Do Any Trailer Hitches For 2020 Acura MDX Allow 20 Inch Spare To Be Kept Under Car

Question:

I have a 2020 Acura MDX SH_AWD. I would like to install a hitch and keep my spare tire 20 under the car storage. Do you have a hitch that will do that?

Each of the trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2020 Acura MDX will require that you remove a 20 inch spare tire and it will not be able to be stored under your vehicle. Only 18 inch or smaller spare tires are able to be stored under an MDX with the installation of a trailer hitch. So if you are okay with that, there are three hitches that fit your 2020 Acura MDX:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146

- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840

Both hitches install the same, have the same capacities, and the same clearances, so I recommend just going with the most economical option. The only other thing you may need, if you plan on doing some towing, is a wiring harness, with the most reliable option being the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118628.
