How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a TLX often lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver for bike racks and light cargo when the door sticker agrees.
Watch on YouTube →Acura TLX Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for an Acura TLX in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 11535. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2015 through 2020 TLX years on the live card, and it is the dedicated TLX hitch we keep in stock here. Wiring is still a separate carton. We do not invent a TLX-only four-flat on this page when the live catalogue does not list one on this shelf, so confirm a live harness or converter path before night towing. Confirm ratings on the live hitch card, and keep ILX, RDX, and MDX on their own guides when those badges are on the door.
Built for Canadian Acura TLX owners and shops. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store.

CURT 11535 is the dedicated Acura TLX Class 1 hitch for listed 2015 through 2020 years, with a one and one quarter inch receiver on the live card. Pair it with a matching pin, lock, cover, and ball mount that fit a one and one quarter inch tube. Do not guess a two inch accessory into this opening. For wiring, open the harness guide and confirm a live path for your year before night towing.
