Hey Bobby! I wish I could help you but no one makes the baseplate you need to flat tow your 2016 Acura MDX. It looks like the only way you'll be able to haul it behind your Thor Axis is to use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS item # DM9713045.
I checked your owner's manual. The 2016 Acura MDX cannot be flat-towed with all four wheels behind a motorhome. This is why no one makes a baseplate for it. If yours is a front wheel drive model you can dolly tow it. If it is all wheel drive you'll have to put it on a trailer.
