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...

The Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbar TH7602B is not a fit for your vehicle but since you have the factory flush rails I recommend using the Yakima JetStream roof rack which consists of the following:

The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 is a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2021 Acura RDX and would be a really great choice.

At one point some Curt trailer hitches required the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a hitch bike rack but they recently got rid of that requirement so it's not needed.

You should check out the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Carrier # TH9028. This carrier has an anti-rattle device to prevent excessive noise while driving, is easy to install and has a tilting feature to allow for access to the rear cargo area.

To extend your Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount Item # S64671 away from the hitch you can use a hitch extender.
For a 2" receiver I recommend the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7" Item # HE06.

Dirty or corroded weld nuts on vehicle frames that prevent hitch bolts from threading are actually pretty common. Especially on vehicles that have seen a few winters.
There are a couple ways you can clean out the threads so that the bolts will thread. If you check out the links I attached below you can see how this can be accomplished. view full answer...
For your 2021 Acura RDX I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR.

The receiver attaches to factory weld nuts that you already have in your frame.

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.

According to the owner's manual for your vehicle, tire chains should be installed on the front wheels only so I couldn't contradict the advice given there. Due to the low clearance, you'd want to use a cable chain with a Class S rating, which would offer the proper amount of clearance above to the wheel well and between the inside of the tire sidewall and the suspension/steering components.
You don't provide the tire size, but according to the owner's manual the stock tire size is 235/55-18.... view full answer...

The Inno Vertical Hang 4 # INH540 can tilt, but is not designed to tilt with the bikes installed. I have a rack that you will be able to load 4 bikes and tilt it with the bikes installed. The Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Platform Rack # HR4000 is a great choice for what you need. You just need to have a 2" hitch receiver. It's much easier to load than the vertical hang 4 and has more adjustments so it will fit a wider array of bikes. It will fit well on your 2017 Acura RDX.

Since your hitch application is use of a hitch-mount 2-inch bike rack on your 2016 Acura RDX I do recommend a hitch that does not require the stabilizing strap like the Curt # C13130 does. The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 75784.

All of the Class III hitches we carry for the 2015 Acura RDX will be pretty low profile. Basically all you would see is the hitch opening right underneath you rear bumper.
The most popular option we carry is the Curt hitch part # C13130. This hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight rating and a 4,000 lb total trailer weight rating so it should do a great job for towing your trailer.

I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76268 which is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Acura RDX. In most cases it will not completely interfere with the hands free sensor.

The difference between the Rhino Rack RS2500 and ROC25 system is just the legs/feet that hold the bars and the way they mount to the vehicle; the ROC25 system is a bit newer than the RS2500. I'll also add that both of these systems are only available with black bars, so that's why you're not seeing a silver bar system available on our site.
For your 2017 Acura RDX, there is only a ROC25 system available for the naked roof with part # RR66GR. These are a great choice because the aerodynamic... view full answer...
