What is the 2016 Acura MDX towing capacity?

I love huge SUVs. I’ve always owned a Suburban or an Expedition. But now that I have an empty nest, I don’t need a massive gas guzzler. I test drove an Acura MDX and I love it, but I’m worried it doesn’t have enough power to tow anything. Should I be worried? How much can the 2016 Acura MDX actually tow?

The Suburban and Expedition or truly hauling machines, but don’t sleep on the 2016
Acura MDX
. Despite its smaller stature, the 2016 Acura MDX has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. That puts it in the upper echelon of crossovers, and it should be enough capacity to tow almost anything you want.
Under the hood, the 2016 Acura MDX sports a 3.5-liter V-6. While it’s not the monster V-8 you find in full-size SUVs, it still provides 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. That’s more than enough to satisfy your voracious appetite for towing and speed.
With enough towing power for most trailers, campers, and boats, the 2016 Acura MDX should satisfy all your needs. But don’t forget to insure your new purchase by shopping around with the
