Question:
Hello- I am considering purchase of the Curt Item # C56038 harness and Curt Item # 13354 hitch to tow a 2 waverunner trailer on my 2012 Acura MDX. What other items would I need to purchase to be trailer ready? Is the trailer ball / rail size determined by the trailer itself?

Expert Reply:
Curt trailer hitch # 13354 and wiring harness # C56038 will work great on your 2012 Acura MDX. In addition to these parts I also recommend 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. I have also included some helpful links on hitches and towing for you.
