- Best Trailer Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack On A 2022 Acura RDX
- I am glad to hear the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HR4000 is working out well! this has been a very well liked rack and personally, I have not had a single complaint about it.
With that said, you will want the American made Curt # C95CR hitch for your 2022 Acura RDX. This will require no drilling or trimming to get installed and will be a pretty quick and easy install. This will have absolutely no problem carrying your bike rack either.

- I wish we could get you just the part you need but Rhino Rack does not have replacement parts for their roof rack fit kits so the only thing that would get you what you need would be a new fit kit # DK431.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Acura RDX
- The trailer hitch # C12083 is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. But your 2016 Acura RDX could be rated differently. In this case you always go by the lower rating. I checked the owner's manual for the 2016 RDX and it is rated for 1,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 150 pounds tongue weight so you would be limited to that.
Acura has determined that the vehicle design makes the vehicle capable of no more than 1,500 pounds.
If you go with Curt trailer...

- For your Thule 912 you have to go with the 2 inch adapter that is specifically designed for it part # 853-7292 that you mentioned. We can't ever recommend any modifications that would void the warranty of your bike rack and not using the correct replacement part would do that.
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Increase Ground on a 2014 Acura MDX Carrying a Cargo Carrier
- Ball mounts like the part # MT70066 will give you additional 5-1/2 inches of rise, but it also will push the hitch cargo carrier out an additional 8 inches which can at least partially offset the additional rise achieved.
A set of Timbrens part # THROD2 will give you additional rear suspension support which will help with the sag from the weight of the cargo carrier and snow blower. This will help with ground clearance.

- Good news, this Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR will work for your 2013 Acura RDX.
The hitch I recommend for you is the Drawtite Class III # 75784. This 2 inch hitch has a 400lb tongue weight, which will work good for your carbon bikes and the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR. I have linked all the hitches for your vehicle for your convenience, there is a higher rated tongue weighted hitch from Curt # C13130. Curt highly recommends that you use a stabilizing strap # 18050 with any none trailer load,...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for 2020 Acura MDX
- For your 2020 Acura MDX, I recommend starting with the trailer hitch receiver # e98840 if you don't already have it. Then for your street bikes, I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # RKY10003 which will hold both the wheels and frames in place for secure transport. It includes locks so your bikes will be secure. I have attached a video of this installation to assist.
view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Wiring for a 2015 Acura TLX Short Out
- The only people that have problems with the Curt trailer wiring part # C56496 burning out are the ones who do not properly secure the converter box. If the box comes loose and starts banging around it will eventually burn out. Aside from that it is an excellent option that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
We don't have any confirmed fit T-connector style harnesses for your vehicle so I am not sure if they have your vehicle confused with a different one like a regular TL.
view full answer... - What Bike Rack do You Recommend for 2 Electra Path 9D Step-Through Bikes?
- For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Acura RDX that fits your 2 Electra Path 9D bikes, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360. The Trailhead has a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and will allow you to tilt the rack (with bikes unloaded) to gain better access to your vehicle's rear hatch. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
- You are correct about the trailer hitch and hitch mount bike racks for your 2012 Acura TSX. Class I trailer hitches available for your TSX can only hold 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes I recommend a trunk mount rack, see link. A trunk mount rack is a more economical solution and they fit many vehicles (but not all).
Out of all of the 3 bike options my favorite is the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I own this rack and I have to say that it is the easiest to use trunk mount rack that I have come across....

- To start with, the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Item # TH934XTR is definitely a nice hanging rack option. This is American made and has a Lifetime Warranty, but it does not include locks and getting the bikes on the rack can be a little difficult.
Personally, I prefer platform style racks like the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683. Though not American made, this does include locks that lock the bike rack to the...
view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way Connector and Trailer Brake Controller for 2008 Acura MDX
- Since your 2008 Acura MDX is already equipped with a 4-Way connector, you will just need the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to convert it to a fully functional 7-Way. This kit includes everything necessary to do this along with the extra wiring and circuit breakers required for installing a trailer brake controller. I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also take a look at.
Then for the brake controller I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This...
view full answer... - Which Hitch for 2015 Acura TLX Weighs Less Curt or Draw Tite
- The Curt hitch part # C11535 weighs 29 lbs and the Draw Tite part # 24942 weighs in at 26 lbs so the weight is about same. Both of these are fits for your 2015 Acura TLX.
Ground clearance is going to be about the same for either as they both are designed to tuck right under the rear bumper.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Acura RDX
- The Curt Hitch part # 13536 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for your 2007 Acura RDX and would work great with the Swagman Trailhead bike rack part # S63360.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier for Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2004 Acura TL
- All of the trailer hitches for your 2004 Acura TL are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. There is an adapter to go from a 1-1/4 to a 2 inch, # HTAD. However, the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent.
So if you had hitch # 24755 it is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight. The use of the adapter reduces that down to 100 pounds. If the carrier weighs 30 pounds then you are left with just 70 pounds you could carry on your cargo carrier.

view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Acura TL
- I have a solution for you, but I checked with Yakima and the Quickback part # Y02622 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2003 Acura TL so I cannot safely recommend it for you.
Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 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...
view full answer... - Recommended 2-Inch Trailer Hitch for Transporting Bikes on 2013 Acura RDX
- Your 2013 Acura RDX can be fitted with two sizes/classes of trailer hitch, either a lighter-duty 1-1/4-inch Class II type like # C12083 or a higher-capacity 2-inch Class III type like # 75784. Some Curt brand hitches do have a warranty requirement of using their support strap # 18050 with loads like bike racks, but since the Draw-Tite # 75784 has no such requirement I recommend this 2-inch hitch.
The written instructions and a video are linked to illustrate the installation process.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2013 Acura TL
- Since you are concerned about voiding the warranty of your TL, I recommend checking the towing section in your owners manual if you plan on installing a trailer hitch to tow a trailer. Honda states that the Acura TL was not designed for towing and doing so could void the warranty. That is something to keep in mind before installing a trailer hitch or trailer wiring harness.
If you want a wiring harness because you will be carrying a hitch mounted cargo carrier with additional lights,...
