Questions people ask

How much can a Acura ILX tow?

Acura publishes no towing rating for it: "Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer."

Can I add a hitch to the ILX?

A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Acura, there is no trailer weight the ILX is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
