Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Acura RDX w/ an 18 Inch Spare Tire

Question

Question:

I am looking for a trailer hitch for my 2022 Acura RDX. I have heard there are problems with the spare tire not fitting underneath once the hitch is installed. I have the small tire I believe it is 18" will this hitch work with my Acura? Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Item # 76268. If not is there another hitch that will. I am just going to be using it to haul my Kuat bike rack.

Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 76268 does fit your 2022 Acura RDX. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Acura with included hardware. Since you have the 18' spare tire you will have no problems with this hitch. The issue comes from the RDX's with the larger spare tires. Yours will fit neatly back where it sits now once the hitch is installed.
