Expert Answers about Acura TLX

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitch on 2016 Acura TLX
  • There is a photo available showing what the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11535 will look like when installed on a 2016 Acura TLX, which is from the linked installation instructions for this hitch. The crosstube does show with the Curt hitch so if you were looking for a hitch that had a concealed crosstube you will need the Draw-Tite # 24942; I have added a photo we did from an install of this hitch on a '16 TLX so you can take a look at the difference. Each of these hitches is a Class I with...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack For A 2017 Acura TLX
  • The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style # TH910XT actually is not a fit for your 2017 Acura TLX, unfortunately, however I do still have another option for you! Instead, I recommend checking out the: -Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rac # Y02634. This bike rack has the same 2 bike capacity as the Thule Passage, with a maximum capacity of 35-lbs per bike, and also has an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to fit the shape of your trunk or hatch. Included are...

  • Can a 2020 Acura TLX Be Dolly Towed
  • The 2020 Acura TLX can be dolly towed if it's FWD. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045 which has a foldable tongue for easy storage. It also has surge brakes so there's no need for a brake controller.

  • Receiver Hitch for 2016 Acura TLX
  • Thanks for reaching out Quan. Unfortunately, we no longer carry the Drawtite 24942. We have had to phase our Drawtite parts due to some issues with their parent company. Once those parts are out of stock, we are not able to replenish them. We do carry the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11535 which will fit your 2016 Acura TLX. This is a 1-1/4" receiver that will tow up to 2,000 lbs and support 200 lbs of tongue weight. You would still need to adhere to any weight capacities dictated...

  • Will The Draw-Tite Hitch DT68GR For 2021 Acura TLX Be Able To Tow A Jet Ski?
  • Hello Henry, thanks for getting in touch. The Draw-Tite Class 1 Hitch # DT68GR for the 2021 Acura TLX has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. Most jet skis weigh like 300-900 lbs max so the hitch can easily tow a small trailer and a jet ski. As long as the combined weight of the trailer and the jet ski is less than 2,000 lbs you will be good to go. Since you plan to tow a trailer you will also need the Curt T-Connector # C45RV. Also get the etrailer Ball Mount # e47DR if you don't have one...

  • Best Surfboard Carrier For the 2020 Acura TLX Sedan
  • Juliane, it's nice to hear from you. Personally, I think the LockRack surfboard carrier part # LR97VR is a great option to carry your surfboard. We we were able to put one of these on my roof rack one day and it was super user intuitive. The arms basically lock around the shape of your surf board so it's nice and secure. If you don't already have a roof rack on your Acura, you will need Inno Aero Roof Rack for Naked Roofs part # IN55NR.

  • 2018 Acura TLX Wiring Harness Recommendation and Install Video Availability
  • Hey David, thanks for reaching out! We don't currently have an installation video of any trailer wiring kits on a 2018 Acura TLX. With that being said, I recommend picking up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118697 because it tees in behind your tail lights and draws power directly from the battery via a designated wire. For someone who's new to wiring you can count on it taking about an hour, but if you're familiar with wiring you'll be looking at about 30 minutes. If this is completely...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Have A Stop Tab
  • Hey George yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Htich # 24942 does have the stop tab built into the receiver tube. I did a quick bit of research on your 1UP rack and it looks like it was actually designed to work with 1.25" receivers so you won't have any issues with the tab and it should slide all the way in.

  • 2022 Acura TLX Type S Hitch Fitment
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT68GR has been confirmed by Draw-Tite to fit all models of the 2022 Acura TLX, including the Type S. If you were planning on using this for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR because of the unique U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to load/unload your bikes. Attached is a review video of the Transfer V2 for you to check out.

  • 2021 Acura TLX Trailer Hitch Fitment and Installation Difficulty
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT68GR doesn't have any reviews as of yet (February 2022) since it's a newer trailer hitch, but according to Draw-Tite their hitch should take an experienced installer about 60 minutes to install on your 2021 Acura TLX. If you aren't experienced that time will be increased. I would say 60 minutes is about average time when it comes to hitches. They aren't super difficult to install, they just have a number of steps is all. Attached is a...

  • Can I Install a 2" Hitch on My 2020 Acura TLX
  • The only trailer hitch fits available for your 2020 Acura TLX are the Class I hitches with the 1-1/4" receiver from Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942. I recommend going with the one from Draw-Tite because it has a hidden crosstube which gives you a cleaner look as well as better ground clearance. If you were planning on using this for a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Kuat Beta # B202-114 because it weighs in at 12.6 lbs, can fold up compact for simple storage, and it's...

  • Recommended 2020 Acura TLX Hitch Receiver
  • I know what you're talking about, I've done that a time or ten myself, and it hurts! At present (July 2020) the Curt # C11535 is the only confirmed fit offered for the 2020 TLX. The Draw-Tite # 24942 isn't a confirmed fit for the 2020 model, and although there haven't been any appreciable changes between the 2019 and 2020 TLX, I can't guarantee the Draw-Tite will fit because the manufacturer hasn't confirmed it yet. When we installed in on a 2016 TLX, we found that the distance from the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24942 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD. The bumper is different than the one in our photo, so I've attached what we have. You bumper will have a better look simply because of the black trim to allow less contrast and a more hidden look. The Curt hitch 11409 has been replaced with the Curt # C11535 which will be far less hidden by design as you stated. Trimming will be required with...

  • How to Determine Correct Hub With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern for Trailer
  • I can tell you how to determine the correct hub for your trailer, and you should be able to get one with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, but it really depends on the spindle that is currently on the trailer. You do need to know the weight rating of your axle, as well as what bearings your current hub has. To do this, you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly...

The instructions state it will take a professional about an hour to complete the install. I have linked the instructions and an installation video.
