How to Carry a Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack with a 2013 Acura MDX

Question:

I want a bike rack and cargo carrier for my 2013 Acura MDX. The Hollywood Sport Rider SE2 HR 1400-85 doesnt work for me b/c the cargo carrier is too small to accommodate my cooler. I was curious if I could use this trunk mounted rack and the Curt cargo carrier together or if the bikes would hang too low and interfere with the cargo carrier? If that doesnt work is the only other option to create this combination to get the bike rack adapters for the carrier and/or use a roof mount system for the bikes?

Your only solution is going to be to carry the bikes on the roof of your 2013 Acura MDX and then carry a cargo carrier on the hitch at the rear of the vehicle. You can't use a different cargo carrier with the Hollywood Racks setup you mentioned.

If you need a hitch you would want the Draw Tite part # 75614 which is a fit. This would allow you to carry the Curt # C18151 that you mentioned.

For a bike rack confirmed to fit the factory bars of your vehicle the Yakima Frontloader part # Y02103 is a confirmed fit that would work well.

If you needed to install a roof rack on your vehicle check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the roof rack options we carry for your vehicle. You would need to select your roof style.
