Will Curt C13146 Class III Hitch FIt 2020 Acura MDX With Donut Spare Stowed Under Vehicle
Question:
Hi. I see where you indicate that this hitch will not work with a larger than 18” spare, but does the fact that I have a doughnut, not full size spare make this hitch work with my MDX? Thanks. Many of the this years MDX models now come standard with 20” rims.

Expert Reply:
You're correct. As long as your MDX has the temporary or 'donut' spare tire stowed under the vehicle, the Curt Class III # C13146 will work great. Space is tight under that vehicle, which is why a 20 inch spare would interfere with the hitch.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a couple of other accessories to complete your towing setup. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118628. You'll also need a # 2753 ball mount and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
