Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With a 2004 Acura TSX
Question:
I have a 2004 Acura TSX that I would like to purchase this hitch for. I would like to use it to tow a small trailer with my 390lb ATV on. Do you think this hitch would do the job fine or do you have a different recommendation?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11455 is actually the only trailer hitch offered for a 2004 Acura TSX so you don't have much of a choice but it will work just fine to pull a small trailer as it is rated for up to 2,000 lbs. I have attached an install video for you which should help immensely with the installation process.
In order to complete your towing setup you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C59236 and a ball mount/hitch ball, the Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521 with the Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip part # F-4 and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball part # A-80.
