Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Acura RDX
Question:
I would like to purchase a trailer hitch and bike rack for my 2007 Acura RDX. I was thinking of purchasing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", and the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches - Tilting. Will these two models work together?? I will be carrying a womens bike. If not could you please provide alternative products. Your site has been very helpful in my quest for bike racks and hitches. Thank 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. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
