I have a 2004 Acura TL. I wish to install a trailer hitch for the sole purpose of installing a bicycle rack? Availability is a problem. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few trailer hitch sites with no luck.

The TL is not rated for towing. Towing may void your warranty. I don't think there is a hitch because Acura does not want one on the TL.
Because of the rear suspension geometry, there is rapid wear on the rear tires with a heavy load of rear seat passengers or in the trunk. I am guessing that a towing load would exacerbate that wear.
these guys claim to have developed a hitch for the TL

I?m considering buying a TL but have the same issue as many owners. I don?t want to install a roof rack on a new car.
Id?l also be curious to get feedback on the car -- comfort and performance are my key areas of concern. I do all long distance highway driving. Oh yeah, and gas mileage is bcoming more of an issue too.
