Trailer hitch/Bike rack for 2020 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid

Question:

I saw your response to a similar question about the 2019 sport hybrid, but wanted to check whether anything has changed with respect to this years model. Ive had several non-hybrid MDXs over the years and they were equipped for a trailer hitch and bike rack. The hybrid version lacks this design feature and Acura doesnt sell a product that works with the hybrid. I will only use the hitch for bikes, up to four, but usually only two. Do you have a solution for me?

According to Curt, their # C13146 is a fit for all models on the 2020 Acura MDX, including your Sport Hybrid. When installed, the crossbar of this hitch will be fully concealed behind the bumper with the only visible portion of the hitch being the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. This hitch would work perfectly for carrying a bike rack.

The # e98840 you'd looked at is also a fit, but a portion of the crossbar would be visible.

The only fit caveat is that the hitch will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire under vehicle; larger spare tires will not be able to be stored under the vehicle, the same goes for all the hitches available for the 2020 MDX.
