The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Acura RDX is the Draw Tite part # 75784 which is a confirmed fit. I recommend it because it has a two inch opening which has the best capacities, has a concealed crosstube so it will look the best, and because it comes with a bracket for trailer wiring to mount to.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118569 because it is our most reliable option we offer for your RDX.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
