This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Prefect fit and Solid heavy built, comes with required nuts and bolts and precise instructions. Was able to install myself with the instruction videos provided on the website. Had tough time cleaning the rust from the frame screw holes. Would strongly recommend the additional tools and accessories suggested on the website, these included the rust cleaning brush and liquid.
Sathya - 07/24/2021Extremely disappointed in what I received. This brand new Curt hitch was "packaged up damaged" in multiple areas and sold as "new." A small portion of the damage is from freight mishandling but shame on Etrailer for letting this out the door in this condition and selling it as "new."
Brooke M - 10/12/2021The Acura dealership charges $750 for a trailer hitch installed. I was hesitant to buy my own hitch for installation because I thought something that expensive must be really hard to do. NOT AT ALL! Thank-you etrailer.com for the video that gave me the confidence to install this on my 2015 RDX. Written Instructions were easy to follow. Took about 30 minutes to unbox, install, and breakdown the box it was shipped in. Once installed, this hitch is almost undetectable (looks great). I am a 42-year-old woman and did need my husband’s help to hold the hitch in place while I tightened the bolts. I purchased this hitch for use with a bike rack and it looks and works great!!
Toni - 03/26/2019Just leased new Acura RDX and wanted to install a hitch and bike rack. E=Trailer's web site and customer service (Christine) were top notch. I loved the personal attention and the You Tube videos on how to install the hitch. It took me about an hour but I was able to get underneath the car and follow the instructions. The handle nuts are the key to holding this hitch in place. It helps to bend them for easier access. Once you do that, it's a snap.

Arrived quickly. Great Customer Service. Installation instructions were straightforward and easy to follow.
Mark - 05/16/2022Easy,one-person installl once you figure out how to get and keep,it in place whilst lying on your back -yes, it can be done. The lighting harness was a simple fit, but I did have to add the fuse. I hauled a uhaul trailer on a 2000 mile round trip, no problems.
Install was easier than I expected. My intent was to get the hitch under the RDX and figure out how I would install it then call a friend for assistance. Next thing you know I keep raising the hitch with one 2x6 after another and in no time it was in place ready to be attached to the frame. It took an hour. I wish all jobs were that easy.
Marc - 04/08/2022Very easy to install on the 2018 Acura RDX. Instructions were very clear and it was a perfect fit. Good quality hitch.
Joshua K - 03/27/2022Has met expectations. Easy install with a helper. I used a floor jack to raise it into place.
I got the hitch, watched a quick video of the install and within 30 minutes had it installed. Fortunately the Accura RDX I installed it on was set up for a direct install with nut-plates and access holes available. The position of the hitch is nicely concealed below the bumper.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for my 2016 Acura RDX arrived in excellent condition and was quite easy to install. The instructions that came with the Receiver were easy to follow but I did have a problem. The handle nut stripped out while tightening torque specs. I have a Craftsman Commercial Micro Adjusting Torque Control Wrench. I called eTrailer and they assured me that the torque specifications in the instructions were correct. Based on their assurance, I can only conclude that my torque control wrench is not calibrated correctly and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver deserves 5 stars.
I've been very happy with the Curt trailer hitch receiver. Installation was fairly simple, despite my having to run to my local hardware store for two bolts that fit. (For some reason, two of them did not thread properly; I don't know why.) This really isn't a big deal to me. Since then, I've used my bike rack and small cargo platform many times. The hitch is sturdy and reasonably inconspicuous. Overall, I'm very pleased.
Perfect fit for my 2016 Acura RDX. I was able to install it in my garage with the wheels on the garage floor using the recommended tools and safety gear (safety glasses and gloves). Perfect for my bike rack.
Received my hitch in less than a week. One end had broken thru the box but there was no damage. This is a really nice quality product.
Installation tips. Get the back of the car high. I used my ramps. The hitch has to be rotated up into place. A little awkward for one person so I had my son help. Took about 5 minutes to install.
I'm pleased.
Rich D - 06/27/2018Thanks for the follow up Rich, I did want to let you know that most hitch extenders do reduce the towing capacity of the hitch by up to 50 percent.
-- Rachael H - 6/27/2018It works great! Easy to install as I recall and it’s very sturdy. We didn’t need to use the stabilizer as it was necessary to ensure it would be stable.
Acura RDX 2013 -hitch self install ~45 minutes
1) Make sure you have the 19mm socket , extender 6" or longer adapter and calibrated torque wrench. The location of the bolts is a bit finicky in the rdx and these tools help a ton if you are doing it by yourself
2) Especially if you are doing it yourself get some zip ties very long ones from home depot to hold the hitch in place temporarily (double the zip ties at each location so it doesn't snap). This thing is quite heavy and suggest you do it carefully and take the time to gently raise the hitch with some support boxes (have to do it at an angle and slide the hitch into place to align with the bolt holes due to the bumper on the way). Some have mentioned to bend the bumper , but I did not do that. raising the hitch carefully at an angle and sliding into place to align with the bolt terminals then zip tie and start to secure with the supplied bolts
3) And oh the washer has a teeths which needs to face towards the hitch .THIS is IMPORTANT
Overall looks excellent very clean finish , I am curious to know how corrosion resistant the assembly is over time ...
Thanks to folks at etrailer for excellent communication and the website layout is helpful to find recommendations and accessories
This hitch was perfect! Easy to install and works great with my bike rack. Great customer service and advise , I always trust Etrailer for products and support
Installed quickly and easily. Came as expected, packed well, and no damage. Installation was made easy with a floor jack to hold receiver in place while installing the bolts.
Great product, easy to install. Highly recommend
Scott - 05/12/2022Works great!
Frank - 05/19/2022Customer service was excellent. The price on my trailer hitch had jumped by $13 the day I ordered and Molly gave me a credit. Great people to deal with.
Perfect fit for my 2015 RDX. Excellent packing and quality product. Installed easily thanks to instructions and video. Only issue was tack weld securing nut to handle was defective. One was not lined up properly to allow bolt to enter and the other just fell off. This required a little MacGyvering with a glue gun and additional lock washer.
Not enough stars to rate. I needed the hitch by end of the week. Ordered it on Monday and it came on Wednesday. Super fast, instructions super clear, and all items needed were there. If I ever need hitch and accessories, I will not hesitate to use etrailer. Fantastic!
Perfect fit, easy to install, the service was great, Hitch looks great!!!!!
Francisco C - 09/23/2021Package arrived intact with hitch in perfect condition- all the hardware is of high quality. Very easy install on 2018 Acura RDX
