Expert Reply:
The etrailer hitch part # e98840 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Acura MDX and would allow you to keep your full sized spare as long as it's an 18 inch wheel and not 19-20 inch.
When you install this hitch, you will need to temporarily remove the spare, but you will be able to reinstall it afterwards.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
