- I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite regarding the install of the # 75784 Class III receiver on your 2010 Acura RDX. Unfortunately, they doesn't have any specific information about which particular model years the fascia would need to be temporarily moved.
If you look at the installation instructions, you'll see that it's a pretty simple and straight forward installation. On some vehicles, there's not enough room to swing the hitch up into place, so the brackets holding the fascia need...

If you are still having trouble email me a pic of the fuse legend and I will help you find it exactly.

- My personal opinion would be to allow the connector portion of the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 56008, to hang out of the hatch on your 2015 Acura RDX AWD when you need to use it. I myself would be a bit reluctant to drill any type of hole in my brand new Acura but this would be totally up to you. If you decide to drill a hole through the floor, double check to make sure that you will not hit anything on the underside of the vehicle. Be sure to seal up the hole once you are done to...

- I took a look at the instructions for the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118800 and there was no mention of cargo tie-downs, and no visual representation of needing to remove any specific tie-downs.
What it did mention is that there are quite a few trim panels that need to be removed, and to do this I highly recommend the Trim Pad Remover # ALL648544.
Using the Trim Pad Remover is going to make it much simpler to get the trim panels up and out of the...

view full answer... - Can You Carry More Than 2 Bikes Using a Class I Trailer Hitch
- Yes, that note is accurate. A Class I trailer hitch receiver is limited to only 2 bikes regardless of the amount of weight it's carrying. This is due to the exaggerated force caused by the additional leverage from the bikes being further away from the vehicle. A Class II hitch, which is also 1-1/4 inches, is designed to withstand the added stress but a Class I hitch is not.
So when using a bike rack like the Thule Helium Pro, part # TH9043PRO, you're limited to only two bikes in a Class...

view full answer... - How Is 4-Pole Connector Routed to Hitch Once Installed on 2013 Acura RDX
- To use the trailer connector, you would simply pull the connector from the spare tire well and plug in your trailer. You then close the liftgate on the wire.
The rubber weatherstripping on the rear door is plenty thick enough that closing the door on the wiring will not damage it in any way as long as you keep the wiring away from the latch, which WILL damage it.
This seems like a very strange way of routing the cable, but keeping the connector stowed in the spare tire well when it is...

view full answer... - How Long Does it Take to Set Up a Weight Distribution System
- When we install weight distribution systems like the Pro Series Weight Distribution System # PS49901 that you referenced we set aside 4 hours to complete the job. We typically finish the job before the 4 hours is up, but for a first-time installer 4 hours would be about right.
I attached a link to an installation video for you to check out to the right.
If your driveway isn't level I would recommend finding a more level area.
