## Description

Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 900 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 900 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Review: Installed on a 2022 Pilot Sport - This is a well-made and heavy duty hitch. A few observations and tips to share. Hitch can be installed by one person. I used two 5 gallon buckets and a few 6 inch pieces of 2x8s to support the hitch. Most important tip - dry fit the bolts in all six holes, use a wire brush and air to clean the holes, use a light oil for lubrication, even retap lightly if necessary, but please first fit the bolts and make sure they can be started by hand and will bottom out. This will make their final install much easier. Once you have positioned the hitch, start the bolt that is closest to the front of the vehicle. Then repeat for the second and then for the bolt closest to the rear. This is bit hard to do when working alone and lying on the ground, but be patient and it will work even though you might need a few attempts at starting the bolts. You will need to lower the spare tire a bit to fully seat the final two bolts on the hitch. Unfortunately, a full size tire (about 29.5 inches in height for P245/50/R20 on Pilot Sport) will not fit in the space where the donut spare is installed. We need atleast 3 more inches clearance...c'mon "Honda-Of-America"??? So I plan to use a hitch-installed spare-tire carrier on a split hitch-extender whenever I tow a small utility trailer. Or will just place the full-size spare in a enclosed trailer if that's what I am towing. Either way it's an added inconvenience for me. Often my Retriever is lounging in the trunk area whenever I tow so placing the tire in the trunk is not always an available option. Anyway, my apologies as I have digressed/ranted/etc. Tightening the bolts to 139 Ft-Lb is not easy to do lying down. I had to use a 24 inch breaker bar to tighten the bolts first. You will have to lower the spare wheel again to tighten the one bolt that is above the exhaust pipe. desertcart did a good job on delivery, just a very small paint chip in one area. The packaging from Curt is not the best for an individual home delivery. The hitch is heavy and will likely tear through the package during handling. After reading reviews at other online retailers, I chose to get this from desertcart over others simply because (in my area) I felt their drivers would handle it more carefully than the two other prominent carriers. If you can find grade J12.9 M22 shoulder bolts use them, they will be higher rated. I plan to spray paint the bolt heads when I am done to protect them from rust. If you really enjoy DIY, or want to save some $$$ over an OEM hitch and installation, this is a fun project that can be done in 30 to 90 minutes, and it will be easier to do if you get a second person to give you a hand. Best wishes for your install and safe towing.
Review: Perfect fit! 2020 Acura Mdx - This bolted right on to the predrilled/threaded holes on the frame of my Acura MDX 2020. I't a nice hitch and fits well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit! 2020 Acura Mdx
*by S***1 on April 7, 2026*

This bolted right on to the predrilled/threaded holes on the frame of my Acura MDX 2020. I't a nice hitch and fits well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid product
*by J***S on October 2, 2024*

Well-made product, perfect fit for my '14 MDX. Easy install - did it by myself in 20 min with a pair of jack stands (it is heavy, so if you don't have jack stands, might need an extra pair of hands to support the plate during installation). Make sure you tighten the bolts to specs (138 ft*lb is a lot of torque - I originally put it in using a regular wrench, and thought I had it pretty tight, but when later checked with a borrowed torque wrench, found I was well under the 138 :)) Good design, all the holes aligned perfectly with the ones in the vehicle. The packaging could be better, but mine came in a decent shape - no bends or scratches that some other reviewers reported. Once installed, looks and functions great!
