The RDX towing capacity is 1,500 lbs. This level of towing ability applies to each model as the standard Turbocharged 2.0L 4cyl. available in all versions. While the RDX isn’t built to be an off-road warrior, it certainly brings some sporty characteristics. The RDX towing power is an impressive entry into the SUV segment and can help drivers tow what they need.
The engine horsepower for the RDX is 272 horsepower. The standard Turbo engine is mated to a standard 10-speed Automatic Transmission with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters on all trims. At 272 hp, drivers and passengers can feel the distinctness in a RDX driving experience. There is also an optional SH-AWD system for secure handling in challenging roadway conditions.
The curb weight for the Acura RDX is between 3,783-4,068 pounds. The curb weight depends on the drivetrain and version that is chosen. Starting with the base model, the Front-Wheel Drive weighs in at 3,783 pounds and the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive trim weighs in at 4,019 lbs. Adding the Technology package, the FWD weighs 3,790 lbs and the SH-AWD weighs in at 4,026 pounds. The A-Spec pkg. in FWD weighs 3,821lbs and the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive weighs 4,015 lbs. Finally, the Advance pkg in FWD weighs 3,829 pounds and the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive 4,068 pounds.
8.2 inches is the ground clearance of the Acura RDX. Boasting safety and stability, the RDX has strong visibility on the road to view traffic from a distance away. Plus, the clearance can help with steep driveways that may give lower vehicles some trouble.

From the very first day of my arrival, I felt welcomed, and the level of customer service was outstanding. It truly made me feel that I was at the right dealership. Keep up the great work, Bridet Locklin; your exceptional customer service has not gone unnoticed.
We have been Acura only owners since 2000, and all of our Acuras have been serviced at Sterling McCall and its previous company at the SW 59 freeway location in Houston. We believe them to be honest and we have never had to bring back a car for the service they had just completed.

We have been Acura only owners since 2000, and all of our Acuras have been serviced at Sterling McCall and its previous company at the SW 59 freeway location in Houston. We believe them to be honest and we have never had to bring back a car for the service they had just completed. In the last several years David Gilbert has been our Service Agent and he has been terrific. He is responsive when I contact him and he explains issues very well. He is pleasant, and no matter how busy things can be at the service center, he never rushes me or acts rattled. David is one of the main reasons we still come to this acura location as we have moved further away and have a different acura nearer to us. Pls give David KUDOS for his job performance!
