Expert Answers about Acura MDX


  • How to Increase Height of Trailer Hitch Ball to Allow Boat Trailer to be Towed Level
  • Ideally a hitched trailer will be level to the ground. We often recommend starting off with the hitch ball being a bit higher - an inch or so - than the top of the coupler on the level trailer since once hitched there will be a degree of squat in the rear of the tow vehicle from the trailer tongue weight. This is perfectly acceptable. You can select a different ball mount for your hitch that gives you additional height (rise) by using the link provided at right. For example, if you want...

  • 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.

  • Best Hitch Receiver for a Acura 2022 MDX Type S
  • I have confirmed with Curt that the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C22HR does fit all models of the 2022 Acura MDX including the S model. If you need a wiring harness you will want the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C27BR. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Items Needed to Equip 2005 Acura MDX with Brake Controller for Towing Travel Trailer
  • We can help you get your 2005 Acura MDX ready for towing your travel trailer. The maximum rated towing capacity for the vehicle is 4500-lbs but you can check your owner's manual to make certain your particular MDX has the needed capacity for your 3500-lb trailer. Since your travel trailer has what's called a 7-way RV-style plug that includes a circuit for trailer brakes (please see the linked photo) you will need to install a mating 7-way socket on the MDX.

  • Parts Needed to Install a P3 Trailer Brake Controller in a 2014 Acura MDX with Factory 7-Way
  • If any harness is going to work, it is the # 3070-P, since it fits the 2014 Honda Pilot which is the Honda cousin of the MDX. But it has not been officially confirmed to fit the MDX so I cannot guarantee that it will fit. I recommend hardwiring in a controller using wiring kit # 5506. You would remove the wire in the 7 oclock position attached to the back of the factory 7-Way. You would then install the wire included with # 5506 in its spot (the included wire actually has 2 wires in it,...

  • Determining Size of Bearing Protector Needed for 2001 Load Rite Trailer
  • The best way to determine the size of bearing buddy needed would be to take a highly accurate measurement of your hub bore using a digital caliper. I have edited a photo for you that shows this dimension. If you happened to know the reference number from your outer wheel bearings, the proper bearing protector could be determined. If you would care to reply with either the hub bore dimension or the outer bearing number, I would be happy to suggest a bearing protector for you.

  • Recommended Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Hitch on 2018 Acura MDX
  • I recommend looking at the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches # SR25219, which is going to give you the security you need and does a great job at eliminating rattle on hitch mounted accessories. There really isn't an inconspicuous locking hitch pin, but the black lock body on this pin does a fairly good job of blending in with your hitch. I've linked a review video of this locking hitch pin for you to check out.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 Fit With A 19 Inch Spare Tire On A 2015 Acura MDX
  • When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 onto your 2015 Acura MDX your 19 inch spare tire will not be able to be stowed underneath the vehicle. There will be no hitches available that will fir your 19 inch spare tire. What you will need to do is go to your local Acura dealer and pick up a 17 inch spare wheel and tire to be mounted underneath. If you keep your 19 inch tire you will have to stow it in the rear cargo area. The Curt trailer hitch has a bolt on installation and is manufactured...

  • How to Install a 7-Way and Brake Controller on a 2007 Acura MDX with 4-Way Trailer Connector
  • The 2007 Acura MDX is actually similar to the Honda Pilot and not so much the Ridgeline. But manufacturers have not confirmed that any parts for the Pilot will work on the MDX. To install a brake controller you will need to hardwire one in. To do this you will need installation kit # ETBC7 and a brake controller. I have included a couple of links to the right that show and explain the ETBC7 installation. For a brake controller I recommend the P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular...
