RDX 2014 rear jackpoints

Hey everyone,
I see an article regarding jackpoints for floor jacks, but the rear picture is not clear. I am going to install a draw-tite hitch on my Acura. I see the manual showing jackpoints which are near the wheels (underneath the doors), but I guess those are mostly for the jacks which come with the car. What about a floor jack to lift the rear? Thanks!

I also appreciate if someone can take a picture of their RDX and mark out the best jacking point in the rear. Thanks!

This is the article I am talking about. The images do not match an RDX. If you see, same image is used for MDX and other models. The back of RDX is not like this.

The bumper and muffler will be in the way and there is no way to lift the rear at that point.

I have a 2014 and used this jacking point with no problems. Its the little bracket-looking thing with the hole in it, on the bottom of the big steel thing that has the rear swing arms bolted to it...dead center between the rear wheels. You cant miss it.

Awesome dude! Yeah, I suspected that is the jacking point. I just wanted to double check and make sure. I showed someone else and they are like "Do not lift from the rear center"

i was like, I am pretty sure there is a jack point in the rear.

This is what I showed them as well. Is that located on the subframe?
