Made from welded steel with a black premium finish, the Hidden Hitch series of hitches are custom designed to ensure a superior fit for each make and model vehicle. Each Hidden Hitch is designed with a two-inch receiver opening to fit a number of different accessory attachments like bike racks, cargo carriers, and more! Draw-Tite Hidden Hitches are rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight (GTW) and are best suited for use with accessories or light-duty towing. The integrated anti-theft lockable receiver ensures added safety when the hitch is in use, while the included anti-rattle hitch pin provides premium performance and security. When you are not using the Hidden Hitch, you can store the removeable receiver, anti-rattle pin, and weather covers in the hard sided carrying case that is included with your purchase.
These dependable, premium custom hitches are manufactured for 2010-2018 Acura RDX and attach to your vehicle?s frame behind the bumper for a luxuriously clean appearance. Hidden Hitch trailer hitches have a sleek black powder coat finish for superior rust and corrosion resistance and come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation. Plus, each hitch is tested to meet - and exceed - V-5 and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty.
So, take that extra cooler out to the lake, hit the bike trails in the park, or hook up that utility trailer and tackle your honey-do home repairs. When you are done, remove the evidence (i.e., the removeable receiver), and go for a cruise. With the Hidden Hitch, you can do it all! Brought to you by Draw-Tite, North America?s Favorite Hitch.
Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

Always wear safety glasses during installation. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced immediately.
If excess sway occurs while towing, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up. Reduce speed and maintain steady steering until the sway subsides.
Always load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and reduces the risk of sway or instability while towing.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Always wear your seatbelt while towing.
Check all fasteners on the hitch frequently to ensure they are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure during towing. Perform periodic inspections before each towing trip.

The 76902 includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering material defects and workmanship, excluding ordinary wear and tear. The warranty is valid only if the product is installed, maintained, and used according to the manufacturer's instructions. To make a warranty claim, contact Horizon Global Americas Inc. at 47912 Halyard Drive, Suite 100, Plymouth, MI 48170, or call 1-800-632-3290. You must provide the product model number, purchase receipt, and follow the claim instructions provided. Product replacement is the sole remedy under this warranty.

The receiver kit 76900N is not included with the 76902. It is sold separately and is required for receiver installation and use. Refer to the 76900N instructions for receiver installation and operation details.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected before installation. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for guidance on battery disconnection requirements specific to your vehicle.
The manual does not specify whether bumper removal is required. However, it notes that you may need to gently pull down and rearward on the fascia attachment for additional clearance at the cross tube if needed. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 for vehicle-specific preparation instructions.
The manual does not address sensor or exhaust clearance issues specific to the Acura RDX. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for information about potential interference with sensors, exhaust systems, or other vehicle components.
The manual does not address potential interference with spare tires, steps, bumpers, or other vehicle components. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for information about clearance and compatibility with your specific vehicle configuration.
No drilling is required. The 76902 uses existing frame weldnuts on the Acura RDX for attachment. The hitch bolts directly into these factory weldnuts without modification to the vehicle frame.
The 1/2" handle nuts (Part# 1332) are inserted through the large hole in the vehicle frame rails and provide a threaded connection point for the 1/2-13 bolts. They allow the hitch to be securely fastened to the frame without requiring access to the opposite side of the frame rail.
Stop towing immediately and check all fasteners. Retighten M12×1.25 CL10.9 fasteners to 76 Lb-Ft (103 N·M) and 1/2-13 Grade 5 fasteners to 50 Lb-Ft (68 N·M). Also check the housing fasteners and tighten to 92 Lb-Ft (125 N·M) if needed. Perform frequent fastener checks before and after towing to prevent loosening.
Use the key attached to the hitch to unlock the blue handle. If the handle still will not move, do not force it. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for assistance. Forcing the handle may damage the locking mechanism.
Ensure the hitch is raised into position correctly and the receiver slots are properly aligned with the frame rail weldnuts before installing the bolts. If alignment is difficult, you may need to gently pull down and rearward on the fascia attachment for additional clearance at the cross tube. If alignment issues persist, contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 for assistance.
The handle nuts must pass through the large hole in the vehicle frame rails. If they do not fit, verify you are using the correct 1/2" handle nuts (Part# 1332) and that you are inserting them through the correct hole. If the hole appears too small or obstructed, contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 for guidance.
Ensure the top and bottom weather covers are installed correctly on the housing before attaching the housing to the hitch. The covers should fit snugly around the housing. If they do not fit, verify you have the correct covers for your hitch model. Contact the manufacturer at 800-632-3290 if the covers are damaged or do not fit.
