Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

The package was quickly delivered but the box was damaged and parts of the hitch were protruding, however no damage to the hitch itself. Seems to be very well made and if you have all the right tools/equipment it's pretty simple to install. You'll need two people due to the weight of the hitch. If this hitch fits your vehicle and you're looking for a quality hitch, this is it. I would recommend this product.

Hitch looks good. Haven't installed yet. Box was delivered ripped open.

The trailer hitch works great. It sits lower than the OEM unit but no cutting is needed to the bumper.

2023 Honda Pilot

Perfect fit for our 2023 Honda Pilot. Hitch arrived in 2 days in perfect condition. Easy install. This is our third etrailer hitch.



by:
Honda Pilot

The hitch fits my 2024 Honda Pilot perfectly and looks great! Be aware that unless you have access to a lift and a helper, it’s NOT a 15-minute project as in the installations video. If you’re working alone and laying under the vehicle, as I did, it’s more like an hour. I used pieces of wood to block up one of the arms and the receiver tube, then used a bottle jack to lift the other arm and align the holes on that side. I threaded in one bolt there, moved to the other arm and lifted it the small amount needed to get a bolt started on that side. From there it was easy to insert a tighten all of the bolts. Everything aligned perfectly.

It fits my 2024 Honda Pilot like a glove. My wife and I installed the hitch with simple tools and wood blocks to lift the hitch close to the frame attachment points. Working slowly, it took us less than an hour to install.

High quality, easy to install, and consistently great service from e-trailer whenever needed. This trailer hitch has been used on a 2022 Acura MDX for bicycles, trailers, and a couple of different boats.



by:

Great quality hitch that was way to install and made of high quality material. Shipping was fast and everything arrived in great shape. eTrailer has fantastic customer service and I would be happy to do business with them again.



by:
2023 Acura MDX

Shipping was prompt and I was very pleased with the product that I received. The installation instructions and instructional video were spot on, making the installation very easy on my Acura MDX. I saw another owner’s vehicle recently, who had their hitch installed on the same model vehicle by a so-called professional. It was obvious that their hitch was aftermarket and not customized for the vehicle, with the installer having to cut the plastic trim to fit around the receiver. The etrailer hitch fit perfectly, with the installed hitch looking like it is OEM equipment. I am a very satisfied customer.

2022 Acura MDX

Installed on a 2022 Acura MDX Type S Advance (with the Hands Free Tailgate). It will be used for a bike rack. The Hitch is a quality product but it installed too close to the plastic fascia below the bumper. I had to remove and remount the hands free sensor. If there is a revision of the Hitch by etrailer, I'd suggest locating the mounting holes forward (towards the receiver) by about 3/4" and increasing the length of the receiver by the same. Doing so would provide the clearance needed without relocating the HF Sensor. I did the install the Hitch by myself. I placed it on a floor jack, rolled it under the MDX and jacked it up into place. It took me about 3 hours total (witch including moving the sensor and relocating its wiring). Incidentally, the Hands Free operation still works by kicking on either side of the receiver.



by:
2022 Acura MDX

Great heavy duty hitch. It was a very easy installation. The look is good as well. No modification to bumper required. Only complaint is packaging. The bottom of box was conpletely opened and the hitch had torn through both ends and 1 side. No damage to the hitch. I'm sure the shipping company stuggled with this package,



by:

Perfect fit. Easy to install by one person.
Box
came a little bashed from shipping. Just a couple of small scratches but that’s on UPS.



by:

Great fit, only the receiver is visible. Easy to install, bolted right up to the factory holes in the car frame.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
    To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e27KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the cross tube installs behind your rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. The matte black powder coat finish not only offers superior rust protection but it also helps to conceal the receiver below your bumper trim. The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR is made in the USA and...

  • 2024 Acura MDX Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
    I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR for your 2024 Acura MDX because it has a hidden crosstube and matte black finish so it looks great has a nice, durable finish that is well protected against the elements and any road debris. Then for a bike rack I recommend Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because of how easy it is to use and the wide variety of bikes it's compatible with. Attached are installation and review videos of both products for you to check out!

    For your 2024 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR. This hitch has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver. The 2" receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. It also has a nice matte black finish, that I think looks better than the gloss options when installed. If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the Curt...

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer hitch item # e27KR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Acura MDX That Works with Full Size Spare Tire
    I do have options for you but none of the trailer hitch options for a 2022 Acura MDX will work on models with a full size spare tire. Therefore, I recommend swapping out the full size spare tire for a smaller size so you can install a trailer hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e27KR which is what I recommend. This trailer hitch features a simple bolt-on install with no drilling required. It has a 2" opening which is great for towing or other hitch mounted accessories. If...

  • Choosing the Best Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
    The difference between the Draw-Tite # DT42MR and the etrailer # e27KR and Curt # C22HR trailer hitches for your 2023 Acura MDX is actually the amount of rear clearance as opposed to ground clearance. Ground clearance is the same between these hitches but the Draw-Tite juts out a little more with the design which is why there is some fascia trimming. Because of this I recommend going with the etrailer because it has the same design as the Curt (no fascia trimming) but it also has a matte...

Because of this you won't be able to store a full-size spare under the vehicle and will instead need a smaller spare.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Honda Pilot LX
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR is actually compatible with all sub models of the 2024 Honda Pilot. I do want to note that this hitch fits with a mini spare tire stowed under vehicle, but does not fit with full size spare. It may also interfere with the Hands-free Liftgate sensors and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost. We typically find that you can wave your foot on either side of the hitch's receiver tube and still get the sensors to work.

    The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR has a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs when used with a weight distribution system. The limiting factor here is going to be your 2023 Pilot's actual tongue weight capacity. I have no information on the capabilities of the OEM hitch but you will want to go to your owner's manual or contact Honda and find out what your Pilot's tongue weight capacity is.
