Question:
Hello, I am looking for a bike rack for my 2012 Acura TSX Special Edition with ground effects. I was looking at the trailer hitches but none of them mentioned if they would fit with the SE ground effects. Do you have anything that would fit? I want to get a bike rack that fits on the trailer hitch. It seems this would be the best way so my paint wont get scratched. Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
I checked with our hitch manufacturers and none of them have any exclusion for the 2012 Acura TSX so for a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C11496 for you.
Hitch bike racks are the way to go. They don't touch any painted surfaces and they provide a much more secure way of mounting the bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
