Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

The hitch fits my 2024 Honda Pilot perfectly and looks great! Be aware that unless you have access to a lift and a helper, it’s NOT a 15-minute project as in the installations video. If you’re working alone and laying under the vehicle, as I did, it’s more like an hour. I used pieces of wood to block up one of the arms and the receiver tube, then used a bottle jack to lift the other arm and align the holes on that side. I threaded in one bolt there, moved to the other arm and lifted it the small amount needed to get a bolt started on that side. From there it was easy to insert a tighten all of the bolts. Everything aligned perfectly.

Perfect fit for our 2023 Honda Pilot. Hitch arrived in 2 days in perfect condition. Easy install. This is our third etrailer hitch.

High quality, easy to install, and consistently great service from e-trailer whenever needed. This trailer hitch has been used on a 2022 Acura MDX for bicycles, trailers, and a couple of different boats.

Great quality hitch that was way to install and made of high quality material. Shipping was fast and everything arrived in great shape. eTrailer has fantastic customer service and I would be happy to do business with them again.

2023 Acura MDX

Shipping was prompt and I was very pleased with the product that I received. The installation instructions and instructional video were spot on, making the installation very easy on my Acura MDX. I saw another owner’s vehicle recently, who had their hitch installed on the same model vehicle by a so-called professional. It was obvious that their hitch was aftermarket and not customized for the vehicle, with the installer having to cut the plastic trim to fit around the receiver. The etrailer hitch fit perfectly, with the installed hitch looking like it is OEM equipment. I am a very satisfied customer.

2022 Acura MDX

Installed on a 2022 Acura MDX Type S Advance (with the Hands Free Tailgate). It will be used for a bike rack. The Hitch is a quality product but it installed too close to the plastic fascia below the bumper. I had to remove and remount the hands free sensor. If there is a revision of the Hitch by etrailer, I'd suggest locating the mounting holes forward (towards the receiver) by about 3/4" and increasing the length of the receiver by the same. Doing so would provide the clearance needed without relocating the HF Sensor. I did the install the Hitch by myself. I placed it on a floor jack, rolled it under the MDX and jacked it up into place. It took me about 3 hours total (witch including moving the sensor and relocating its wiring). Incidentally, the Hands Free operation still works by kicking on either side of the receiver.

2022 Acura MDX

Great heavy duty hitch. It was a very easy installation. The look is good as well. No modification to bumper required. Only complaint is packaging. The bottom of box was conpletely opened and the hitch had torn through both ends and 1 side. No damage to the hitch. I'm sure the shipping company stuggled with this package,



by:

Horrible experience. I was so anxious to get this and install it to my new car but package came damaged and is missing the install bolts. Attached also is a picture of UPS when package was delivered

Oh no! I will have Customer Service get in touch as quickly as possible.



by:

Eeasy-peasy install in about an hour. Hardest part was torquing the bolts to 136 ft.lbs Like how it fits like OEM and doesn't stick out past the bumper. Will be used to hook up a covered luggage carrier and small trailer.



by:

Product is excellent very heavy duty, but the weight of the hitch broke thru the carton. Needs to be more secure inside th box. The box was almost destroyed by the weight of the hitch moving around in the carton. Hitch was Fine!



by:

Perfect fit. Easy to install by one person.

came a little bashed from shipping. Just a couple of small scratches but that’s on UPS.

2022 Type S - no kick sensor. Install was very straightforward, just required some angling as I put it into place to clear the bumper cover. Took maybe 30 minutes at most.

  • etrailer Class 3 Hitch e27KR On A 2024 Acura MDX: Will I Have To Cut Or Drill?
    For your 2024 Acura MDX I recommend the etrailer class 3 hitch # e27KR. This is a 2" receiver rated for 6,000 lbs towing and 900 lbs tongue weight. Install will be fairly easy and you will not have to do any drilling into the frame or cutting of the bumper. The hitch may push directly against part of the bumper, but you will not have to cut. You will need to lower the spare tire during install. Please note that with the hitch installed you will not be able to store a full size spare tire...

  • Will Hitch Installation Interfere With Hands-Free Liftgate On 2024 Acura MDX
    Installation of the etrailer # e27KR will likely interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor or cause loss of functionality on your 2024 Acura MDX. However, we have had some customers manage to relocate the sensor on their own so it will continue to work as intended. I have attached a picture below showing what this looks like along with our installation video for your reference.

  • What is the Tongue Weight Capacity of the etrailer Hitch for a 2023 Honda Pilot?
    The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR has a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs when used with a weight distribution system. The limiting factor here is going to be your 2023 Pilot's actual tongue weight capacity. I have no information on the capabilities of the OEM hitch but you will want to go to your owner's manual or contact Honda and find out what your Pilot's tongue weight capacity is.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Honda Pilot LX
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR is actually compatible with all sub models of the 2024 Honda Pilot. I do want to note that this hitch fits with a mini spare tire stowed under vehicle, but does not fit with full size spare. It may also interfere with the Hands-free Liftgate sensors and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost. We typically find that you can wave your foot on either side of the hitch's receiver tube and still get the sensors to work.

    To add a hitch with a 2" receiver to your 2024 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer item # e27KR. This hitch has a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight so it will work great with your Thule bike rack. I really like the way it installs too. The only portion of it you will see is the 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Acura MDX That Works with Full Size Spare Tire
    I do have options for you but none of the trailer hitch options for a 2022 Acura MDX will work on models with a full size spare tire. Therefore, I recommend swapping out the full size spare tire for a smaller size so you can install a trailer hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e27KR which is what I recommend. This trailer hitch features a simple bolt-on install with no drilling required. It has a 2" opening which is great for towing or other hitch mounted accessories. If...

  • Feedback on if Liftgate Sensor is Removed on 2023 Acura MDX
    Most customers have stated when installing a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR on their Acura MDX they have had to remove the liftgate sensor entirely. Not all have though, as some were able to relocate it, but the only specifics we have gotten are a customer who installed the # e27KR, removed the sensor bracket, and cleverly relocated it directly to the hitch (see photo below).

  • Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Require Cutting or Trimming on 2023 Honda Pilot Touring
    Installation of the etrailer # e27KR does not require any cutting of the bumper or purchasing a special panel. The receiver hangs down below the bottom of the bumper. The same is true for the Curt # C22HR you looked at. The two are identical, but I would choose the etrailer hitch for the matte black finish over the glossy finish on the Curt.
