Weight of 2024 Acura RDX etrailer Hitch Receiver for Installation
Published 01/24/2024
Question:
How much does e72AR weigh? I'm planning to install this on my 2024 Acura RDX myself but trying to figure out if I need an extra pair off hands or not.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR weighs in at around 25 lbs so it isn't overbearingly heavy, but I do recommend having an extra set of hands nearby to help hold it in place until you can get the hardware started on your 2024 Acura RDX.
I've installed a handful off hitches and even with smaller ones it can be a bit of a circus act getting the hardware started while also holding the hitch up and making the sure mounting holes line up with the OEM holes in your vehicle so it's just easier to have someone help for a minute or two and then once the hitch is in place you can torque down the hardware on your own.
If you jump to the 6:10 minute mark of the linked installation video you can even see that our experienced installer grabs someone to help him lift the hitch in place just to make things easier.
