Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Acura RDX
Question:
Will this bike rack Kuat transfer 2 fit a 2013 Acura RDX? Which hitch receiver is recommended? We have Carbon frame bikes and I dont want my frames damaged by the rack. I noticed in some reviews it was mentioned the bike rack sits not really tight in the hitch receiver. Which would be the best choice if this bike rack does not work?

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, such as this Kuat rack, where Drawtite does not. The Drawtite # 75784 will work great for you and your Kuat bike rack.
This Kuat Transfer does have an anti-rattle pin that should secure the rack to the receiver tightly, if installed properly.
I've attached videos of both the rack and hitches being installed for your convenience.
