Hitch and Bike Rack with Locks for 2013 Acura TSX

Question:

I have a 2013 Acura Sportwagon w/2.4l engine. My interest is in purchasing a Curt 11085 class 1 hitch for bicycle rack use only. I have yet to decide on a specific bike rack yet, but I was looking for your input on a lock you would recommend. This would be to safely secure the rack to the vehicle. Thank you.

The Curt hitch # C11085 is a fit for your 2013 Acura TSX Sportwagon and would be a great option to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. As far as a lock for a bike would go that is going to depend largely on the bike rack you pick. Most racks have specific locks that have to be used with them which sometimes are included but sometimes can be purchased separately.

For example the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FR comes with a hitch lock but if you wanted to upgrade it to a lock setup that also includes a cable lock for the bikes you'd want the part # HRLHPTC. This rack is also very easy to use and also very lightweight at 20 lbs while priced great too.
