Curt Hitch For 2014 Acura MDX For Bike Rack & Trailer Towing
Question:
Thanks Kyle - that's super helpful. What else do I need to get to tow a trailer? I assume I will need a wiring harness, wire connector, ball mount, hitch ball, pin and clip. Anything else? Any recommendations?

I can help you out with hitch for your 2014 Acura MDX, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 is a great choice.
The Curt is going to offer your '14 MDX great bumper and ground clearance; when we test fit this hitch on a 2014 Acura MDX we found it was about 2-3/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper, and 14 inches from the top of the hitch to the ground. That will give you really nice clearances to keep your bikes away from the back of your Acura as well as help keep the rack from hitting the ground.
I know you said you were going to hire someone, but in case you change your mind or want to take a look to see the exact installation process, I did add a link below to a video install on a 2014 Acura MDX of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146.
