Question:
I want to mount a Thule T2 Pro 2 bike rack on our 2017 RDX,which receiver would be better Curt C13130 or Draw Tite 75784 to use?

Expert Reply:
If you have the 2 inch version of the Thule T2 Pro # TH83JV then I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75784 for your 2017 Acura RDX. The Curt option would require the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using it with a bike rack per the Curt warranty requirements. Draw-Tite does not have that requirement.
If you have the 1-1/4 inch version of the T2 Pro, # TH23JV, then the only option is Curt hitch # C12083 and you would have to use the stabilization strap # 18050.
