For your 2009 Acura MDX you would want the Curt Hitch part # 13354. This hitch will fit all models of the 2009 MDX so it will work for you regardless of your current rear fascia. Check out the install video I attached for more info.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the # C56038. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
