Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2018 Acura MDX

Question:

Wanting to install a hitch and get a bike rack for my 2018 Acura MDX. I've been looking and I like the platform racks that hold the bikes by the wheels instead of the clamp because it means no contact on the frame of my bikes.

The trailer hitch that I recommend for you to install on your 2018 Acura MDX is the etrailer.com # E98840. This gives you a clean looking installation where only the receiver is showing and it has a matte black finish that is durable and does a better job at hiding dinges and scratches than the glossy finish that other trailer hitches have.

Then for a bike rack I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV. This is a platform bike rack that secures bikes by their wheels just like you mentioned. It comes with bike and rack locks as well as tilting and folding features that are easily activated with the exposed handle at the back. The T2 Pro XTR can hold up to 2 bikes that weigh 60 lbs and comes with a limited lifetime warranty so you can be confident in your purchase.

Attached is an installation video of the trailer hitch as well as a review video of the bike rack on a 2015 RDX for you to check out.
