The 2026 Acura RDX is rated to tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped with the Acura accessory trailer hitch. That figure is the ceiling for the trailer plus everything loaded into it, so it fits smaller loads such as a utility trailer, a jet ski or two, or a lightweight pop-up camper. For RDX owners around Ocala who need occasional towing for weekend projects or recreation, that capability adds real flexibility.

Because the RDX does not come with a factory-installed hitch, reaching the full 1,500-pound rating means adding the Acura accessory hitch and using proper trailer wiring and safety equipment. Our team can help you spec the right setup for how you plan to tow.

• Up to 1,500 pounds of maximum towing when properly equipped
• Suited to small utility trailers and personal watercraft
• Rating includes the trailer plus all of its cargo
• Requires the Acura accessory trailer hitch
• No factory-installed hitch from the plant

Behind the RDX's towing ability is a strong turbocharged powertrain. The 2026 Acura RDX is powered by a 272-horsepower 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo inline-four that also produces 280 lb-ft of torque, with much of that torque available low in the rev range for confident launches. A quick 10-speed automatic transmission keeps the engine in its sweet spot whether you are merging, passing, or pulling a light trailer.

Every 2026 RDX comes standard with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, Acura's torque-vectoring system. It sends power to the wheels with the most grip and helps the RDX stay planted and composed, which is especially reassuring when you have a trailer along for the ride.

• 280 lb-ft of torque available low in the rev range
• 10-speed automatic transmission
