Game changer for older ones.... First do a 3x3 trans flush ( drain, fill, run for 15 min, repeat 2 more times on last add quart of Lucas trans fluid and top off. I thought mine was done, but after doing this all the trans issues were resolved 100% ( did at 173k now 214k) Next, bought a suspension bushing kit from ebay ( all bushings, tie-rods, control arms, drop links etc.. ( $185 for kit) and replaced shock/struts with KYB Excel-G's. The installation of all the parts was simple. Now it drives like a new SUV. So satisfying..Best deal for a SUV out there. You can buy these cheap because everyone think the trans are bad..

I’m at 166,000 on my 06, and can easily say it’s been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. 17 mpg is pretty dead on.

And the stereo had to be replaced. It used to have a pretty bad oil leak, but has weirdly improved alot in the last 6 months. It no longer needs topped off between oil changes. We average 15.9 mpg. Timing chain was only $800 which was better than had feared. We keep it fairly well maintained, but it definitely has been neglected and abused at times too.

The 1st gen mdx is "almost" the perfect suv of its time. My only wish is if 1st and 2nd gears were a little shorter to accommodate a higher tow rating. 3500lbs is barely enough to tow a trailer and crx lol.
@calholli2 жыл бұрын
I wish it was a manual transmission.. then it would be a dream car. I have a 2002. I towed a full size 2n ford tractor on a 16' utility trailer with mine.. It didn't have any issues towing it at all. but it was really squatting the rear springs-- almost too far. The tractor is 3k lbs and the trailer is 1600 lbs... So that's 4600-- and did it just fine. (wouldn't reccomend. lol).. I don't really think the engine or brakes are inadequate for towing more than 3500lbs.. I think it just has a low tongue weight rating. It doesn't take much for the rear springs to squat down completely. If you could upgrade to stiffer springs in the rear or add airbags-- I think the engine is MORE than powerful enough to tow 5k lbs with ease..... (but then again, I'm not sure if the diffs are really strong enough-- since it has clutches and CV shafts, rather than a full axle-- like a truck)..... I know my 97 Isuzu Rodeo 5spd could tow 5k.. and My girls 2010 Dodge nitro can tow 5K lbs.. but they both have standard axles like a pickup.
