Up Series 2318G
  • If your 2021 Rockwood Freedom has a GoPower plug already installed, then all you'll need is the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 90 Watt Solar Panel # 34282729 you were looking at.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2002 Acura TL
  • Since you're looking for something more versatile than standard tire chains, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains # TC1840 is what I'd go for. These tire chains will work with the stock 205/60-16 tires on your 2002 Acura TL, has a V-bar-style twist links are studded that'll bite into frozen roads, and has a ladder pattern which gives it great traction in snow, mud, ice, and boggy off-road areas.

  • Adding 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector to 2010 Acura MDX with Existing 4-Way Flat
  • I have a solution for you to tow your boat trailer that has a 5-Way flat connector, however there is not a custom wiring harness to plug into your 2010 Acura MDX that comes with a 5-Way plug. In order to convert your vehicle's wiring from a 4-Way flat to a 5-Way flat, you will want to use an adapter such as the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 47515. This adapter will plug into your existing 4-Way and includes an additional wire that will be spliced into your...

  • Recommended Solution for Lost Key on Sears SV Cargo Carrier
  • Typically if there's not a lock number available then there's no way to know what replacement key is needed; if the lock is already unlocked then the best solution would be just to replace the lock completely. You could likely use the # SR03807, but if you can provide a photo of which locking mechanism your Sears cargo carrier used I can help you locate the correct part. If your lock is not unlocked then it would need to be drilled out and removed so that you could replace it.

  • Battery Disconnect Switch For Winnebago Motorhome
  • We do not have that exact battery disconnect relay you are referencing, however, we have the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766. This disconnect switch will work with almost all 12V batteries and comes pre-assembled for ease of installation. This product, however, should only be installed on the towed vehicle in which a battery must be disconnected for towing.

  • Recommended Replacement 7-Way Mounting Bracket for a 2013 Acura MDX
  • We aren't going to have an exact OEM replacement, however you could just use the Hopkins Universal Mounting Bracket for 7-Way and 6-Way Trailer Connectors # HM48625 which is a universal bracket that'll work just the same. This bracket measures 3 3/8" across, 3 7/8" tall and the mounting holes on the top of the bracket are 2 1/4" center to center.

  • Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Acura RDX w/ an 18 Inch Spare Tire
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 76268 does fit your 2022 Acura RDX. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Acura with included hardware. Since you have the 18' spare tire you will have no problems with this hitch. The issue comes from the RDX's with the larger spare tires. Yours will fit neatly back where it sits now once the hitch is installed.
