Earlier generations have their own in-stock cards. CURT 13130 covers 2013 through 2018 as a Class 3 with a higher published rating on the card. CURT 13154 covers 2010 through 2012 Class 3. First-gen Class 2 options include CURT 12004 for 2007 through 2009 and CURT 12083 for 2013 through 2018 if you only need a lighter tube for a bike rack or small cargo carrier.
We do not invent an RDX-specific wiring harness on this page. If a custom four-flat is not listed for your year, ask support rather than splicing blind. Driving an MDX instead? Use the Acura MDX hitch buyers guide.
