Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Acura RDX Carrying a 2" Allen Deluxe 4 Bike Rack

Question:

Hello, I recently had an OEM tow hitch installed on my 2019 Acura RDX, but it is a class 1 1 1/4inch and I dont believe I can use any bike rack that holds four bikes. I am looking for a Class III 2inch tow hitch to be used primarily for an Allen Deluxe+ 4 Bike Hanging Rack. Another wrinkle, when they installed the hitch, they also installed a custom panel that fit with the hitch, so the hitch pokes through the panel. Is there any chance the recommended hitch might fit with that panel? If making adjustments to the hole is required I would be ok with that. TIA

I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76268 for your 2019 Acura RDX. It is a class III, 2" receiver that bolts in place with the 4 included bolts and washers.

I have attached a picture of this hitch installed on an RDX that has that hitch panel installed as you mentioned that you have. It was sent in with a customer review stating that it was a perfect fit. It also does not appear that any trimming was required on the panel.
