Trailer Hitch Solution for 2019 Acura RDX with 19 inch Spare Wheel/Tire
Question:
Hey Jameson... I think the hitch with the one in a quarter opening would be all I really need for a very rare use of my small trailer. And it would be less noticeable under there. But there is only one review on that hitch and the guy said he had to trim a half inch off of his fascia. Do you know one way or another if that is true because otherwise I guess I should order the 2-inch I don't see anybody having to trim fascia on those?

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.

When you say that a 19" spare will not fit under with the hitch, do you mean to include a spare that may have the same circumference? My spare is a factory space saver T155/90D17 so the rim is a 17" rim.
