The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR and our etrailer Receiver # e27KR is the powder coat finish. They are both custom fit receivers manufactured by Curt for your 2023 Acura MDX. We selected Curt to manufacture our receivers based on their quality and having a made in the USA product. The Curt receiver has a gloss black finish while our etrailer receiver has a matte black finish. I personally feel the matte black looks better and give you a more factory appearance that matches the matte finish accent panels.

The difference between the Draw-Tite #DT42MR and the etrailer #e27KR and Curt #C22HR trailer hitches for your 2023 Acura MDX is actually the amount of rear clearance as opposed to ground clearance. Ground clearance is the same between these hitches…
