Draw-Tite or Curt Hitch Receiver for 2022 Acura MDX
Question:
Trying to decide between draw tight and curt trailer hitch for MDX 2022. They look pretty similar other than a few slight differences. Could you explain why the installation on the curt is easy and 30 minutes and the installation on the draw tight is moderately difficult and 50 minutes?

Expert Reply:
I would be happy to help you. The difference in the installation time between the two hitch receiver's on your 2022 Acura MDX is that the Curt item # C22HR sits lower when mounted so it does not requiring trimming of the rear bumper cover. The Draw-TIte item # DT42MR sits higher after installation which requires you to cut a 4" x 3.5" section of your rear bumper cover out. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite hitch receiver item # DT42MR because of its final mounting location after install. It will have a better ground clearance than the Curt and be less conspicuous.
