Torque Spec for etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2018 Acura MDX
Question:
I am looking at buying the etrailer brand hitch for a 2018 Acura MDX and would like to know the final torque for the mounting bolts so I can get the right torque wrench. Thank you

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 is a great option for your 2018 Acura MDX! You can find the torque specs in the linked instructions. We always refer to the instructions for the specs as these can sometimes change depending on what vehicles the hitch fits and what type of hardware might need to be used. Since you don't already have a torque wrench I recommend picking up the part # PT79FR which has a 1/2" drive and is rated for up to 250 ft-lbs.
Attached is an installation video of this hitch on a 2019 MDX for you to check out.
