Will Hollywood Racks Traveler 4-Bike Carrier Clear Bumper Of 2017 Acrua RDX With Recessed Hitch?
Question:
Since the Curt hitch is slightly recessed, will this rack have enough clearance from back of car and bumper?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13130 measures 6" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of the 2017 Acura RDX (this can be seen in one of the attached demonstration videos). Since the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500 measures 9-1/2" from the hitch pin hole, you will have plenty of clearance between your bumper and the bike rack's upright bar.
This is a really nice bike rack but keep in mind you may need to use adapter bar # RRRBCA021 to secure any oddly-shaped frame designs, which normally pertain to women's, children's, and step-thru bikes. I also think it would be a good idea to add Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC which will keep the bikes and bike rack secured to your hitch receiver. I attached a few demonstration videos for you.
