I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42MR for your 2022 Acura MDX Type S (this hitch fits all models). We don't have any notes about this interfering with your foot sensor but it isn't uncommon for people to have to kick to either side of the hitch receiver as opposed to swiping your foot under the bumper.

To wrap up your towing setup you need the Wiring # C59236 and a ball mount kit like the part # e38NR.

Attached are some videos for you to check out.
