How do I know if my 2009 Acura MDX SH-AWD has a “sport bumper”? Would my VIN be able to provide that information?

Hello Scott,

I googled "2009 Acura MDX rear Sport Bumper trim" and was able to find it is simply an option that you would have had when you got the car. That said if you got it used you wouldn't know that but yes, your VIN should be able to let you know. The Sport Bumper was just an added piece of trim though, and based on your photo you do not have it and can certainly install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e26AR.
