Installation of a Custom Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2007 Acura MDX

If you have been considering installing a hitch on your MDX for a trailer, bike rack or cargo carrier we will show you how easy it is. Some may back off when they see the instructions call for lowering the exhaust and removing the heat shield. You can do this! The video will show you how and you will save so much money doing this on your own

The first thing we want to do that will help the install is lower the spare tire. Next we need to lower the exhaust and take off this heat shield too. These both go back up when we are done, but we need room to slip up the hitch so it will go up on the side of the frame here and mount in these four holes. At this point we will start removing the exhaust brackets and then we will move on to the heat shield. This is pretty flexible, we can move this out of our way a little bit to give us more working room. We have this side finished, now we will repeat for the other side.

Our next will be to basically install the hitch, and it would be a good thing to have an extra set of hands to help out with the lifting. We have the hitch mounted by these bolts here, it is a real super tight fit, and these plates are kind of bowed in a little bit. This is for good reason as they are bowed to fit in the car. Once you tighten everything down, these plates will fit solid against the frame. We have the one side loosely installed, now we will go over the other side and do the same thing. Now we can give them their final torque. Now that we have the hitch installed, we can re-install the heat shield. Now we can re-install the exhaust to its brackets. The last thing we need to do is put the spare tire back up and that will complete our install of our hitch. That concludes our install of part # V82111 on our 2007 Acura MDX.
