Here’s a giant list of Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings and Gross Axle Weight Ratings for the Acura MDX
The Acura MDX is Acura’s flagship SUV, which means Acura has stuffed it with its most powerful engine, making it the largest and most capable vehicle of Acura’s lineup.

Below is a table of GVWR and GAWR (Front and Rear) for the Acura MDX separated by year.
The GVWR for the 2022 Acura MDX is 5,820 lbs (AWD) and 5,600 lbs (FWD.)
The GAWR for the 2022 Acura MDX is 2,976 lbs (front)/2,965 lbs (rear) for AWD and 2,921 lbs (front)/2,767 lbs (rear) for FWD.
There is no Model Year 2021 Acura MDX.
I gleaned information from wrecking yard sites who often include photos of door jamb stickers, so the below information should be accurate.
For the most accurate information, consult the door jamb sticker on your MDX.
I’ll update this blog post as newer MDXs hit the market, especially when the Type S comes out (which should push the MDX’s GVWR past 6,000 lbs for the first time in Acura’s history.)
