Does the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2019 Acura RDX Stick Out Past the Bumper

Question

Question:

It appears from the photo in the installation instructions that the Drawtite hitch #76268, sits below the spare tire. Any idea how far it extends beyond the bumper? Please advise. Thank you.

Correct, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76268 which is a fit for your 2019 Acura RDX does indeed sit below the rear spare tire. Generally speaking, hitch manufactures will position the receiver tube so it does not stick out past the rear bumper but rather flush to it or just a few inches behind it. Unfortunately, I don't have any specifics for you at this time. That said, after looking at the install photo (attached) of the Draw-Tite hitch on your RDX it appears that the receiver tube is flush to the rear bumper.
