The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784 that fits your 2018 Acura RDX has a 400 lb tongue weight rating so it will be able to handle a fully loaded 4-bike rack no problem.
The thing that you need to mindful of though is that when I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2018 RDX it stated that the max trailer towing weight is 1,500 lbs and that you want to keep the tongue weight to 10% of that. This means that you need your bike rack plus your bikes to weigh no more... view full answer...

I would be happy to help you find the ground clearance you will have when the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver # 76268 on your 2020 Acura RDX but we have not had a chance to install this hitch yet and Draw-Tite was unable to provide the exact clearance.
What you will need to do is measure from the from the bottom of the rear bumper to the ground and then subtract roughly 2-1/2". The # 76268 sits right up to the bottom of the bumper so this will give you a good ball park of the ground clearance... view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR weighs in at around 25 lbs so it isn't overbearingly heavy, but I do recommend having an extra set of hands nearby to help hold it in place until you can get the hardware started on your 2024 Acura RDX.
I've installed a handful off hitches and even with smaller ones it can be a bit of a circus act getting the hardware started while also holding the hitch up and making the sure mounting holes line up with the OEM holes in your vehicle so it's... view full answer...
I have what you need! I went ahead and pulled the Curt Hitch # C95CR from the warehouse to measure for you. From the front of the receiver tube, the center of the pinhole is 1-7/8". From the rear of the receiver tube, the center of the pinhole is 3-3/8".
I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows this dimension. view full answer...

The metal strip between the tracks that slide onto the legs of the 59 inch Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2, is about 902 millimeters (or 35-1/2 inches). The same measurement on the 54 inch bars, part # RRVA137S-2, is about 775 millimeters (or 30-1/2 inches).
The tracks that slide onto the legs are the same on both bars. They're about 298 millimeters (or 11-3/4 inches).
You should be able to measure across your vehicle's roof from where the legs fit to determine if the... view full answer...
Yes, the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR has an similar if not the same installation method as the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C12083. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2015 Acura RDX.
I have linked an installation video below for the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13130 which will have an identical installation process as the etrailer item # e24AR. I have also linked the instructions.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118569 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. view full answer...
The off-set wiring harness that comes with the light kit # 20174 is about 3 feet long and runs straight to a light and other lead wire is about 6-feet and runs along the back edge of the Pro Series cargo carrier # 63153 before it curves up to the 2nd light.
The Pro Series cargo carrier # 63153 has a tighter mesh floor which is not large enough for the plug to pass through. Therefore run the wire leads under the platform to the lights, then up the front of the carrier and around to the... view full answer...
You are correct. The Thule Roof Racks crossbar spread is almost 3 inches less than the roof racks offered by Rhino Rack for your RDX. For the Rhino-Rack roof racks the crossbar spread is 27.56 inches and the spread for Thule roof racks is 24.75 inches.
The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, part # RR66GR would be a great fit for your Acura. This roof rack features aerodynamic elliptical crossbars that have a flush design to give your vehicle that factory roof rack look. The crossbars have Vortex rubber... view full answer...
The distance from the ground to the inside top of the receiver for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24AR is 12-1/2". I have attached an image below showing this measurement on the Curt # C13130. The etrailer hitch is identical with the exception of the matte black powder coat finish.
Since it sounds like you plan on towing, you will also want wiring. For the most reliable option I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118569. This plugs into... view full answer...
The 3 hitches you asked about for your 2016 Acura RDX have the following weights when it comes to shipping:
etrailer - # e24AR - 27 lbs
Curt - # C13130 - 28 lbs
Draw-Tite - # 75784 - 29 lbs
The actual weight of the hitches is going to be a few pounds less since the shipping weight includes shipping materials. These are all going to have the exact same installation process and since the weight is all comparable it really boils down to preference.

I spoke with my contact for Rhino Rack and he said the weight capacity for all Rhino-Rack roof racks for your 2011 Acura RDX is 110 lbs. I think you were looking at the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty roof rack with the Heavy-Duty crossbars, # RB1375, the leg kit, # RRRLKHD, and Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK177. The Heavy-Duty crossbars will have a higher weight capacity, but once they are installed on a 2011 Acura RDX, the entire roof rack capacity drops to 110 lbs due to the limitations on the... view full answer...
When we installed the Curt Hitch part # C13154 on a 2011 Acura RDX we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground the distance measured was 12 inches. Since the hitch opening is 2 inches tall that would mean that the bottom of the hitch would be about 9-3/4 inches from the ground. view full answer...
Valterra Replacement Cam Lock # A522VP fits a hole diameter of 3/4-inch. This is the outside diameter of the threaded part of the cylinder. The two flat sides measure 5/8-inch apart.

I have a solution for you but none of the hitches we offer for your 2019 Acura RDX with Tech Package can be used with a 19 inch spare stored underneath the vehicle. So what your best option would be is replace the spare you have with a smaller one from Acura so that you can then install the Draw Tite hitch part # 76268.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118800 and you'd be set with an easy to install trailer wiring harness setup that's also very reliable. view full answer...
To install a hitch, for a bike rack, on your 2013 Acura RDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. You'll want the 2" receiver because it will give you the most options for a bike rack and a higher capacity incase you are transporting heavier e-bikes.
I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR because the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper. This leaves... view full answer...
The good news is that the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 can easily carry both of your 60 lb E-Bikes since it has a weight rating of 65 lbs per bike. The bad news is that if 60 lbs what you're left with after taking the battery off then you'll actually be overloading your vehicle weight rating by about 15 lbs.
If the 60 lbs you mentioned is with the battery still on each bike then you should be able to remove it which will put you right around the 150 lb mark which I got from your owner's... view full answer...
