Expert Answers about Acura MDX
- Lightweight Bike Rack Recommendation for Trek Verve+ eBike on 2012 Acura MDX
- Though you said Trek Versa+ eBike I believe you meant Trek Verve+ and for carrying that bike on your 2012 Acura MDX I strongly recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B because at 22-1/2 lbs it is one of the lightest platform racks in the industry but still has a 60 lb per bike capacity and is a highly economical choice relative to other racks capable of carrying an E-bike.
The Saris Freedom uses cradles that are adjustable along its mast so it can easily grasp your Verve+...

- The Draw Tite Hitch part # DT42MR that you referenced does require fascia cutting to install. It basically just bolts up in place like you mentioned. It also would not void the hitch warranty either.
I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

- For a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and this Fit Kit # DK400 is all you need to get a roof rack on your car. This won't help with the noise, but will give you a better place to tie down your bag to keep the water out.

view full answer... - Will the Yakima Fullback Carry 2 Adult and 1 Kids Bike on a 2013 Acura MDX
- Yes. The Yakima Fullback # Y02633 will work and is a great choice to carry your adult mountain bikes and kid's bike. I really like that the Fullback comes with a cable lock to secure the bikes and a lock to keep the rack attached to the car. For the kid's bike you will need a bike frame adapter bar like the # 64005 to allow you to carry the bike, but this is required for any type of hanging bike rack.
I've linked a review video of these two parts for you to check out if you haven't already.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mount Three Bike Rack For 2013 Acura MDX With Rear Spoiler
- If you are opposed to a trailer hitch on your MDX the trunk mount bike carrier I recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, part # HRF2-3.
This bike carrier is designed for vehicles with spoilers as you said you have on your MDX. This bike rack is designed to carry 3 bikes that weigh up to 35-lbs each. The upper frame of the bike rack extends over the spoiler, and folds down for easy storage when not in use.

view full answer... - Recommendation for 2009 Acura MDX Trailer Wiring Harness and Brake Controller
- For your 2009 Acura MDX you will start with a 4-way trailer connector if you don't already have one. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118424 which plugs into the factory wiring harness located behind the trim panel on the driver's side. I've attached a video to assist. This harness has a slightly better reputation than the Curt # C56038 which is also a fit.

- We do offer 3-bike trunk-mount racks that will fit on your 2001 Acura MDX and these can be seen by clicking on the link provided. The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV, which includes locks for the rack itself and for your 3 bikes, and which mounts using 4 vinyl-coated steel cables (instead of a half-dozen straps). A lower cost option is the Thule Gateway XT # TH78VR which is a more basic rack that does not include locks.
The trouble with trunk-mount racks is that...
view full answer... - Rooftop Cargo Box Recommendation for 178 cm Skis on a 2020 Acura MDX
- For your application I recommend going with the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B because it has 22 cu ft of cargo space, so it can handle up to 215 cm skis, and it has the Black AeroSkin finish so it looks like a matte black box. Matte black finishes tend to do a better job of hiding scuffs and scratches from road debris and they look a little more durable in general which is why I like them.
Attached is a review video of this cargo box for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Towing and Bike Rack Use Simultaneously
- Going over bumps will not increase the tongue weight pressure, but it will give additional torque to your hitch. Because of that, many adapters like a dual hitch receiver will reduce the hitch's rated tongue weight capacity by 50%. However, if you use a ball mount like # D210 instead of the dual hitch receiver like # D-192 that capacity reduction does not happen because you won't have two moving parts.
With this ball mount the torque is not transferred to the hitch in the same way. ...
