The cargo bag you asked about, part # 988501, is an extra large bag that measures 59 inches long by 24 inches wide by 24 inches tall and has a cargo capacity of 20 cubic ft. Since this bag is flexible, it would fit on a carrier that measures 48 inches by 32 inches. However, the excess material of the bag may extend over the rails of the carrier, which could cause the cargo to be unsteady. The bag comes with 6 straps that help secure it to the rails of your cargo carrier. It is constructed of weatherproof material and has flaps that cover the zippers, and it also folds flat for easy storage.
Another cargo bag we carry is the etrailer Cargo Bag, part # e98990. It measures 40 long by 20 inches wide by 20 high. This may be a better fit for the Pro Series # PS1040100 cargo carrier. It has a cargo capacity of 9 cubic feet, and includes 6 straps to help secure it to your cargo carrier.
In my online research, I found that the maximum towing capacity for an Acura MDX is approximately 5000 lbs. Based on that figure, the maximum tongue weight capacity would be approximately 500 lbs. This would be the combined total weight of the cargo carrier, the cargo bag, and any cargo that is stowed inside the bag or carrier.
You will want to check with the local authorities, or the authorities in any state you plan on traveling through to see if there are restrictions or if there are requirements when the license plate is not visible.
Another thing to note is that a light kit should be used on a cargo carrier if the vehicle's back signals are not visible. I have attached a link to hitch mounted cargo carrier light kits.
