2007 Acura MDX: What is the towing capacity including torque, payload, and tongue weight?

The 2007 Acura MDX has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs which is a pretty big increase from the previous year when it was at 3,500Lbs. Towing capacity is defined as the weight that the vehicle can pull such as on an RV or on a trailer. The torque is 275 lb-ft @ 300 hp which is the amount of turning power that a vehicle has. It has a payload between 1,355 to 1,404 lbs which is the weight that a vehicle can carry such as in the cabin or cargo area/truck bed. It has a tongue weight of 500Lbs which is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer puts on the hitch. You should always be safe when towing such as doing safety checks before driving. Always check the tires, the brake lights and that the trailer is secured correctly. When driving always brake sooner and make wider turns.
