Recommended Class III Receiver for 2001 Acura MDX

Question:

You listed three 2 trailer receiver hitches for this car model: Curtis, Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch. What are their differences? Which one would be easier and better for this MDX with full size spare tire? I assume these hitches are good enough for 3 to 4-bike rack.

All three Class III hitches are very similar in design, weight capacity and in the way that they would install, with the exception of the CURT Class III receiver, part # 13328.

The CURT Class III has an extra mounting flange that attaches to the rear of the bumper structure. In my opinion, the greater the number of attachment points to the vehicle, the better.

Any of the Class III receivers available for your MDX would have more than enough capacity to work with a 3 or 4-bike rack.
