Recommended Setup to Haul Two 105 lb Mopeds With 2011 Acura MDX  

Question:

What do you recommend for my 2011 Acura MDX for hauling my two 105lb mopeds? It seems like that NV22 would be sturdier enough, but its only rated for 60 lbs per bike.

I do have a solution for you, but there are no bike rack options that will hold up two 105 lb Mopeds. It is just too much weight.

What you will need to do is get a small utility trailer, like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7, and haul your Mopeds around in that. To do this with your 2011 Acura MDX you will need a trailer hitch receiver, a ball mount and hitch ball, and a trailer wiring kit.

If you do not already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75614 which is a Class III receiver with a 2 inch receiver opening. Keep in mind that this will not fit with a full-size spare tire.

For a ball mount you can use a Ball Mount Kit, like part # 989900, which comes with 2 Ball Mounts, one with a 3/4" Rise and 2" Drop and another with a 2-3/4" Rise and a 4" Drop, 2 Hitch Balls, a 1-7/8" Diameter and a 2" Diameter, a Hitch Pin and Clip, and also a Storage Bag. You will want to look at the attached article on choosing the correct ball mount to make sure that either of these will work for your application.

For wiring I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118424.

I have attached installation videos for you to check out.
