Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Acura RDX
    Yes, we do! To add a hitch to your 2024 Acura RDX, I recommend the etrailer item # e72AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e72AR because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but also helps with ground clearance. If...

  • Does Spare Tire Stay on 2024 Acura RDX When Installing etrailer Trailer Hitch
    Hi Diane; thanks for the question and if the spare tire is larger than 18 inches it will not be able to be stored under your 2024 Acura RDX when installing any hitch, including the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR. The foot sensor is not removed, however; that will stay on your vehicle.

  • How Large Of A Spare Tire Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e72AR Allow For On A 2024 Acura RDX
    Hey Kurt, The tech note on the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR is talking about wheel diameter and not overall diameter of the wheel and tire. Since you have 17" wheels you shouldn't have an issue with a full-size spare.

  • Do You Have Any Images Of The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2019 Acura RDX?
    While we do not have any images of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR installed on a 2019 Acura RDX you can see the similar Draw-Tite Receiver # 76268 on the images I have included. One of the images is with it installed on a RDX that had the factory 1-1/4" receiver to show how it fits with the different rear fascia cover. Currently there are no 2" hidden style receivers available which is likely due to there not being enough room to fit with the rear spare tire.

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2024 Acura RDX
    Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Acura RDX, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '24 Acura RDX are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Confirmed To Fit a 2022 Acura RDX
    I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR on your 2022 Acura RDX. I personally own a 2020 RDX and we tried to install the new Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT89GR on it but there are no holes for it to mount and not enough room between the spare tire and the rear fascia to fit it. This receiver will only fit the 2010-2018 RDX. For the 4-way flat connector you will need either the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118800 if your Acura has the 12...

  • Recommended Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Acura RDX
    I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR as the best one for your 2024 Acura RDX. This is the one I purchased for my own RDX since it comes with the matte finish and 2" receiver opening. For the 4-way wiring you will need to check the connector behind your drivers side rear panel. I have linked an installation video at the bottom of the page which will show you how to access the connector. If you only have 1 red wire on the connector you will need the Harness # 118804....

    I recommend installing The etrailer Hitch # e72AR on your 2021 Acura RDX. We tried to install the # 76902 on a 2020 Acura RDX and there was no holes for it to mount up to and not enough room between the spare tire and the rear fascia to fit it. The hitch will only fit the 2010-2018 RDX. The etrailer hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required.

    Hi Simon; we do have hitches available for your 2025 Acura RDX. The best hitch is our etrailer Hitch # e72AR. This is a Class III hitch with a bolt-on installation and a 2" receiver.

  • Recommended Class III Hitch for a 2021 Acura RDX
    A class II hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and a class III hitch like item # e72AR has a 2" receiver. A class III hitch will have more capacity to carry heavier bike's on a bike rack. It will also be able to tow more weight if that's something you're interested in. There are also more options available for accessories with a 2" receiver. The only hitches we have available for your 2021 Acura RDX are class III's. The best one is going to be the etrailer item # e72AR. This hitch is custom fit...

  • Weight of 2024 Acura RDX etrailer Hitch Receiver for Installation
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR weighs in at around 25 lbs so it isn't overbearingly heavy, but I do recommend having an extra set of hands nearby to help hold it in place until you can get the hardware started on your 2024 Acura RDX. I've installed a handful off hitches and even with smaller ones it can be a bit of a circus act getting the hardware started while also holding the hitch up and making the sure mounting holes line up with the OEM holes in your vehicle so it's...

  • Will a Spare Tire Fit w/ a Hitch Installed on a 2020 Acura RDX?
    No, it won't. Those directions are for the 2020 Acura RDX's that have the 18" spare tire, not all of them came with full size spare tires. The tire's in the way when you install the hitch so it has to come out. All of the hitches, item # C95CR, item # e72AR, and item # 36114, that fit your RDX will not allow the full size spare to be reinstalled.

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment and Recommendation for a 2019 Acura RDX
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR is the exact same hitch as the Curt 13423 that fits your 2019 Acura RDX - we just create our own unique part numbers since manufacturers can sometimes have crossover with part numbers. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR will also have the same dimensions with the only difference being that matte black finish like you mentioned. I personally like the matte black finish over the glass black standard so I recommend going with the etrailer...

  • Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2024 Acura RDX
    I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR for your 2024 Acura RDX. This is the same receiver I got for my 2020 RDX and I like how the matte black finish looks against my lower fascia compared to the other receivers which have a gloss finish which would stand out more. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will provide you with a 4-way flat connector. This is the most commonly found connector used on small trailers you may tow. It can also be used with Auxiliary Lights #...

    Thank you for your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR for your 2020 Acura RDX! I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're having installing the hardware. For your application you'll need to have a shop help you out with a solution because of the OEM internal weld nuts that the hardware connects to.
