Expert Reply:
The Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR was designed to work with 2", Class III and class IV hitches only. Since you said that the hitch on your 2011 Acura MDX has a 1-1/4" opening, the Yakima # Y62VR will not work.
With your 1-1/4" hitch, you can use a traditional cargo carrier like the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # 63155. I have attached a video of this carrier for you to check out and see if it would work.
