Question:
Wondering if this hitch will fit an Acura MDX 2005
asked by: Matt
Expert Reply:
Curt trailer hitch # C13158 is designed to fit 2010 to 2014 Subaru Legacy, all models. There are different hitches designed to fit your 2005 Acura MDX.
The Curt Class III hitch that will fit your 2005 Acura MDX is # 13328. I have linked a video that shows the hitch being installed on a 2005 Honda Pilot which is built on the same platform as the MDX.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you can use # 118336. I have linked a video showing how the wiring installs as well.
