There should be a legend on the fuse block that has a complete diagram of where all of the different fuses are. There should be an empty slot labeled (20A) Trailer. That is the slot that the included 20 amp fuse goes in.
If you are still having trouble email me a pic of the fuse legend and I will help you find it exactly. view full answer...
You really shouldn't be seeing any wiggle movement from the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F when the anti-rattle bolt is installed properly. The bikes may look like they are moving some during travel because of the connections between the shank, head, and main frame, but it should be a pretty solid setup. And if you're using a stabilizing strap # 18050 that should only make everything that much more stable.
When you install the anti-rattle bolt be sure to move the rack around some... view full answer...

The Curt # C13154 Class III hitch install on a 2011 Acura RDX is pretty straightforward. One a difficulty scale of 1-10 with 1 being very simple and 10 being very difficult, we rated this install as a 4. We estimate a trained technician would take about 40 minutes to complete the install, or roughly double that for the typical do-it-yourselfer.
The only tools you'll need is a metric socket set and a torque wrench.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer... view full answer...
Trailer wiring harness # 118569 is the correct one for your 2015 Acura RDX. The wiring is designed so that the 4-Way end gets ran out of the hatch when used. The hatch can be closed on the wires as long as you keep it away from the latching mechanism. The vehicle weather stripping will protect it.
If you want to run it permanently on the outside of the vehicle then you will need to remove as much of the flooring and panels as you can in the cargo area. Look for a grommet that you can run... view full answer...
Although I do not have a video of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 56008, being installed on a 2014 Acura RDX, I have attached a copy of the installation instructions which provide pictures as well as a detailed description.

The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75784 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Acura RDX. There is actually no fascia trimming or modification required for installation. On some models, it may be necessary to pull down a bit on the fascia to get additional clearance for the hitch crosstube, but this will not cause any distortion to the bumper. I have attached an image from the installation instructions to clarify this.
Otherwise this is a custom fit... view full answer...
Per the installation instructions, a roof rack is not necessary to attach the Rightline Gear SUV tent to your RDX.
Longer straps are included that can be used to pass over the top of the vehicle and ultimately attach to the windshield wiper arms. The tent also attaches to the edges of the rear wheel wells, and other straps attach to whatever points are available in the cargo area.
I have linked you to the installation instructions for the Rightline SUV Tent. view full answer...
We personally don't have any photos as of yet (February 2019) as we haven't had a chance to install the Draw-Tite # 76268 on a 2019 Acura RDX but I do have a picture from the installation instructions which I have attached for you to check out.
Since the Draw-Tite receiver sits under that rear bumper fascia it looks like you wouldn't need the extra fascia piece that Acura recommend for their OEM trailer hitch. Although this receiver won't look quite as clean as the OEM hitch the tradeoff... view full answer...
The Tow Ready # 118500 fits both the 2007-2012 Accord Crosstour and the 2007-2012 Acura RDX. You'll want to make sure you're looking at the portion of the instructions that relate to the RDX, not the Crosstour.
The connector for the Tow Ready # 118500 is located in the spare tire compartment below the floor of the cargo area. To access it, you'll need to remove the cargo area floor and the spare tire. The connector will be locate to the right of where the spare tire sits, as shown in the... view full answer...

The online owner's manual for your 2014 Acura RDX says on page 309 that chains are to be installed on the FRONT tires only and that low-profile S-Class chains are the type that should be used. These are commonly recommended for passenger cars since they still work when there is limited space inside the wheel wells.
For the RDX stock tire size 235/60-18 the best S-Class chains are the Konig Diamond Pattern K-Summit set # TH02230K66 which are shown in the linked photo. These premium chains... view full answer...
My personal opinion would be to allow the connector portion of the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 56008, to hang out of the hatch on your 2015 Acura RDX AWD when you need to use it. I myself would be a bit reluctant to drill any type of hole in my brand new Acura but this would be totally up to you. If you decide to drill a hole through the floor, double check to make sure that you will not hit anything on the underside of the vehicle. Be sure to seal up the hole once you are done to... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite regarding the install of the # 75784 Class III receiver on your 2010 Acura RDX. Unfortunately, they doesn't have any specific information about which particular model years the fascia would need to be temporarily moved.
If you look at the installation instructions, you'll see that it's a pretty simple and straight forward installation. On some vehicles, there's not enough room to swing the hitch up into place, so the brackets holding the fascia need... view full answer...
