Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Acura MDX

Today on this 2004 Acura MDX we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 75599. This installation will also apply for Hidden Hitch part number 87454. There is a couple of things we need to do before we can install our trailer hitch. I have taken the spare tire down to give us a little bit more working room. On the MDX we have got this rear fascia piece that is going to need to come off so the hitch sits up properly. If you come to the inboard side of the fascia piece you can see we have got multiple fasteners holding it into place. There are three push pin connectors. To remove the push pin connectors what we are going to do is take a flat head screwdriver and just slide it into the notch and what we are doing is removing the center section. There are four hex head screws. 00:56

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Acura MDX

Today on this 2010 Acura MDX we are going to install part number 13354 from Curt. First thing we need to do to get started is lower the spare tire. It makes everything a lot easier to thread the bolts in and tighten them down. The next thing we want to do is lower the exhaust. There is going to be two rubber hangers on each muffler so we are going to spray them down with some lubricant and then pry them off any way we can and then we will get to installing the hitch. You will notice that when we took down the first bumper hanger it came down pretty good already so it might be a good idea to run a strap around the exhaust components to keep them from falling down. Lets move on over to the rubber hanger. Spray it down and remove it. 00:38

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 Acura MDX

Today on this 2006 Acura MDX, we are going to install Draw-Tite hitch, part number 75599. This installation will also apply for the Hidden Hitch part number, 87454. We are underneath the vehicle, looking at the passenger side frame rail. I am going to go ahead and point out the mounting holes that we are going to be using to install the trailer hitch. As you can see here, we have three existing weld nuts here at the end of the frame, we will be using these three as our attaching points for our trailer hitch. :24

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Acura MDX

Today on this 2008 Acura MDX we are going to install part number 87474 from Hidden Hitch. This will also apply to part number 75614 from Draw-Tite. The first step involved is to lower the spare tire and we have that done already so you have a lot of room. You can already see the attaching points on the frame. The next thing we need to do is lower the exhaust because there is not quite enough room to work the hitch up in there. So lower the exhaust next and then the heat shields that are above the exhaust, we will take those down too. All of this will go back up once the hitch is installed. For the lowering of the exhaust what we are going to do is put a strap across the exhaust pipes themselves so when we lower them we can do it in a controlled manner so we do not do any damage to the exhaust system. 00:42

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Acura MDX

If you have been considering installing a hitch on your MDX for a trailer, bike rack or cargo carrier we will show you how easy it is. Some may back off when they see the instructions call for lowering the exhaust and removing the heat shield. You can do this! The video will show you how and you will save so much money doing this on your own

Acura MDX Trailer Hitch Questions and Answers

• Fixing Exhaust Rattle Between a Trailer Hitch and Exhaust on a 2006 Acura MDX Touring
  
• There are several vehicles that can run into the problem of the trailer hitch making contact with the exhaust. So what we did was make an FAQ on ways that you can fix this problem. I have included a link to it for you. This problem is more common on certain vehicles but any vehicle can be affected due to variations even amongst the same year, make, and model vehicle. The problem is not limited to Class III hitches, it could occur with any hitch size. If there is ever an option for a vehicle I

• Carrying a Motorcycle Cross Country with a 2008 Acura MDX
  
• First, to answer your question about weight distribution you need to remember that the use of weight distribution only maximizes the amount of weight the hitch can carry IF it is rated for weight distribution. It does not allow the vehicle to carry any more weight than what it is rated for (as indicated in the owners manual). So it does sound like you will be over the tongue weight capacity for a hitch mount carrier and your 500 pound bike. But there are alternative options that will work f

• Trailer Hitch and Hitch Ball Recommendation for a 2011 Acura MDX
  
• For your 2011 Acura MDX, I would recommend installing a Class III 2 inch trailer hitch like the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13354. The class III trailer hitch will give you the highest towing capacity possible for your vehicle of 4,000 lbs and it is also compatible with a wider variety of hitch mounted accessories (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc.). I have attached the installation instructions as well as an installation video of this hitch on a 2011 Acura MDX. The size of the hitch ball

• Tools Needed to Install Hidden Hitch Class III # 87474 on 2008 Acura MDX
  
• Minimal tools are required to install the Hidden Hitch Class III receiver hitch on your 2008 MDX. Having a power driver or air driver is nice, but not necessary. A 19,17 and 10mm socket wrench with extension would work just fine. A torque wrench will be necessary to ensure that the 8 bolts holding the hitch to the frame members are correctly tightened. Before inserting the bolts, you will want to ensure that the threads of the nuts welded into the vehicle frame are free of road grime and cor

• Mounting Bracket Recommendation for a 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2011 Acura MDX
  
• To attach wiring harness # 118424 to the hitch you can use a different type of mounting bracket that does not require screwing into the plastic fascia. You can install the wiring harness like in the video I have linked and then use the 4-Flat Universal Mounting Bracket, # 118149 which will just zip tie to the hitch.

• Trailer Wiring and Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2008 Acura MDX
  
• The wiring kit I would recommend you use on your 2008 Acura MDX would be the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56038. This product will plug into your vehicle and will operate the brake lights and turn signals of your trailer, check out the installation instructions I attached. I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler for your vehicle if you plan on towing.

• When installed the Curt hitch, # 13328, and the muffler will be very close together. However, since this hitch is going to be the best option for your needs, there are some measures you can take to eliminate noise, should it occur. I have included a link to an FAQ article that covers this for you. Given that the mounting locations for all of the hitches available for a 2006 Acura MDX are the same, you would likely have to take measures to stop the noise with any of the hitches, if noise was t

• Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2003 Acura MDX
  
• The Curt and Draw-Tite trailer hitches for the 2003 Acura MDX will each perform well for you. I can tell you that the Draw-Tite hitches do undergo a certain amount of extra voluntary testing that other brands do not do with their hitches. The extra 2 bolts and center mounting point on the Curt hitch do not give it additional capacity. The Curt hitch # 13328 and the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75599, are each rated at 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. Both can be used with

• Spare Tire Installation After the Curt Hitch # 13354 is Installed on a 2011 Acura MDX
  
• It sounds to me like you are just missing one small step for proper installation of the spare tire with the Curt hitch installed on your 2011 Acura MDX. Typically, with the hitch installed you will need to tilt the rearward part of the spare tire up and guide it over the top of the hitch as you raise it on the spare tire winch. This allows the tire to mount in its original location, snug to the vehicle under body.. If this procedure does not work for you, send me a photo, I will be glad to

• Comparing Curt, Valley, and Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitches for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• Out of all of the trailer hitches available for your 2008 Acura MDX, see link, the best bang for your buck is going to be the Curt hitch, # 13354, that you have referenced. Bascially, all of the hitches install in the same areas on the vehicle and have very similar designs. That puts the receiver on any of them a little recessed from the rear bumper of the vehicle. On the Curt hitch, we have done a few installations and have found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the b

This hitch will work perfectly with the rear bumper of your MDX, and will not require any cutting or modification of the bumper fascia. You can see a photo of the installed hitch by following the link to the product page. I will also link you to the install video, where you will see that the receiver opening will sit just below the rear bumper once the hitch is in place.

• Recommended Class III Receiver for 2001 Acura MDX
  
• All three Class III hitches are very similar in design, weight capacity and in the way that they would install, with the exception of the CURT Class III receiver, part # 13328. The CURT Class III has an extra mounting flange that attaches to the rear of the bumper structure. In my opinion, the greater the number of attachment points to the vehicle, the better. Any of the Class III receivers available for your MDX would have more than enough capacity to work with a 3 or 4-bike rack. For

All can be used with weight distribution to bring the capacity of the hitch up to 500/5,000 pounds. And all of them install in much the same way with an estimated installation time of 30 minutes.

With a Class I hitch you will be limited to carrying only two bikes at a time. Instead I would recommend adding a 2 inch hitch like the Hidden Hitch Class III Trailer Hitch, # 87454.

• Why is the Trailer Hitch from Acura Rated Higher than the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2008 Acura MDX
  
• The Acura hitch may be a higher rated trailer hitch than the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75614. The difference is a result of how the hitch is made, the gauge steel used, and where it attaches on the vehicle. Many times, we rate hitches based on how much the vehicle can tow, but this is not always the case. Based on how we define hitches here, both the Draw-Tite hitch and the Acura hitch would be considered Class III hitches (rated up to 6,000/600 pounds). I have included a link to an FAQ on hitc
