  • Distance From Ground To Inside Top of Receiver on etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Acura RDX
  • The distance from the ground to the inside top of the receiver for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24AR is 12-1/2". I have attached an image below showing this measurement on the Curt # C13130. The etrailer hitch is identical with the exception of the matte black powder coat finish. Since it sounds like you plan on towing, you will also want wiring. For the most reliable option I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118569. This plugs into...

  • Can Class III Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2018 Acura RDX Hold 4 Bikes
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784 that fits your 2018 Acura RDX has a 400 lb tongue weight rating so it will be able to handle a fully loaded 4-bike rack no problem. The thing that you need to mindful of though is that when I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2018 RDX it stated that the max trailer towing weight is 1,500 lbs and that you want to keep the tongue weight to 10% of that. This means that you need your bike rack plus your bikes to weigh no more...

  • Compatibility of the Light Kit # 20174 to work with the Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153
  • The off-set wiring harness that comes with the light kit # 20174 is about 3 feet long and runs straight to a light and other lead wire is about 6-feet and runs along the back edge of the Pro Series cargo carrier # 63153 before it curves up to the 2nd light. The Pro Series cargo carrier # 63153 has a tighter mesh floor which is not large enough for the plug to pass through. Therefore run the wire leads under the platform to the lights, then up the front of the carrier and around to the...

  • Is Crossbar Spread More For Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Versus Thule On 2014 Acura RDX

  • Can a Class III Trailer Hitch on 2014 Acura RDX Carry 4 Adult Bikes
  • The Class III trailer hitch installed on your 2014 Acura RDX will work well to allow you to carry 4 adult bikes on a hitch mount bike rack. The trailer hitches we offer for your RDX have tongue weight capacities of at least 400 pounds and Class III hitches do not have the same kinds of restrictions as Class I hitches. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR you referenced has a weight capacity of 150 pounds, and weighs less than 50 pounds. So overall weight of the rack will be less than...

  • Measurement of Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars to Determine if Longer Bars Can be Used
  • The metal strip between the tracks that slide onto the legs of the 59 inch Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2, is about 902 millimeters (or 35-1/2 inches). The same measurement on the 54 inch bars, part # RRVA137S-2, is about 775 millimeters (or 30-1/2 inches). The tracks that slide onto the legs are the same on both bars.

  • Weight Capacity and Comparison of Rhino Roof Racks for a 2011 Acura RDX
  • I spoke with my contact for Rhino Rack and he said the weight capacity for all Rhino-Rack roof racks for your 2011 Acura RDX is 110 lbs. I think you were looking at the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty roof rack with the Heavy-Duty crossbars, # RB1375, the leg kit, # RRRLKHD, and Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK177. The Heavy-Duty crossbars will have a higher weight capacity, but once they are installed on a 2011 Acura RDX, the entire roof rack capacity drops to 110 lbs due to the limitations on the...

  • How To Determine Ground Clearance With Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 76268 Installed On 2020 Acura RDX
  • I would be happy to help you find the ground clearance you will have when the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver # 76268 on your 2020 Acura RDX but we have not had a chance to install this hitch yet and Draw-Tite was unable to provide the exact clearance. What you will need to do is measure from the from the bottom of the rear bumper to the ground and then subtract roughly 2-1/2".

  • Trailer Hitch Solution for 2019 Acura RDX with 19 inch Spare Wheel/Tire
  • 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.

  • Recommended Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2013 Acura RDX
  • To install a hitch, for a bike rack, on your 2013 Acura RDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. You'll want the 2" receiver because it will give you the most options for a bike rack and a higher capacity incase you are transporting heavier e-bikes. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR because the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper. This leaves...

  • Yes, the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR has an similar if not the same installation method as the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C12083. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2015 Acura RDX.

  • What is the Difference Between the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider and Sport Rider?
  • The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider item # HR200Z and Sport Rider item # HR1000Z are practically identical. The only difference is that the Sport Rider has a 50 lbs capacity per bike over the Trail Riders 45 lbs. Both of these bike racks fit class I, II, and III 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. These are frame mounted bike racks that have wheel cradles for tires up to 3" wide. Both bike racks are capable of being used behind a motorhome. There's not much difference in price so my recommendation...

  • When we installed the Curt Hitch part # C13154 on a 2011 Acura RDX we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground the distance measured was 12 inches. Since the hitch opening is 2 inches tall that would mean that the bottom of the hitch would be about 9-3/4 inches from the ground.
