Question:

Im thinking of purchasing a hitch for my 2011 Acura MDX. Ive been doing some research but im concerned purchasing the hitch. Im concerned i need buy a bumper kit to allow clearance of the hitch to stick out. Can you let me know if i purchase this mount i wont need a modified bumper or will the hitch stick out on the stock bumper. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

Installation of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, item # 75614, on your 2011 Acura MDX, will not require the purchase of a bumper kit. The hitch will install with the receiver just below the rear fascia of your MDX. We have a Photo of the # 75614 hitch installed on a 2008 MDX for your reference.
