Differences Between the etraler Hitch part # e98840 and the Factory Hitch for a 2014 Acura MDX

Question

Question:

How is this hitch different from a factory hitch? I have not seen one on the 2014 but in the pictures it seems more hidden in the factory version.

The etrailer Hitch part # e98840 that you referenced is going to be very similar to the factory hitch that is available for the 2014 Acura MDX. The hitch openings will be in very similar locations and will attach very similarly to the frame of your vehicle.

Typically factory hitches are pretty expensive, I would be willing to bet that the # e98840 would work just as well, if not better than the factory hitch and will cost less.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out also.
