Acura is known for its luxurious, reliable vehicles. But what about their towing capacity? Before you head to an Acura dealership to start your search for a new tow vehicle, let's take a look at which of their vehicles have the highest tow rating. more Which Acura Vehicles Have the Best Towing Capacity? Acura has three different models of SUVs to choose from. In 2024, you can choose from the RDX Premium Sport Crossover, the MDX Premium Performance SUB, and the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV. Each of these SUV models has a variety of features, as well as different tow capacities. The RDX Premium Sport Crossover has the lowest tow capacity of the three 2024 SUV models at 1,500 pounds. The ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV is next, with a tow capacity of 3,500 pounds. The MDX Premium Performance SUV has the highest tow capacity of not only the 2024 SUV models but of any Acura model. The tow rating of the MDX is 5,000 pounds. Towing With the MDX Premium Performance SUV In order to get the full 5,000-pound tow rating that the MDX Premium Performance SUV has to offer, you'll need to purchase a trim package that includes the SH-AWD powertrain. This powertrain is a rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. That means that you'll have power in all four wheels, as well as a 10-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters that will give you the power that you need to tow an RV, trailer or other gear with your Acura MDX. With the SH-AWD trim package, you'll also get a 3.5L engine, 290 horsepower, and 267 pounds per foot of torque.

Towing With the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV If you are towing less than 3,500 pounds and want the benefits of an all-electric SUV, the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV is another great choice. While the interior of this vehicle is smaller than the MDX, with just two rows and five seats instead of three rows and seven seats, it still offers a spacious and stylish interior that's great for travel. However, it's important to keep in mind that while the MDX has AWD, the ZDX has a single motor with RWD. You will get more horsepower, at 342 compared to the MDX's 290 horsepower. The ZDX also has 325 pounds per foot of torque. If you are looking to tow lighter loads and want the eco-friendly benefits of an all-electric vehicle, the ZDX is a great alternative to the MDX.
