At this point in time (June 2020) the only trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Acura RDX come from Draw-Tite with their 1-1/4" # 36114 and 2" # 76268.
As far as the kick sensor goes, we have had a report from someone with a 2019 RDX with the Advanced model say that they were unable to get the kick sensors to pick up their foot with the hitch installed. When I looked into the possibility of a kick sensor relocation kit from Acura it looks like they say when they install a hitch the area... view full answer...
I am glad to hear the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HR4000 is working out well! this has been a very well liked rack and personally, I have not had a single complaint about it.
With that said, you will want the American made Curt # C95CR hitch for your 2022 Acura RDX. This will require no drilling or trimming to get installed and will be a pretty quick and easy install. This will have absolutely no problem carrying your bike rack either. view full answer...
No, the 2004 Acura MDX and 2015 Acura RDX require different trailer hitches. For the 2015 Acura RDX you can use Draw-tite trailer hitch # 75784. I have included a link to a video showing installation of this hitch for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop... view full answer...
The trailer hitch # C12083 is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. But your 2016 Acura RDX could be rated differently. In this case you always go by the lower rating. I checked the owner's manual for the 2016 RDX and it is rated for 1,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 150 pounds tongue weight so you would be limited to that.
Acura has determined that the vehicle design makes the vehicle capable of no more than 1,500 pounds.

Good news, this Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR will work for your 2013 Acura RDX.
The hitch I recommend for you is the Drawtite Class III # 75784. This 2 inch hitch has a 400lb tongue weight, which will work good for your carbon bikes and the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR. I have linked all the hitches for your vehicle for your convenience, there is a higher rated tongue weighted hitch from Curt # C13130. Curt highly recommends that you use a stabilizing strap # 18050 with any none trailer load,... view full answer...
As long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your 2019 Acura RDX the Swagman XC part # S64650 will fit it directly without needing any additional adapters.
For this style of bike rack the best value option is the Hollywood Racks Trail part # HR200Z. This rack is overall built better but what really sets it apart is the stability of it in the hitch when on the road...especially in this price range. It is a bit more expensive than the XC but if you are okay with going a little more... view full answer...
In order to determine if the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 you referenced would allow your rear hatch to open you'd need to take one measurement. You'd need to measure from the center of the front crossbar back to the rear hatch seam on the roof of your 2019 Acura RDX. You'd need that distance to be more than 51-1/4 inches for this to fit and allow the hatch to open completely.
We also offer this box in glossy silver with part # TH629807. view full answer...
I have never heard of a trailer hitch receiver with a pin hole depth of just 3/4" and there isn't a bike rack that is going to work with a pin hole at such a short distance.
I know this isn't the news you were looking for but the best option truly is to get the hitch you have removed and install a new one for your 2019 Acura RDX that has a pin hole plenty long enough to use either the Thule or Yakima racks listed above. You can choose from either a 1-1/4" hitch like you have now or 2"... view full answer...
For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Acura RDX that fits your 2 Electra Path 9D bikes, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360. The Trailhead has a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and will allow you to tilt the rack (with bikes unloaded) to gain better access to your vehicle's rear hatch. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike... view full answer...
Cargo Boxes such as the Thule # TH6357B Force XT aren't vehicle specific, but if the roof rack on your 2019 Acura RDX has a bar spread (span between center of front crossbar and center of rear crossbar) that can be adjusted so it's between 23-5/8 and 33 inches apart and the crossbars are 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall or less, the Thule # TH6357B Force XT roof cargo box will work great for you.

The Curt Hitch part # 13536 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for your 2007 Acura RDX and would work great with the Swagman Trailhead bike rack part # S63360.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point.

Although I do not have a video of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 56008, being installed on a 2014 Acura RDX, I have attached a copy of the installation instructions which provide pictures as well as a detailed description.
Simply open the rear hatch, remove the cargo panels, connect wiring harness to the female connector which is located under the passenger side floor spacer near the back seat, route the 4-way connector to the center of the Acura and out and out the hatch... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 will fit your 2019 Acura RDX just fine. It has a tilting feature so you can still access your cargo area with the bike rack attached and it has anti-sway cradles so you don't have to worry about the bikes rocking and hitting the vehicle. If you want to add a lock to the bike rack you can obtain the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device part # THSTL2.

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2023 Acura RDX. This mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for your Thule TopRide Bike Rack item # TH75JV. You will want the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425
Yakima SightLine Roof Rack Towers - Quantity 4 item # Y64AR

Your 2013 Acura RDX can be fitted with two sizes/classes of trailer hitch, either a lighter-duty 1-1/4-inch Class II type like # C12083 or a higher-capacity 2-inch Class III type like # 75784. Some Curt brand hitches do have a warranty requirement of using their support strap # 18050 with loads like bike racks, but since the Draw-Tite # 75784 has no such requirement I recommend this 2-inch hitch.
The written instructions and a video are linked to illustrate the installation process.

Spacers are not needed in order to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13130 on your 2018 Acura RDX and the reason is Curt decided that the hitch would fit fine without them, even though it will push up against the underneath fascia a bit. This is in contrast to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784, which, like you pointed out, does require spacer blocks in order to ensure the hitch wasn't pushing up against that fascia.
Both will work though, and there hasn't been any... view full answer...
The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Acura RDX is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76268 as it has a 350lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating making it perfect for a bike rack, cargo carrier, or even a ball mount for towing, and does not require any trimming to the fascia on your vehicle.

The Curt # C95CR, which will fit your RDX, can handle wheels up to 18" in diameter, but not over that. So yes, your spare will be fine as it is a 17" wheel. However, as the regular wheel on your 2022 Acura RDX with the Advance package is 19" and came with 235/55 R19 Continental CrossContact LX Sport tires, which measure 29.2" in diameter, it will need to be stored in the cargo area if you ever have to run the spare tire. view full answer...
The original Kuat NV which was part number N102 required a fat tire adapter part # APBK to carry bikes that have tires that are wider than 3 inches. The adapter fits tires up to 4-3/4 inches in width.
The current version of the NV part # NV22G comes with one of these adapters. If you had two fat bikes you'd need to also get an additional part # APBK. view full answer...
