Depending on the exact configuration, your 2025 Acura MDX towing capacity may vary. The models with front-wheel drive (FWD) can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while the ones with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) can tow up to an additional 1,500 pounds (or 5,000 pounds total).

While the MDX trims with FWD provide a generous amount of towing power, you may want to upgrade to a configuration with SH-AWD® if you need more capacity for your travels around Katy.
The 2025 Acura MDX towing capacity is possible because of the powertrains. This SUV has 2 engines, and regardless of which engine your model is equipped with, you will still enjoy the 5,000-pound maximum capacity as long as your MDX has SH-AWD®. However, if you’d like more powerful performance on the streets of The Woodlands, you should consider the Type S Advance configuration for the 355-hp 3.0L turbo engine.
