Any local mechanic to you with a solid reputation would have no problem installing the Draw Tite hitch part # 76238 that you referenced for your 2019 Acura RDX. Hitch installs are relatively easy for them as they deal with much harder jobs on a daily basis. I'd just find a local shop that you know has a great reputation and let them install it.

If you need trailer wiring as well you'd want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which installs without any vehicle wiring splicing.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
