Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

I have owned this hitch for one year and everything is perfect with it. Simple to install, I would highly recommend.
by: Craig 10/09/2022
Fast delivery. Was able to install myself However, it was a little cumbersome due to the fact that I was not able to raise the vehicle. But with the use of Jackstands I was able to get it installed within an hour.

Item received with obvious scuff marks, most likely used or returned, disappointing. Be aware of a cable attached to the bottom end of the bumper fascia when cutting out the section as instructed. Video claims there’s nothing behind the fascia, incorrect information. My model MDX Advanced. Item well made and solid, good fit n finish.

Very solid and easy to install. Two people are not required, but definitely makes it easier, as it heavy to hold with one had and screw in bolts. Took about 45 minutes.

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- Liftgate Sensor Relocation Bracket on 2022 Acura MDXThe Acura MDX is the 'sister' vehicle to the Honda Pilot. The MDX and Pilot typically don't have problems with the hitch interfering with the liftgate sensors. I believe you're thinking about the RDX/Honda CR-V which frequently has an issue with the sensors once a hitch is installed. Like most vehicles with the liftgate sensors, installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite # DT42MR on the MDX/Pilot may interfere with the sensors at the center of the vehicle under the hitch receiver tube, but...
view full answer... - Do I Have To Relocate My Hands Free Sensor If I Install The Draw-Tite Hitch ReceiverYes, you might have to relocate the sensor. Typically relocating the sensor is not a problem on the MDX. My recommendation would be to install the trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2", part # DT42MR, and test the hands free liftgate. If it works to your satisfaction, you do not have to change anything. We have had customers, and employees, have luck kicking their foot to the right or left of center to activate the hands free liftgate....
view full answer... - Does The Draw-Tite DT42MR Require Bumper Trimming On A 2024 Acura MDX?Yes, cutting of the bumper fascia will be required when installing the Draw-Tite # DT42MR on a 2024 Acura MDX. You are basically cutting a 4" x 3.5" rectangle (see the image below). So the instructions are clear on exactly where to cut. I have also linked our install video below if you want to see how it's done.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Acura MDXFor your 2024 Acura MDX the hitch I would recommend is the Draw Tite part # DT42MR as it has the best towing capacities, is mostly hidden, has an easier install, and is only option that has a trailer wiring bracket built into it.
view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2022 Acura MDX Require Fascia Cutting to InstallThe Draw Tite Hitch part # DT42MR that you referenced does require fascia cutting to install. It basically just bolts up in place like you mentioned. It also would not void the hitch warranty either. I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Mounting Hardware for Draw Tite Hitch for 2022 Acura MDXWe sell replacement hardware for all of the trailer hitches we offer with the part number # RHK. You'd just need to select Draw Tite from the drop down menu on the product page and then enter our part number for the Draw Tite hitch 76453 # DT42MR and we'll ship out all the install hardware.
view full answer... - Weight of 2023 Acura MDX Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer HitchesThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR has a shipping weight of 47 lbs so you're looking at about 44 lbs for the actual weight of the trailer itself. The Draw-Tite alternative for your 2023 Acura MDX, part # DT42MR, has a shipping weight of 41 lbs so you're looking at about 38 lbs with the packaging removed. Attached are some installation videos of each hitch on a 2022 model for you to check out.
view full answer... - Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Require Fascia Trimming on 2023 Acura MDXThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR does require cutting a 4" x 3-1/2" portion of the fascia on your 2023 Acura MDX. For a hitch that does not require any fascia cutting use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Hitches for 2022 Acura MDX Fit the A-Spec ModelsI confirmed with our trailer hitch manufacturers that all of the trailer hitch receivers are a fit for the 2022 Acura MDX A-Spec: Curt part # C22HR Draw Tite # DT42MR
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2023 Acura MDXAll of our aftermarket hitch receivers install under the trim on your 2023 Acura MDX - none of them fit up into that piece of removeable trim like we see with the OEM hitch model. If you're okay with that type of hitch receiver then I recommend picking up the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR because it has an integrated bracket for attaching the # 18144 wiring connector bracket to if you plan on also installing the Curt Wiring Kit # C59236.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Acura MDXFor your 2022 Acura MDX I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR. This is a custom fit Class IV hitch with a 2" receiver. It features a concealed cross tube to help maintain a factory look and a black powder coat finish. The # DT42MR has a max gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 900 lbs. It is also compatible with weight distribution. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the Curt # C59236. The wiring harness will provide you with...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch And Complete Towing Setup For A 2022 Acura MDXYes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR you mention does in fact fit your 2022 Acura MDX. This hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000-lbs, a maximum tongue weight of 900-lbs, and has a sturdy square tube design that features an easy bolt-on design. Additionally, if you're interested in a complete towing setup you're also going to need a set of wiring # C59236 as well as a ball mount kit # 989900. Attached is a couple of videos for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for a 2022 Acura MDXThe trailer hitch options for a 2022 Acura MDX are all going to be pretty similar. If you'll be towing then I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT42MR since it has a built-in bracket for the trailer connector but if you're just going to be using bike racks and cargo carriers I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e27KR. The Draw-Tite hitch offers the best ground clearance but this also means you must trim the bumper. That said, ground clearance...
view full answer... - Draw-Tite or Curt Hitch Receiver for 2022 Acura MDXI would be happy to help you. The difference in the installation time between the two hitch receiver's on your 2022 Acura MDX is that the Curt item # C22HR sits lower when mounted so it does not requiring trimming of the rear bumper cover. The Draw-TIte item # DT42MR sits higher after installation which requires you to cut a 4" x 3.5" section of your rear bumper cover out. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite hitch receiver item # DT42MR because of its final mounting location after install....
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Bike Rack for a 2022 Acura MDXIn order to carry bikes on a 2022 Acura MDX you will fist want to start with a trailer hitch and for this I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT42MR which is a direct bolt on fit. It has a class III rating with 2" receiver tube opening which means the lists of bike rack options is endless. I recommend checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which is one of our best selling bike racks due to the features it offers like an anti-rattle hitch bolt...
view full answer... - What Trailer Hitches Fit A 2022 Acura MDX A-SpecWe do have a few options for your 2022 Acura MDX A-Spec, like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR. Both trailer hitches are rated at the same capacities of 6,000lbs GTW, and 900lbs tongue weight. These trailer hitches are also available to be used with a weight distribution system rated at a maximum of 8,000 lbs GTW and 900 lbs TW. Out of those two hitches, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # DT42MR. Reason being is that,...
view full answer... - 2022 Acura MDX Trailer Hitch RecommendationI recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR for your 2022 Acura MDX Type S (this hitch fits all models). We don't have any notes about this interfering with your foot sensor but it isn't uncommon for people to have to kick to either side of the hitch receiver as opposed to swiping your foot under the bumper. To wrap up your towing setup you need the T-One Wiring # TK59VR and a ball mount kit like the part # 989892. Attached are some videos for you to...

- How far does the Draw-Tite Receiver Hitch Extend Below the Rear Bumper on a 2022 Acura MDX?I can confirm that the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT42MR does not hang below the rear bumper trim on a 2022 Acura MDX. The installation instructions show a diagram of a 4 inch wide by 3.5 inch wide hole needing to be cut out of your bumper trim to allow access for the hitch receiver. Whether or not you replace the rear trim piece would be your choice. I have attached a link to the installation instructions. Then to add a 4-way on your MDX you'll need the Vehicle...
view full answer... - How to Order Replacement Hitch Install Bolts for 2022 Acura MDXWe sell replacement hitch install hardware for hitches that fit your 2022 Acura MDX like the # e27KR with the part # RHK. This is how you would get the bolts from us.

This is American made and has a Lifetime Warranty, but it does not include locks and getting the bikes on the rack can be a little difficult. Personally, I prefer platform style racks like the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683. Though not American made, this does include locks that lock the bike rack to the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring that Fits 2022 Acura MDXWe have a Draw Tite hitch that fits your 2022 Acura MDX with the part # DT42MR but the part number you mentioned does not fit. The one that does fit is mostly hidden and has great towing capacities. I attached an install video for more info on it as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # TK59VR which is the most reliable and easiest to install.
view full answer... - Choosing the Best Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDXThe difference between the Draw-Tite # DT42MR and the etrailer # e27KR and Curt # C22HR trailer hitches for your 2023 Acura MDX is actually the amount of rear clearance as opposed to ground clearance. Ground clearance is the same between these hitches but the Draw-Tite juts out a little more with the design which is why there is some fascia trimming. Because of this I recommend going with the etrailer because it has the same design as the Curt (no fascia trimming) but it also has a matte...
view full answer... - Does Installing Trailer Hitch on 2022 Acura MDX Affect Hands Free Liftgate OperationWe've received conflicting reports regarding whether or not the Curt # C22HR or the Draw-Tite # DT42MR interferes with the hands free liftgate feature of the 2022 Acura MDX. We've had some state that the hitch partially interferes with the sensors, but if the user waves their foot to the right or left of the receiver tube by about 12 inches and a few inches deeper under the vehicle, in most cases the sensors will read the movement and the rear hatch will open. If you do find that the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2022 Acura MDX Sport HybridI recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR on your 2022 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid. This features a hidden crosstube for a clean looking installation and then it also has a mounting bracket for wiring in case you'd like to add wiring like the T-One # TK59VR and a bracket like # 18144. Then if you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR because it has a lot of easy-to-use features and is compatible...
