Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch Mount Folding Cargo Carrier # e98874 Fit a 2009 Acura MDX

Question:

I noticed that the smaller Curt C18131 was recommended for a Acura MDX but did not see the same endorsement for the larger 24 x 60 e98874. I would appreciated the extra space offered by the e98874 and would like to confirm if it would fit a 2009 MDX. Since both carriers share all of the same dimensions with the exception of the basket width, would it be same to assume that it would? Thank you in advance for any clarification that you are able to provide.

You can certainly use the larger etrailer cargo carrier, # e98874, on your 2009 Acura MDX. This carrier fits in a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and measures 19-1/2 inches from hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier when down. When folded up it measures 9-1/2 inches.

Make sure that from the center of the hitch pin hole on your MDX out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle is less than 9-1/2 inches. Otherwise the carrier will not be able to fold up. I have linked instructions and a video review of the larger carrier for you to view.
